INSTITUTE OF TOURISM STUDIES STUDENTS' PARTICIPATION IN HOTELYMPIA 2000

The Institute of Tourism Studies will be participating in Hotelympia 2000, which will be held in the United Kingdom during the second week of February. Hotelympia is the best known and most prestigious international trade show for the Hotel and Catering industry in Europe.

The show is held bi-annually and the Institute of Tourism Studies has built a formidable reputation in previous editions by winning several gold medals in the Salon Culinaire. Some 1,500 top chefs and students from around the globe will converge on the famous London Exhibition Centre at Olympia next week, to show off their culinary talents.

The Institute of Tourism Studies is sending a team of six Food Preparation and Production Students. The team, under the watchful eyes of their tutors Mr. Mario Sammut and Mr. Andrew Farrugia has been undergoing extensive training for the last two months. Mr. Philip Cauchi, the Team Manager, has expressed the view that the team, which will be competing in a total of eighteen classes, has been well prepared and will, as in the past years, achieve good results. Progress on ITS's competition performance may be viewed on the competition website: www.hotelympia.com
