Jambiani Tourism Traning Institute
The Jambiani Tourism Training Institute (JTTI) provides a practical and theoretical education for local community stakeholders. The JTTI now offers a 2-year Diploma in Tourism and Hospitality – a vocational training curriculum which offers participants the opportunity to develop their skills and thereby improve their socio-economic conditions. In addition to the Diploma, the JTTI offers short courses in English, IT, Languages and other tourism/hospitality short courses.
The restaurant Alibi's Well
The restaurant 'Alibi's Well' was openend in 2007 together with the opening of the JTTI. It is a training restaurant and kitchen in which the students learn the practical skills necessary for the local tourism and hospitality industry. Alibi's Well is open every day for lunch and offers themed dinners on Friday.
