The ITT is gearing up for its 60th Anniversary Party on October 19 at The Dorchester on Park Lane, which will replace the usual annual ITT President’s Dinner.
The institute has promised to offer members a “night full of Hollywood glamour with a quintessentially British twist”.
The event will include a welcome reception, three-course dinner and entertainment from Britain’s Got Talent runners-up swing band Jack Pack, whose repertoire includes 1950s classics from the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior.
“In this, the organisation’s Diamond Jubilee year, ITT remains as committed to developing and maintaining high professional standards throughout the industry as it ever was,” said ITT chairman Steven Freudmann.
“The world has changed over the past 60 years, and ITT has had to move with the times to ensure it remains as relevant and important to the industry today as it was in its yesterdays.”
The celebration will also honour the winner of this year’s Odyssey Award Kuljinder Bahia, chief executive of Southall Travel.
In an interview with the institute’s newsletter, Bahia, who was appointed managing director of the company at the age of 24, said his proudest moment had been “surpassing the £500 million annual turnover figure from our initial £500,000 20 years ago.”
He added: “Although the number itself is a milestone, it’s more what it represents in establishing our team as one of the most significant travel providers in the market.”
Book ahead: Early bird tickets for the Anniversary Party are still available, priced at £199 plus VAT for members and £245 plus VAT for non-members.
