World's Best Receptionist
Every year, the AICR UK hosts a competition with a chance to become the World's Best Receptionist. Hoteliers can nominate their best team members to battle in this competition and show off their true hospitality skills. The winner will be sent to a worldwide destination for a final round and perhaps be awarded the coveted World's Best Receptionist title!
The Receptionist of the Year competition consists of various stages where your skills will be judged by industry experts against other Hotel Receptionists from all over the UK. The winner will then go on to represent the country at the international competition during the congress in Athens in March 2025 to compete for the David Campbell trophy!
