PRESIDENT’S
LETTER
Greetings hoteliers,
I am sure that you are aware by
now that the International Luxury
Hotel Association’s INSPIRE’17
summit has been rescheduled for
December 4-5, at the Four Seasons
Miami due to the impact of Irma
on the Florida region. We know
that this has been a challenging
time for the hospitality industry
dealing with one of the most active
hurricane seasons in years, and
more recently, the mass shooting
in Las Vegas.
Now more than ever, we need to
share what we have learned about
these events, what we did right,
what we can do better, and how to
prevent future attacks or prepare
for natural disasters.
Mathew Evins, CEO & Chairman,
EVINS Communications, will be
taking the issue on during his
session “Threat Level Orange –
Operating in an Ongoing State of
Crisis” at the INSPIRE’17 Summit.
Chef Jason Bangerter of Langdon
Hall Country House Hotel will be
representing Relais & Châteaux
on our panel session “F&B and
Culinary Experiences that Define
Brands”, along with Alan De Blanco,
General Manager of the Marquis
Los Cabos, Sam Gelin, Founder,
MADE, moderated by Christian
Glauser-Benz, Vice President of
Development, Dream Hotels.
The two-day summit will be hosted
by Shane Green, CEO of SGEi and
Host of Resort Rescue, Travel
Channel, along with Nadine Sykora,
the top travel influencer and travel
videographer on Youtube where
her 800+ videos have over 40
million+ views.
It’s not too late to reserve your
ticket, register here (https://www.

and join us for the Tesla Pre-Party
at their showroom in Miami 6 pm
– 9 pm on Sunday, December 3,
2017.
Look forward to seeing you at
INSPIRE’17 Summit.
My very best,
Barak
Barak Hirschowitz,
President, International Luxury
Hotel Association
