FN ISI Export Format VR 1.0 PT J TI Challenges for Basic Tourism Training of Women and Other Vulnerable Groups in the High Atlas in Morocco AF Schneider, Carmen AU Schneider, C AB The project “Sustainable Tourism in Local Hands” aims at creating perspectives for women and other vulnerable groups by providing basic tourism training in the remote valley of Aït Bouguemez in the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Through capacity building and the subsequent strengthening of sustainable tourism in the region, a long-term contribution to income generation will be provided. The purpose of this Bachelor Thesis is to determine expectations and possible obstacles for the participation in the planned trainings. For this, interviews with potential beneficiaries were conducted during a field visit to Aït Bouguemez. After a careful analysis of the collected data, the mentioned expectations and possible obstacles were assessed by target group. The consolidated results then provided the grounds for a set of recommendations that can be incorporated during the implementation phase of the project. ER
