D. THE FACULTY OF HOSPITALITY AND TOURISM STUDIES (FHTS) The FHTS was established as a tourism-training institute in 1987 and provides basic and advanced training in a variety of operational tourism skills including for midmanagement and supervisory functions. Since 1998, the Faculty has operated under the umbrella of the Maldives College of Higher Education (MCHE), which in turn is an arm of the Ministry of Higher Education, Employment, Labour and Social Security. The vision of the FHTS is to: “Perform and be acknowledged as the outstanding academic institution within the field of hospitality and tourism studies of the nation and as one of the finest within the region.” The Faculty’s mission, among other things, states: “Focus on determining and giving necessary training, from the basic to the highest level…The training is for personnel required by the hospitality and services industries, and …other individuals who wish to enhance their knowledge of different areas of the hospitality field.” However, in its background and publicity material, the FHTS recognizes that its training output falls far short of the demand from the industry “hence the industry was short of service staff even from the very beginning”. An inadequate funding base for the faculty is the main explanation for this shortcoming. 107
The Faculty works very closely with both the MATI as the private tourism sector association and with individual tourism operators. This enables the FHTS to better respond to industry needs and requirements. E.
