On Children’s Day, Grand Park Kodhipparu Maldives combined learning with fun by launching its first Playshop Series in association with the Ministry of Tourism. A delegation of prospective students from the Ahmadiyya international school visited the resort for an educational tour of the island. This trip was designed to give students who are interested in a career in hospitality firsthand experience of resort operations.

General Manager Raffaele Solferino stated, “It is pivotal that resorts contribute and invest in the future of the hospitality industry which is the main economic contributor of the nation, and one that will only be more important in the next ten years. And it is our responsibility to shape the young minds in the sustainable direction from the on-set.”

The students had the chance to connect with the management team, see how the island operated, and learn through an interactive training session with the local marine scientist. After a wonderful lunch at the Edge restaurant, the group was later joined by representatives from the resort’s Human Resources, Learning, and Development team. The first book in this Playshop series was extremely well welcomed by the participants since it was a successful technique to ignite the passion for this industry.
