Letter from the HFTP Global President: March 2025

"I recently had the opportunity to visit Indonesia and speak at the NHI Bandung Tourism Polytechnic. Our dual focus at HFTP this year is on education and internationalization. This aligns with global opportunities in education at institutions such as NHI. Many of the schools I have visited and professionals I have spoken with have reinforced what I already know to be true: hospitality education is strong on a global level."
