AICR

Dear amicalistes, partners and visitors,

The Swiss Committee and I would like to give you a warm welcome to our New Homepage.

Via this website, we endeavour to reflect the passion for our Hospitality and Front Office Management professions, but also to develop our network with other hoteliers and business partners.

Since our foundation in 1964 from several Front Office Managers of luxury hotels on the French Riviera Côte d’Azur, our Amicale has been expanding to an international organization which represents 16 countries today.

Our Swiss section, founded in Lausanne in 1973, will celebrate its 40th birthday next year, representing one of the biggest international sections thanks to its active members.

It is our task and privilege to perpetuate the spirit of our Amicale, where human relationships are an endless source of inspiration, exchange and mutual support. At the same time, we would like to integrate new technologies and communication media which have changed the vision of hospitality industry as well.

We also strive to transmit our passion for our Hospitality profession to the younger generations thanks to the organization of championships for the “best receptionist”, the Bucherer trophy in Switzerland or the David Campbell trophy for the international competition.

The AICR allows its members to participate regularly in various events, organized all year-round, e.g.: Hotel inspections, presentation of new products, training, recruitment, exchange with hotel schools, promotion of our profession, leisure activities.

Whichever event is concerned, our leitmotif focuses on homely gatherings and mutual exchange.

If you are not member yet, you are more than welcome to register on our website on the registration form.

Please feel free to contact us anytime for further information, we will be glad to assist you.

I hope to be able to meet you at one of our future events very soon.

Amicalement,

Franck Albespy
President AICR Switzerland
