H ANYC (Hotel Association of New York City) is a trade organization that records data as far back to the late 1800’s. The association’s primary purpose is to provide its clients, associates and itsmembers with the highest standard of services and best available resources. The organization is supported by compatible industry professionals and investors. Due to the efforts of past Presidents and the above- mentioned associates and up to the present President & CEO Vijay Dandpani, Today’s Hotel Association of New York City is an internationally recognized leader in New York City’s $5 billion tourism industry. To the above-mentioned event I and Hospitality News were privy to be a sponsored guest. Many industry leaders and supporters were in attendance. The event kicked off with an informative meeting, introducing an illustrious panel whom collectively delivered fact finding information for before, during and after pandemic projections. See attached below for a detailed agenda. What I found interesting and impressive is that the industry was able to quickly get back on track with $5 billion tourism industry, representing “300 of the finest hotels with over 80,000 rooms and approximately 50,000 employees”. That in itself is impressive and commendable. Also to mentioned is the industry is in front of the curve where it pertains to the presence of digital coin maintenance.
Immediately following this presentation, all were able to mingle at the cocktail reception with all interested and common parties. Although the event was inspiring, aside from my intervention with Canteen/ Compass group, I will have to divert to my colleagues whom were privy to stay an extended amount of time for a more detailed collaboration of the potential associate relationships developed. n During the presentation the following sponsors were acknowledged:
n BMS Building Maintenance Services n EPIC Insurance Brookers & Consultants
n Trak-n-Protect n Canteen Coffee n Hospitality News Magazine
