The HoteliersGuild SIRIUS Campaign 2023

The HoteliersGuild, founded by Frank M. Pfaller, is a private, not-for-profit society comprising well-established international hospitality leaders who are committed to giving back to our industry, society and the environment. We invest in the future by supporting next-generation leadership within the framework of the UN Sustainable Development Goals through The HoteliersGuild Academy of Hospitality Arts and the HoteliersGuild LeadingHôtelièresChapter initiatives.

Today, we can proudly confirm that with the help of generous donations from our worldwide membership, we have succeeded in securing funds for a total of 50 scholarships.
