Minister for Tourism in talks on Hospitality Industry

The main goal, for the Hotel & Catering International Management Association (HCIMA), Malta, is to identify, promote and maintain the highest professional standards of Management, Education, and Training throughout all sectors of the hospitality industry.

To reinforce this commitment, the Chairman of the Local Chapter, Peter J. Lawson FHCIMA, has invited the Minister for Tourism, Dr. Michael Refalo, to open the first-ever professional seminar on Food Hygiene, in February 1999.

Other matters raised with the Minister were the setting up of Professional Service Standards involvement in the Malta Tourism Authority and HCIMA assistance in the Hotel Classification Maintenance.

The cordial meeting ended with a request by the Minister that regular meetings be held, with the intention of keeping one’s ear to the ground and in touch with the realities of the local hospitality scene.
