August 2023 Newsletter

To The Awesome Members of The Best Club in The World

A somewhat overdue newsletter, however keeping up with all the activities and events of The Best Club in The World is somewhat daunting and before you know it, weeks have passed.

The most inspiring way to start a newsletter is with “Igniting our Young Skål Professionals and the future of Tourism in not only the Western Cape but across the Globe.” The Cape Town Club under the auspice of Aimee Lentz, one of our Past Young Skål Presidents initiated a program with the Tourism and Hospitality 3rd year students at CPUT.

1st Session was held at CPUT in May with over 60 Tourism students in attendance who opted to attend on a day that they did not need to be on campus but were so enthusiastic about seeing what Skål was all about.

I am thrilled to report that this initiative has taken off and has evolved into a “Career Travel Workshop” for tourism students to meet Tourism Leaders and discover how to connect Internationally. The potential that this offers our students, who will be our next generation leaders is invaluable.  The next session is earmarked for Wednesday 30th August to be hosted at The Diamond Works. The invitation has been extended to a few of the Tourism and Hospitality Tertiary Institutions. As part of this event, we are also inviting current and past Industry leaders to attend and interact with the students.
