On 8 July 2026, The Asia Foundation's Tourism Development Program, supported by the New Zealand Embassy in Timor-Leste, officially handed over 20 tourism signs to improve visitor experiences in Aileu and Maubisse.

Developed with the municipal authorities and the Ministry of Tourism and Environment, the signage follows ASEAN Tourism Signage Standards. The signs were produced by local Aileu artist Jenny Rangel from Easel Art, with design support from The Asia Foundation.

The signs were handed over to government officials at Kadalak Farm (Aileu) and Knua Hakmatek (Maubisse), with installation continuing through to 10 July across priority tourism sites.

By helping visitors find key tourism destinations more easily, these signs will contribute to a more accessible tourism experience, while showcasing the unique attractions of Aileu and Maubisse.

The Asia Foundation sincerely thanks the Ministry of Tourism and Environment, local authorities, tourism businesses, and Easel Art, for their contribution to this initiative.

Every step toward a more inclusive society starts with people who believe in a better future and have the courage to help make it a reality.

Together, let's continue building that future with courage, pride and hope.

Every voice matters

Progress begins when we listen to one another, speak up for equality, and stand together against discrimination. Every act of courage, big or small, helps build a more inclusive and compassionate community.

Everyone deserves to live with dignity, respect, and the freedom to be their authentic selves in a safe and supportive environment.

Over the past two weeks, 10 tourism businesses from Aileu and Maubisse took part in a Hospitality Exchange Training at Centro Nacional de Emprego e Formação Profissional, IP (CNEFP) Tibar.

Participants from accommodation providers, restaurants and cafes gained practical experience in customer service, food and beverage, housekeeping, and front office operations.

Organised through The Asia Foundation's Tourism Development Program, in collaboration with CNEFP Tibar, and with support from New Zealand Embassy in Timor-Leste, the training aimed to enhance the quality of hospitality services, improve visitor experiences in the regions and support the sustainable growth of Timor-Leste’s tourism sector.

To support participants to apply their new skills, CNEFP Tibar will conduct follow-up mentoring visits to participating businesses.

Congratulations to all participants on successfully completing the training. We look forward to seeing these new skills applied to create even more welcoming and memorable experiences for visitors to Aileu and Maubisse.
