The Association of Hospitality Professionals (AHP) is set to host the 8th AHP Hospitality Challenge & Awards 2025 this July, spotlighting talent and inclusivity in India’s hospitality sector. This year’s event brings over 300 participants and 50 jury members across 20 categories, celebrating excellence in culinary arts, front office, F&B service, and housekeeping.
Scheduled from July 3 to 30 across premier venues in Delhi, competitions include culinary showdowns at Banarsidas Chandiwala Institute, front office simulations at Indian Hotel Academy, and towel-folding artistry at Radisson Blu Paschim Vihar. The awards ceremony will take place on July 30 at The Suryaa, New Delhi.
A standout feature is the Sashakt initiative, enabling specially-abled professionals to compete equally across categories, reinforcing AHP’s commitment to inclusion.
Vinod Gulati, AHP President, emphasized, “Hospitality thrives on talent and integrity. This platform honors those who work passionately behind the scenes.”
The grand finale will recognize outstanding contributions through the Hospitality Excellence Awards, Tourism Excellence Awards, and Food Awards, celebrating both individual and institutional achievements.
