Glion et l’hôtel George V, Paris lancent un concours conçu pour révéler les plus grands talents du luxe. Son nom est “The next Luxury Business Leader” (le prochain leader du secteur du luxe) afin d’imaginer l’expérience client de luxe de demain. Il s’agit d’un partenariat exclusif entre l’école de management hôtelier Glion et le palace Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris.

Pour Thibaut Drege, Directeur général du Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, cette initiative reflète aussi l’importance de transmettre aux nouvelles générations : « L’hospitalité est avant tout une histoire profondément humaine. Derrière chaque expérience d’exception, se trouvent des femmes et des hommes capables d’allier excellence, sens du détail et intelligence émotionnelle. Soutenir les talents de demain fait partie intégrante de notre responsabilité, et ce partenariat avec Glion représente une manière concrète de contribuer à façonner l’avenir de notre industrie. »
