The Tourism and Hospitality Industry, as one of the major contributor to GDP growth, should be able to leverage on innovation in order to contribute to sustained GDP growth of 5.5 % from 2017. The ACETH is meant to serve as a consultative platform to explore global best practices, discuss about mismatch between the demands for the Tourism and Hospitality sector and availability of a qualified and capable workforce.
