On 26 October 2026, during HoKa Skills Day 2026, H.E. Huot Hak, Minister of Tourism and Chairperson of the National Committee for Tourism Professionals (NCTP), accompanied by a delegation, visited the tourism professional skills exhibition, which showcased the competencies, technical expertise, and practical application of professional skills in the hospitality and tourism sectors.
The exhibition featured a diverse range of professional skills, including barista skills, food and beverage service, mixology, wine service, housekeeping, and massage therapy. These demonstrations highlighted the diversity of tourism-related occupations and underscored the importance of technical knowledge, practical proficiency, attention to detail, and professional conduct in delivering high-quality services that meet and exceed tourists’ expectations.
Beyond providing a platform for professionals to demonstrate their competencies, the exhibition served as an opportunity to raise public awareness of the value of professional skills and the employment opportunities available in the tourism and hospitality sectors. Furthermore, the practical demonstrations highlighted the critical role of skills training in enabling trainees and employees to enhance their competencies, build professional confidence, and better prepare themselves to perform their duties effectively and efficiently.
It is worth noting that HoKa Skills Day 2026 was organised under the theme “Skills for a Shared Future: Empowering Tourism Professionals through Lifelong Learning.” The event aimed to promote awareness of the importance of professional skills, encourage lifelong learning and career development, and strengthen collaboration among government institutions, development partners, training institutions, and the private sector.
The event also sought to align skills training with the actual demands of the labour market, ensuring that the tourism workforce possesses the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to meet professional standards. Strengthening human resource capacity and fostering a culture of continuous learning will contribute to improving workforce productivity, enhancing service quality, and reinforcing the competitiveness of Cambodia’s tourism sector.
