However, these funds are not currently earmarked to support tourism training, although discussions are underway between the Egyptian Tourism Federation and the Ministry of Manpower to assign a portion of the levy from tourism establishments to training. In Belgium, for example, employer contributions and sectoral funds finance a range of public and private training initiatives. Enterprises who host registered apprentices or interns can benefit from a reduction in their social contributions for each worker or employee which participates in the train the trainer programme, up to a maximum of EUR 3 200. Other countries, however, note the absence of industry levies and support mechanisms to finance skills and career development in the tourism industry, sometimes in contrast to other sectors.
