This is the 22nd Big Hospitality Conversation to date and kick-started an ambitious 2015 programme seeks to generate job opportunities across the UK at venues including Tottenham, Nottingham, Sheffield, Newcastle, Swansea, Belfast, Lambeth, Cardiff, Hackney, Legoland, Llandudno, Dundee / Perth, Preston / Blackpool, Leeds, Birmingham, Exeter, Maidstone, and the Isle of Wight.
George Ferguson, Mayor of Bristol said: "Bristol is a young city which is really going places. The hospitality industry is a fantastic way into employment and is creating opportunities for young people starting out."
Ufi Ibrahim, CEO of the British Hospitality Association said: "Conversations can change a life. At each and every Big Hospitality Conversation, each person in the room has the potential to change their life or someone else’s life for the better, and each and every person attending a Big Conversation event is an ambassador for the hospitality industry. The BHA wants politicians to understand how important the hospitality industry is and to help Government understand that this industry starts conversations which can transform people’s lives."
Jacqui Allum, Director of The Big Hospitality Conversation said: "Bristol is ideally placed for attracting domestic and overseas tourists. We’re delighted with the response and pledges made by prosperous local hospitality and tourism businesses who are seeking to attract young people."
