Dear Members and Friends,

Mabuhay and a warm welcome to the 13th UICH Les Clefs d’Or Asian Congress in the breathtaking island of Boracay, Philippines! It is with immense pride and excitement that we, Les Clefs d’Or Philippines, host this prestigious event once again 20 years after our last international congress in Manila, a monumental success led by the late, great Andy Pongco and the dedicated men and women of our organization.

Boracay is a tropical paradise renowned for its pristine turquoise waters, powdery white sand, and breathtaking sunsets that make it one of the world’s most coveted destinations. Beyond its natural beauty, Boracay offers a vibrant atmosphere with a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement, where you can indulge in world-class island activities such as parasailing, scuba diving, and island hopping, or simply unwind by the shore. As the sun sets, the island transforms into a lively hub of entertainment, culture, and culinary delights, with beachfront dining, fire dance performances, and an electric nightlife scene. Whether you seek adventure, serenity, or celebration, Boracay promises an unforgettable experience that captivates the heart of every traveler.

This congress is more than just an opportunity to showcase Boracay as a world-class destination. It is a celebration of our profession, our shared passion for service, and the enduring camaraderie that binds us as Les Clefs d’Or members. Here, you will not only experience the famed Filipino hospitality but also indulge in our rich and diverse culinary treasures, a testament to our country’s vibrant culture.

Beyond the beauty of the island, this gathering is a chance to strengthen our connections, learn from esteemed guest speakers, and explore new trends and innovations shaping our industry. Most importantly, it is an opportunity to cement and expand our global network, ensuring that the spirit of Les Clefs d’Or continues to thrive.

So, let us make the most of this time together engaging, learning, and, of course, having fun! On behalf of Les Clefs d’Or Philippines, I extend my heartfelt welcome to each and every one of you.

Maraming salamat and enjoy the congress!
