YOUTH EMPOWERMENT THROUGH TOURISM (YETT)

Youth Empowerment Through Tourism (YETT) is an innovative approach that harnesses the potential of the tourism industry to empower young people and create sustainable economic opportunities. This initiative focuses on equipping youth with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to actively participate in and benefit from the tourism sector.

YETT programs typically involve vocational training in hospitality, tour guiding, and entrepreneurship, as well as mentorship opportunities and access to start-up support. By engaging young people in tourism-related activities, YETT not only addresses youth unemployment but also promotes cultural exchange, fosters community development, and contributes to the preservation of local heritage. This approach recognizes the unique perspectives and energy that young people bring to the tourism industry, positioning them as valuable assets in driving innovation and sustainable growth in the sector.
