The Tourism Authority of Kiribati (TAK) conducted a one-week pastry and bakery training for resorts in Buariki, North Tarawa from 22 – 27 January 2021.
The training was part of TAK’s capacity building initiative through its Reset Kiribati program to help tourism service providers upskill their employees during the current border closure.
Participants to this training were from the Nemat Resort, Eutan Buariki Guesthouse, and Tarabuka Hideaway Lodge.
With the current high demand in domestic travel to North Tarawa, TAK hopes that the training will help these resorts offer their guests more variety. These include freshly baked croissants, mini milo ball, chocolate cake, stripped coconut bread, cinnamon rolls, bun with filling, donut cream, chocolate bread, coconut tart, and coconut cake.
TAK had provided similar training to other properties in South Tarawa, Maiana, Nonouti, and Abemama and plans to hold similar trainings in other islands the Gilbert group.
