"This is a win-win for Latin American leaders in hospitality who will be interested in the many issues that are relevant to Latin America that are discussed and debated on the world stage. It is important that Latin American concerns are voiced," says McMillan, "and the IH&RA has placed high importance on active membership from this region which today is sadly lacking."
