AHIC (Arabian & African Hospitality Investment Conference) Founder Jonathan Worsley, Chairman of Bench, was awarded a letter of special recognition by the UNWTO at an AHIC conference. 

 

In a surprise presentation on stage this morning, Anita Mendiratta, Special Advisor to the Secretary General of the UNWTO, gave the letter to Worsley. 

 

The letter from Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary General of the UNWTO,  thanked Worsley for stepping forward to keep the hospitality and tourism industry connected, informed, innovative and inspired from the outset of the pandemic. 

 

He was credited with visionary leadership and using technology to deliver numerous virtual and hybrid events, step-changing how the industry connects. 

 

Surprised and delighted to receive the recognition, Worsley dedicated it to the team at Bench that has worked tirelessly to ensure AHIC returned in 2021, live in person. -TradeArabia News Service
