Image via Wikipedia Heart Travel might look like a regular travel agency, with its colourful posters of holiday destinations and racks of vacation brochures.
But, operating from a space in a community club in Ang Mo Kio, it does not just sell holiday packages: It also trains needy Singaporeans to be travel consultants, though they may have neither prior experience in the field nor the expected educational qualifications for the job.
Heart Travel, the first ’social enterprise’ in this field, hopes these individuals can find work in other travel agencies after about six months on the job.
