BSBI Hosts Guest Speaker for MA International Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management Programme

On Thursday 11 February, Berlin School of Business and Innovation hosted a guest speaker as part of the Hospitality Operations Management module on the MA International Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management programme. The event was organised by Anastasia Kiritsi, Lecturer at BSBI. 

BSBI were pleased to welcome Mr Ori Kafri, owner of J.K Place Hotels, a multi-awarding winning hotel chain.

Mr Kafri started his career at the age of 21 and set up his first hotel in 2003 in Firenze. He then opened a site in Capri in 2007, followed by a site in Rome. Last year, JK Place Hotels launched a fourth site in Paris.

The event was extremely successful with students gleaning a range of insights from Mr Kafri. They were greatly inspired by his philosophy and enjoyed hearing about how he had learned some of the best business practices. 

BSBI looks forward to hosting more guests soon.
