Abuja Continental Shines at IHTEF Bed-Making Challenge
In an exhilarating display of skill and dedication, the housekeeping team from Abuja Continental Hotel has clinched top honors in the highly regarded Bed-Making Challenge at the 8th International Hospitality & Tourism Expo and Forum (IHTEF). This international event, held in Abuja, has become a hallmark of excellence in the hospitality and tourism sector across Africa, and the competition certainly lived up to its reputation.
The Executive Director of the IHTEF Secretariat, Chibuikem Diala, emphasized the importance of such competitions in fostering skills development and enhancing workforce capabilities within the hospitality industry. “Events like IHTEF provide valuable opportunities for professionals to showcase their expertise, learn from each other, and uplift industry standards,” Diala stated in an interview with Africazine.
The Bed-Making Challenge is not just about speed and efficiency; it showcases attention to detail, creativity, and the art of hospitality. Abuja Continental’s team demonstrated not only superior technique but also innovative approaches to turning a simple bed into a stunning display of comfort and luxury. Participants were judged on various criteria including the neatness of their bedding, the use of materials, and their ability to work under pressure—a true testament to their training and commitment to excellence.
The IHTEF, which attracts participants from multiple African nations, fosters a spirit of camaraderie and innovation. As hospitality businesses navigate the challenges posed by global tourism changes, events like this become crucial in sharing best practices and encouraging professional growth.
In addition to the exciting competitions, the expo features numerous workshops and networking opportunities designed to connect industry leaders with emerging talents. This year’s edition gathered professionals not just from Nigeria but also from countries such as Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa, allowing for a rich exchange of ideas and experiences.
The triumph of Abuja Continental’s housekeeping team serves as a beacon of pride not only for the hotel itself but also for Nigeria’s burgeoning hospitality industry. As the nation continues to invest in tourism and hospitality, events like the IHTEF highlight the potential and promise that this sector holds for the future.
