SKAL INTERNATIONAL AWARD

In April of 2007, Les Roches Marbella has received the award “Importante del Turismo”. “Important in the Tourism” by the Skål Club Costa del Sol. This Professional Organization is formed by leaders of tourism of around the world, which promotes global tourism and friendship. Its members, the industry's managers and executives, meet at local, national, regional and international levels to discuss and pursue topics of common interest. The first Club was founded in 1932 in Paris by travel managers, following an educational tour of Scandinavia. The idea of international goodwill and friendship grew and, in 1934, the “Association Internationale des Skål Clubs” was formed. Skål International today has approximately 22,000 members in 500 Clubs throughout 90 nations. Most activities occur at local level, moving up through National Committees, here in Spain, under the umbrella of Skål International, headquartered at the General Secretariat in Torremolinos. This year’s “Importante del Turismo” has been awarded to our School as a recognition for the work done in the formation of Tourism Professionals and its continuous seek for Quality.
