AMFORHT international conference: a great success!
The AMFORHT International Conference that took place at Institut Lyfe in Lyon, France, was a great success! 👍
Check out the video below to see for yourself.
Institut Lyfe students from all corners of the world and faculty demonstrated their professionalism in any way possible, giving us a glance of how good hoteliers and restaurateurs they will be after graduation.
Introduced by Dr Belgat, AMFORHT President, the International Conference was blessed by the presence of some of the greatest names of the tourism and hospitality industries - only to name a few:
- Natalia Bayona, UNWTO Executive Director
- Siandou Fofana, Ivory Coast' Minister of Tourism
- Francesco Frangialli, former UNWTO Secretary General
- Jean-Pierre Lozato-Giotart, Consultant expert Culture-Tourism next to the European Council
The Conference's very diverse audience (almost all continents were represented) showed a great interest for the two panels of the day:
- The emerging challenges of sustainable tourism and the crucial importance of education and training
- The role and place of women in the world tourism
The insightful outcomes of these panels will be added to AMFORHT's 2024 strategy to increase its efficiency and better address governments and local authorities needs and expectations.
Expect to see and hear more from the AMFORHT in 2024 and beyond!
AMFORHT is a UNWTO affiliate, and holds a Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic & Social Council (ECOSOC).
