Why should others participate in this competition? These types of competitions work so many different aspects such as team work, brainstorming, using previous and new knowledge to advance the project. The MTLHC competition allows you to have access to very knowledgeable and informative speakers. Their stories are usually quite unique and have the possibility of opening up ideas for yourself or maybe future projects. Mainly, this competition teaches you a lot about yourself as a person, how you like to learn, how you perform in teams, how you pitch, how your brain works. It’s all great skills to have later on in your social or professional development.

First, I think the MTLHC was a fantastic opportunity for us all. We met incredibly fascinating and inspiring people and discovered new cultures and ways of thinking. I am very new in the hospitality industry, so this learning was the most precious thing of this competition. This is mainly why, if I had the opportunity to do so, I would participate again. To me, the human experience was so warm and powerful that I would like to thank all the MTLHC team again for giving me the chance to live it.

I will definitely be here for the next editions if I can, to meet new talents, learn from them and share what I have experienced during this first edition. I cannot wait to see you all and I encourage every student in a hospitality school to participate in such an incredible challenge.

Having the opportunity to interact and learn from renowned hospitality professionals worldwide made every minute of this competition a rewarding experience. I feel honored that I met so many wonderful and talented people who strengthen each others’ skills and mindsets. Thank you, MTLHC team, for facilitating these connections and creating such an innovative learning experience!
