Kuwait Housekeeping Olympics a roaring success

Last year the Kuwait Housekeepers Group organised an inaugural Housekeeping Olympics and after the overwhelming response from sponsors and housekeeping staff in 2011 the Group decided to make this an annual event. The second Housekeeping Olympics was held last month and again the housekeeper fraternity of Kuwait responded with such immense enthusiasm it was noted among all circles in the hospitality sector.

The sponsors were more then generous and after advertising the prizes to be won, teams were formed and colleagues started to practice and train for the events.

The teams were very competitive and all were keen to win the fabulous prizes, but in the end it was a way to push housekeeping and housekeepers at the fore and celebrate their achievements and importance in the industry.

Spectators were also keen to participate, the winners were celebrating and the losing teams were already planning how they could win next year.

Keep an eye on the Kuwait Housekeepers Group calendar and mark in your diary for 2013.
