Producing and Presenting Tourism Television Programmes: A Training Workshop at the Faculty of Tourism

 Faculty of Tourism at Damascus University, in cooperation with the Union Center for Media Training (UCMT), organized a training workshop entitled “Producing and Presenting Tourism Television Programmes” targeting fourth-year and postgraduate students of different specializations in the faculty.

Dr. Issam Haidar, Dean of the Faculty, explained that the purpose of the workshop is to familiarize students with the basic principles and concepts of tourism television programmes and how to produce and present them. This is based on the assumption that a graduate of the Faculty of Tourism is supposed to have the ability to present Syrian tourism products in the correct manner through producing and creating good content and presenting it in an attractive manner, stressing the importance of media and its great impact in activating tourism in Syria and promoting its attractions.

Director of the Union Center for Media Training,Mr. Aghyad Hijazi, pointed out that the training workshop aims to refine students’ theoretical skills away from the academic framework, and to give them broader knowledge of how to employ information related to tourist attractions in Syria in tourism media programmes.

The workshop will continue until November 9, distributed over nine training sessions.
