Site Africa hosts Cape Town event

Site Africa recently hosted an event at the Pullman Cape Town, dealing with some controversial topics.

By Tes Proos, president of SITE Africa

Many people are not aware of the ugly underbelly of our industry, with child trafficking occurring in many hotel rooms across the world.

Verona Naidoo of Accor Hotels unpacked this very sensitive and brutal topic during the session. Accor Hotels train their staff at all levels to recognise the red flags and how to handle these situations.

Ms Naidoo is the Accor director of talent management and talent acquisition for Middle East, Africa and Türkiye.

Motivational speaker Simon Ekin addressed our issues of fear: ‘The art of courage — How to turn fears into possibilities’.

Many of us still suffer from a ‘Covid hangover’. We may be back to business, but under what circumstances? The question is: how do we deal with the pressures and fears?

Willie Williams, director of sales and marketing, presented their new #Pullman Cape Town property and an overview of what is next, by the #Accor group in Southern Africa.

The Site Africa event was entertaining, interactive, and enlightening!

A special thank you to the #SITEGLOBAL foundation for supporting this event, and to #PullmanCapeTown for being such gracious hosts!
