Hotel, an edition focused on the quality of accommodation in service of the territory

The curtain goes up on the thirty–ninth edition of Hotel, the international trade fair specialized in hotel trade and catering – organized by Fiera Bolzano in collaboration with the South Tyrol Hoteliers and Public Merchants Union (HGV). Reception and territory will be also this year the main focus of the four days in Bolzano, which until Thursday, 22nd October, will propose a substantial program of events dedicated to the ho.re.ca. sector.

To cut the ribbon of the 2015 edition, the Chairman of Fiera Bolzano, Armin Hilpold, beaming for the over six hundred exhibitors present: «a figure that testifies the right direction of the efforts made in recent years». The importance of the Hotel fair for hospitality and catering, leading sectors for the whole territory, was also emphasized by the Chairman of the Hoteliers and Public Merchants Association, Manfred Pinzger, and by the Chairman of the Provincial Government, Arno Kompatscher, who stressed the need to work on the quality of the accommodation service, without focusing exclusively on price, as often happens.

At the center of an area that more than any other marks the encounter between the Italian and Central European culture, the cuisine and the gastronomy of South Tyrol are, in effect, known and renowned worldwide, with as many as 22 Michelin stars, more than 80 venues with "Gault Millau Toques" and nearly 200 Kitchen Masters. «A success that comes from the right combination between tradition and modernity – Reinhard Steger, Chairman of the Association of Chefs of South Tyrol (SKV), explains – as well as the use of the best raw materials, such as our local products, which are offered to our guests in new and original creations. Today more than ever it is important to be innovative and creative and follow closely the developments of the great chefs all over the world in order to create synergies between Italian, Mediterranean and Alpine cuisine».

From 19th to 22nd October, Hotel will be the occasion to present the many aspects of South Tyrolean cuisine, its secrets and its potential. But also the sounding board of cooks and aspiring cooks, to measure their skills in preparing dishes in a dedicated area. Professions related to tourism accommodation, if supported by adequate training and experience, may not only be harbingers of new job opportunities but also represent a real opportunity for growth for the Trentino Alto Adige region and for the entire country.
