The recent General Managers’ Lunch, held on 22 October at The Highline gourmet lounge on the 9th floor of Courtyard Hotel Waterfall City, featured Dr Imtiaz Sooliman of Gift of the Givers as guest speaker. In his address, he reflected on the many devastating crises in which the organisation carries out its humanitarian work, praised the tourism industry’s spirit of ubuntu in welcoming visitors as friends, and encouraged hospitality leaders to employ one additional person wherever possible to help ease unemployment and poverty. The gathering drew a strong turnout of general managers and senior tourism executives.
