BHA chief executive joins international board
British Hospitality Association chief executive Bob Cotton has joined the board of directors of International Hotel and Restaurant Association.
“At a time when the environmental challenges facing the tourism industry are coming to the top of the agenda, the international hospitality industry has to be seen to be working together, with countries around the world supporting each other,” he said.
“As the British government is taking the lead on environmental issues, the British hospitality industry needs to have a voice in the IH&RA.
‘We are already a keen supporter of two European associations – FERCO, which represents contract caterers, and HOTREC which represents hotels and restaurants. The IH&RA represent hotels and restaurants internationally and I’m sure we can make a real contribution to its discussions.”
