ACSENDA HOSPITALITY CLUB E-NEWSLETTER WELCOME! Dear members of the Acsenda Community, It is a great pleasure to write a few words to you in this first issue of the Acsenda Hospitality Club Newsletter. This Newsletter aspires to be a meeting platform between the student, academic and business communities for the development of the hospitality industry and to boost the ideas and information exchange creating a rich path for innovation. This launch seeks to achieve several objectives: share with the Community the events, practices, news and relevant information in this area; create a showcase for students, stakeholders and allies; establish a channel for companies to transmit their experiences; and help foster creative business development. Lastly, we hope that this channel serves to strengthen the ties that unite us as a community, as a means of integration and as a networking facilitator. Thanks for reading us!
