(1) Diploma in Hotel Management Communication Module opens in Yangon

 Diploma in Hotel Management Communication Skills Module, organized by the
Ministry of Hotels  and Tourism in collaboration with Singapore tourist
Promotion

 Board and Singapore Hotel Association Training Education Centre, was opened
at Kandawgyi  Palace Hotel 01125 August. Speaking on the Occasion, Minister
for Hotels and Tourism said: "  The workbook provides the lesson schedule in
which includes, the Communication Progress,  Barriers to Communication,
Writing Effective Business Letters and Memorandums, Non-Verbal  Communication
and Making Business Presentation. The highlights on the Differing Field of
 Experience that influence communication also give me a lot of thinking as it
discusses the three  sources of Experience Belief, Attitude and Values. Since
this part deals so much about human  nature, emotion, perception, attitude,
values etc., once the course is over. I strongly believe that the  trainees
will become wellversed in social dealing and hence will be able to cope with
any type of  person at any situation. I think, everyone will agree that they
are really, important to all who work in  private companies or governmental
departments. Obviously, this course is not limited to only those  who are in
hotel and tourism industry. It will be extremely viable to all those who look
forward to a  promising future career at the international level  since the
course provides skills to reading body  language, writing effective business
letters and memorandums, controlling nervousness in making  presentations,
handling the questions raised by the audience etc."

attempt to develope export market, it is very  important not to loose sight
of changes and developments, that may directly or indirectly effect the
 international trade. The world is changing very fast. We are participating,
by some way or other, in  the globalized business and global competition.
Some changes are good, some are bad and some  are ugly. While watching global
and regional developments, we should feel local and national. We  are holding
this Seminar on Export Market Development on this background. I strongly
believe that  participants will get a good opportunity to learn about the
basic principles of marketing planning,  formulation of marketing strategy,
marketing management, marketing concept, overview of recent  regional and
global economic and monetary turbulences  .'' This Seminar is attended by 30
