Spotlighting Future of Hospitality and FoodService
Sustainable tourism in the Asia-Pacific region is increasingly gaining momentum as both a necessity and an opportunity within the hotel sector. Previously limited to superficial measures like opt-in linen changes and glass water bottles, properties are now moving towards integrating more rooted, innovative measures in their infrastructure.
This is most evident in Singapore, where over 40% of hotels are steadfastly test-bedding new technologies and innovations while pursuing Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification. To support these efforts, FHA-HoReCa debuts the Future of Hospitality Seminar, gathering hospitality industry leaders to discuss key themes shaping the sector.
Focused on fostering innovation and sustainability, this seminar will feature speakers from Hotel Associations of various countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand), Singapore Institute of Technology, Global Sustainable Tourism Council®, and SPORE Gardens, cover three themes: Envisioning the Future of Hospitality, Sustainability and Hotel Design, and Technology & Innovation.
Other New Happenings at FHA-HoReCa
In addition to being a premier trade platform, FHA-HoReCa is also poised to be 2024's pinnacle culinary showcase with a series of new high-stakes competitions.
Debuting in 2024, the FHA Bakery Challenge will spotlight budding bakers with a "Grand Breakfast" theme to redefine breakfast, while the FHA Dessert Challenge, co-organised with the prestigious Singapore Pastry Alliance, aims to elevate the artistry of 30 top pastry chefs.
Catering to the Southeast Asian region's coffee craze, this year's FHA-HoReCa also debuts FHA Barista Challenge featuring four competitions - Barista Speed Challenge, Cafe Menu Challenge, Coffee Brewing Challenge, and Coffee Mixology Challenge - all designed to test baristas' versatility and creativity.
Alongside these new competitions, the Asian Gelato Cup and Asian Pastry Cup, where leading chefs from across the continent compete to qualify for the Gelato World Cup in Italy and the World Pastry Cup in Lyon.
