Radisson Hotel Group has celebrated the graduation of its first graduates from their Concierge Navigation to Success Program (NTS), a new learning program designed for Saudi professionals working in the hospitality industry that was launched earlier this year in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, in an effort to uplift Saudi professionals working in the Kingdom’s hospitality sector.

It is noteworthy that the program, which was launched in May 2022 and extended over a period of six months, is supported by the Ministry of Tourism, as part of its efforts to localize the tourism sector and enhance the role of Saudis in its growth and prosperity, as it allocated 400 million riyals for training and qualifying 100,000 Saudis to work in the local tourism sector.
 
The NTS program aims to enrich the team’s skills to tailor guests’ experiences and create memorable moments while preparing them with the knowledge required to be part of the Les Clef D’or community. The program includes classroom sessions on communications, guest relations, social media usage, and more, supplemented with online training programs on theories and fundamentals.
 
HRH Princess Noura bint Khalid Al-Saud said: “We’re pleased to see the first batch of graduates from the NTS program and are confident that they will provide a high level of service to all guests visiting Saudi Arabia.
