Hospitality Recognition Lunch

What Is The Hospitality Recognition Lunch?

The Hospitality Recognition Lunch has grown to be one of the largest event to recognize our hospitality employees in California, due primarily to the broad base of cooperation and support from the community and local tourism leaders. Last year the event was attended by 600 people from our community, including over 500 individuals recognized for excellence in hospitality.
