13th July Season Opening at the Castle. Introduction of the Coastal Section of Skal International Sofia.
Our Skalleague and Vice President of SI Sofia, Yanko Krastev, began attracting tourism and hospitality professionals from the coastal destinations to join a table at the castle, where an office infrastructure is available.
Since it takes time to achieve at least 20 active memberships and receiving approval from the international executive committee, this group of professionals will be under the umbrella of SI Sofia at the beginning. The event is an invitation to all Skalleagues! European clubs will be notified and invited. Former world president Susanna Saari from Finland fully supports the event!
Susanna visited the castle last month and was very impressed and as always encourages new members to the Skal Family
Young Skål
Skål International cares about young professionals and students in tourism. In 1999, Young Skål was set up with the aim of creating a greater awareness of Skål International by those young people studying for or training in the various sectors of the travel and tourism industry, enabling them to join Skål.
Are you between 18 and 26?
Do you work in the hospitality industry?
Are you looking to enhance your potential?
The main idea constituting Young Skål is to attract young professionals to the organization and to turn them into active Skal members, once they reach the necessary qualification. The continuity of the movement can be secured by constantly recruiting new members. The members of Young Skål have the opportunity to participate in numerous activities, both in the hospitality industry and in related fields, such as culture, sports or PR. They will therefore have the possibilty of meeting Skål members and interact with them, voluntarily contributing to the general success of the organization. The young participants enjoy the support of the local Skål Club for social activities and for increasing professional experience, having at the same time the opportunity of connecting to an international network of professionals in the field.
