CORNELL HOTEL SOCIETY TO MEET DURING ITA

For more than 20 years the Berlin chapter of the Cornell Hotel Society has organised a breakfast at International Tourism Berlin (ITB) for all graduates and friends of Cornell University's famous School of Hotel Administration. This year the Hong Kong chapter of that organisation is to initiate the same tradition at ITB's sister event, International Tourism Asia (ITA).

The gathering will be at 07:30 to 09:00 on Thursday, September 14 in the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which adjoins the ITA's Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre venue. Grand Hyatt general manager David Udell is one of more than 40 Society members based in Hong Kong. Members from other chapters in Bangkok, Seoul, Singapore, Jakarta and Manila are expected, along with some from even further afield. Affected ITA attendees are asked to e-mail the Society at cornellhotelsociety@hongkong.com to advise of their potential presence.

The Cornell Hotel Society is the alumni association of the Cornell School of Hotel Administration, founded in 1922. The society, which currently has 58 chapters worldwide, promotes the interests of the entire Hotel School community and fosters fellowship, education, professionalism, and training in the hospitality industry among its members and provides scholarship support to students of the Hotel School.
