From September 23-24, a
workshop on Investment Promotion Tools and Techniques was held at the Hexagon
International Hotel in Nadi organized by the South Pacific Tourism Organization
(SPTO), with funding from the Pacific Regional Tourism Capacity Building
Programme (PRTCP), sourced by the European Development Fund (EDF-10).
FSM
recently became a SPTO member.
The workshop brought
together senior Tourism and Investment officials of the Forum Island Countries
(FICs) to share information on Investment opportunities in the Pacific region
and to provide training modules on how the FICs could strengthen its Investment
Promotion Agencies (IPAs) and improve coordination between its IPAs and
National Tourism Offices (NTOs) in promoting investment opportunities in its
Tourism sector. The training modules focused on collection and management of
data, project profiling, marketing investment opportunities, and social media
and e-marketing.
A “train the trainer” component was included in the workshop
to provide tips and guides for senior officials to provide training to new
officers in their organizations.
This workshop will
prove useful to addressing the issues identified at the last FSM Investment
Facilitation Symposium held in Pohnpei last May.
FSM was represented at
this workshop by Mrs. Camille Movick-Inatio, Assistant Secretary for Trade and
Investment, and Mr. Bermance Aldis, Program Manager for Tourism from the FSM
Department of Resources and Development.
For further
