This Final Report provides a narrative of activities implemented during the two years of the program. The program consisted of 17 months of implementation (from March 2010 to July 2011) building upon the design phase (completed February 2010) that determined the program approach and provided the road map for implementation. The overall goal of the USAID-STAR program was to use tourism as a lever to increase visitor spending in communities and businesses surrounding targeted protected areas, to create alternative livelihoods that would reduce conservation threats in these protected areas, and to boost support for conservation activities in the region. | ['FHI 360', 'Biodiversity', 'Leadership with Associates (LWA)', 'Uganda', 'GSTA', 'USAID-STAR', 'Global Sustainable Tourism Alliance (GSTA) Documents'] |

This manual consists of three major components: Introduction to Tourism Workforce Development; use of the “Guide to Assessing and Designing Tourism Workforce Development Programs” which emphasizes job and career opportunities for youth; and case studies focused on implementing tourism-related workforce development programs. This manual is from a set of nine courses on Sustainable Tourism that have been developed by George Washington University as a result of compiling the lessons and best practices from the USAID Global Sustainable Tourism Alliance (GSTA) program, and other tourism development experiences. The courses train students, practitioners, donor agency representatives, and others working in related fields to understand and develop tourism and its role in international development. All the course materials are public access and also can be found inside the USAID NRM&D Learning Management Center. Your registration in these courses will allow you to actively participate in discussions of the material, and to take quizzes to check yourself for understanding at the end of each course. Each of the nine courses are offered free on a non-academic credit basis and offer a Certificate of Completion from USAID. Participants may take these courses to build your own knowledge of the field of tourism and development. The target audience for this manual, Tourism Workforce Development - A Guide To Assessing And Designing Programs, includes professionals working on tourism-related projects in developing countries, including staff from donor and government agencies, non-governmental organizations, consulting firms, universities, businesses, and other entities. | ['Biodiversity', 'Resource Series', 'Sustainable Tourism', 'USAID', 'GSTA', 'Global Sustainable Tourism Alliance (GSTA) Documents', 'USAIDOLMS'] |
