Coastal Mississippi Launches Free, Online Coast Champions Hospitality Training Program
The Coast Champions hospitality training program, administered through Bridge, a learning management system (LMS), is completely free and available online for any organization or individual involved in the tourism industry, directly or indirectly.
The Coast Champions online course is self-guided and is expected to take less than two hours to complete. Featured topics include COVID-19 best practices, the importance of tourism in Coastal Mississippi, meetings/events information and more. Ultimately, the course will address frequently asked questions from current and prospective visitors, inviting participants to learn more about the region.
As we face the COVID-19 Coronavirus threat together, the Coast Restaurant Association is working to help our Mississippi Gulf Coast restaurants by keeping the public informed about which businesses are open and provide you with links to the resources you need. If there is anything we can help you with, please call (228) 324-0032 or email director@chefsofthecoast.org.
