HoKa Handbook

Hospitality Kampuchea (HoKa) is a training programme aimed at supporting skills development in developing or emerging tourism destinations in Cambodia. HoKa was designed and implemented by the Mekong Inclusive Growth and Innovation Programme (MIGIP) during 2018-2020 as an “initial phase”, partly funded by the Laguna Foundation and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). HoKa was built on the training materials and the practices applied in the Skills Development Program Phase 1, which is a mandated project from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and implemented by Swisscontact.

The HoKa programme initiated and implemented a dual-approach in-house training for various hospitality occupations within targeted destinations. The long-term objective is to implement HoKa training in other destinations in Cambodia and make it a cornerstone of work-based vocational training in the hospitality industry.

Purpose of the manual

This HoKa Guideline Manual aims to provide step-by-step instruction on how to implement HoKa training programmes in Cambodia.  The Handbook helps ensure quality and consistency for HoKa implementation.  It is a key reference document for any programme, project or organisation wishing to implement HoKa training.

The target audiences of this manual are organisations, Provincial Tourism Departments, projects, training providers, NGOs, groups, associations, or other interested parties or organisations.

It is essential that the Project Owner and Implementing Partner have a clear understanding of the processes and procedures for effective implementation of the programme.
