Testimonial * Joseph Chalfoun

Joseph Chalfoun, Swiss Diploma in Hotel Management, BA(Hons) International Hospitality & Tourism Management, Master’s in International Hospitality & Tourism Leadership (2005)


Head of Operations - Middle East & Greece, Food Fund International, UAE

'In 2002, 

I walked into Alpine, 

a young student hungry for knowledge. 

In 2005, 

I left with so much more 

than simply having my hunger satisfied'.

 

I graduated first with a Swiss Diploma in Hotel Management, then a year later with a BA(Hons) International Hospitality & Tourism Management, and finally, 12 months later with a Master’s in International Hospitality & Tourism Leadership.  

During my years at Alpine I had the opportunity to put into practice what I learned and to practice the leadership skills I acquired.  As a result I served as the President of the Alumni Association.  I also had the great fortune of doing my internship in 5 star establishments that paved the way to the career opportunities I received upon graduation.  

In a few years, Alpine has shaped the way I think and the way I regard the hospitality industry. It has instilled in me the right values and disciplines I needed to get me from one success to another. The passion and dedication the faculty showed me and my fellow students, taught us to regard each and every day as a chance to make a difference in the lives of people we meet. And that in itself is the essence of our industry. 

In my current position, now, I attend Alpine’s Annual Career Day, to recruit student trainees and graduates for our thriving company, just because I know those students and graduates have been trained the same way I have been, trained and educated to succeed and make a difference!

It was a great opportunity for them to learn, among others, the important elements of a site that would lead to sales, search engine optimization (SEO) techniques that could rank the site up on the first page of Google and practices that could increase the social media audience.

Participants’ Testimonials:

“I would like to thank you for inviting me to the Saturday workshop. Everything was very well organized and Mr. Paschopoulos was an excellent speaker. I really enjoyed it and I enriched my knowledge in a very useful way”. Eve

“Mr. Paschopoulos was well organized and presented the material in a coherent way. I would like to participate again in another of his seminars”. John

“I would like to thank Alpine Center, City Unity College and Mr. Paschopoulos for the very interesting seminar. It was very enlightening. By the dialogue with the rest of the participants as well as by the given examples, I have acquired different perspectives and have heard many ideas related to the tourist industry at a business level”. Maria  

“I found the seminar very interesting. I had participated in a similar seminar of Mr. Arsenis in the past, which was more detailed as it involved more hours. Nevertheless, I found it very useful to refresh my memory by attending it and get an update on the latest trends. Mr. Arsenis seems to know his subject and can teach it in a pleasant and vivid way with examples. Despite the fact that I will be in Crete from March to October, please inform me in case another workshop is organized!” Polydoros

“My personal thanks for the excellent presentation. I have the pleasure to inform you that I have already tried to apply whatever you told us, other alone and other with the assistance of my graphic-web designer. I wish you a big success to all of your seminars!” Danai  

“A well structured seminar from a remarkable presenter. In less than 4 hours we had a complete picture and focused information on the issue, while we had our questions answered and learned by the questioning of the other participants from the tourist industry”. Anna
