39
FS Regional Workshop 2012
Findings and Outcomes
Other general comments and or recommendation that were noted and recorded for consideration from the AMS Workshops and Field Study for the Establishment of a Regional Secretariat for ASEAN Tourism Professionals:
• The Secretariat needs to be resourced appropriately from the beginning or it will not be effective

• Management ideally should have working experience across the AMS

Findings and Outcomes
• Government must assist with improving efficiencies with work permits for Tourism Professionals
• Ensure that any seed feeding provided to the Secretariat by Government does not impact negatively on the existing funding for Tourism organisations and boards

• The regional secretariat should improve the human resource capability of Tourism Professionals
41
FS Regional Workshop 2012
Findings and Outcomes
• The services provided and benefits received need to be transparent and must be for all AMS and not just accrue to the Host country

48
FS Regional Workshop 2012
Recommendations8. Consideration be given for the Training Services Division
to be managed on behalf of the Regional Secretariat for Tourism Professionals by WAI to ensure there is a capable and qualified resource of managing the regional tasks outlined for this Division.
These major tasks to address and to support the MRA implementation are:

The ASEAN Qualifications Equivalence Matrix (AQEM) be continuously maintained and updated
Common ASEAN Tourism Curriculum (CATC) be the basis of minimum Industry Standards for National Qualifications
Regional Qualifications Framework and Skills Recognition System (RQFSRS) be recognised and utilised.
50
FS Regional Workshop 2012
Recommendations• WAI has a history of working with ASEAN and the existing
partnerships WAI has throughout the ASEAN region and resources could be utilised to advantage:
Singapore – WDA, WAI Tourism CET Centre
Malaysia - Berjaya University College of Hospitality
Thailand – Dusit Thani College

51

Recommendations9. Included in the Training Services Division responsibilities
will be the establishment of the proposed Tourism Training Resource Centres in each AMS.
Recommend these to be funded for a maximum of 2 years by each AMS. At the end of year 2 the Regional Secretariat for Tourism Professionals will need to be self funding and would then divert portions of revenue to support the AMS Tourism Training Resource Centres in each AMS.
Anticipating revenues increasing significantly between years 3 to 5 then further investment can be made.
10.
