Dear Young Hoteliers of Austria!

I am very proud to announce the 8th Young Hotelier Award contest with the first time being held and organized all across Austria.

During the past years the hospitality industry revealed outstanding talents and it became evident that there is much more potential to be developed to true ambassadors of the Austrian hospitality industry.

This year we are able to address young hoteliers with different backgrounds, educations and career paths, as we are offering two contests with different admission requirements: One is addressing young talents in front line positions up to the age of 25 with the main prize of a scholarship at Cornell University in Ithaka, New York. The newly added category addresses everybody eligible to an MBA study up to the age of 35, sponsored by Modul University Austria.

I am looking forward to many participants and wish you all the best for the contest.

Let the YHAs begin!

Yours Dieter Fenz (President of GMC from Vienna Marriott Hotel)
