Continuous Tourism Related Education (CTRE)

Continuous Tourism Related Education (CTRE) is a program managed by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) and aims to provide professional development and continuing education for licensed tourist guides in the country. The CTRE program allows tourist guides to update their skills, knowledge, and competencies through workshops, seminars, and training sessions. Participation in CTRE activities is often required for tourist guides to renew their licenses, ensuring they stay informed about the latest trends, regulations, and developments in the tourism industry. The program promotes high standards of service quality in the Malaysian tourism sector, contributing to better customer experiences for both domestic and international visitors.

Under the CTRE program, tourist guides have the opportunity to enhance their skills through both classroom learning and practical outdoor experiences. This combination of theoretical and practical learning ensures that tourist guides are well-equipped to provide informed, engaging, and professional services to visitors.
