So, learn more and implement what you learn. Always consider the 5 factors which determine your success i.e. Attitude, Skill, Knowledge, Excellence, & Drive or Dream. It was the tenth edition of the summit, which witnessed the participation of the stalwarts of the Indian hospitality sector resulting in knowledge building and thought leadership.
