BHA On-Line Foreign Language Training Program

BHA launched the program four months ago with seven hotels to gauge response.  It has far exceeded expectations, with over 1,200 employees enrolled.  We’re now rolling it out to all members!
 
The program is designed for all levels – and can support employees with using basic words and phrases to becoming conversational.  Often, in our industry, providing basic words and phrases goes a long way towards making a guest feel welcome and comfortable.
 
BHA has entered into an agreement with LiveMocha , the world’s largest provider of online foreign language training, providing an attractive enrollment rate to members.  The offer extends to training for over 35 different languages including Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Russian, and Mandarin.  The normal retail price to register directly with LiveMocha is $100/person.  We are making it available to members for $10 per registrant.
 
We hope this offer excites you as much as it does us.  BHA, the Ministry of Tourism, and other stakeholders are working a number of fronts to realize the potential of the Latin American and other overseas markets.  Research reveals the tremendous opportunity which The Bahamas has to grow the Latin American and other non-English speaking markets.  Exit surveys of Latin American visitors since the start of direct service a year ago by Copa Airlines show a high level of satisfaction for The Bahamas but also show a high level of frustration in our language limitations.
 
We encourage you to consider participating in the program. Contact the Latasha Allen at the BHA today to register.
