The largest Skal club in Europe and the second largest in the world, Skal Cote D’Azur, is celebrating its 89th anniversary with the attendance of Skal International World President Burcin Turkkan.
As is their customary tradition they have organized a series of events surrounding this anniversary under the leadership of their dynamic president Nicolle Martin which include meetings with dignitaries, visit to local attractions and a gala celebration at the Bastide Cantemerle in Vence fit for the occasion.
In her speech, during the gala celebration, President Turkkan summed it very well by saying: “The number 89, which is your anniversary this year, carries the energetic attributes correlated with the numbers 8 and 9 and is associated with abundance, wealth achievements and prosperity. A fitting match to your clubs’ goals and achievements of exponential membership growth over the past years.”
“The fact that your membership has grown during the most difficult time in our history, has shown our global community that anything can be achieved no matter what challenges we face,” said Turkkan during her address to the attendees at the evening event.
We congratulate Skal International Cote D’Azur on this memorable occasion and celebrate with them this important milestone in Skal history.
Skal International strongly advocates for safe global tourism, focused on its benefits— “happiness, good health, friendship, and long life.” Since its inception in 1934, Skal International has been the leading organization of tourism professionals worldwide, promoting global tourism through friendship, uniting all travel and tourism industry sectors.
Skal International huet am Joer 1932 ugefaang mat der Grënnung vum éischte Club vu Paräis, gefördert duerch d'Frëndschaft, déi tëscht enger Grupp vu Paräisser Reesagenten entstinn, déi vu verschiddenen Transportfirmen op d'Presentatioun vun engem neie Fliger invitéiert waren fir den Amsterdam-Kopenhagen-Malmo Fluch. .
Motivéiert duerch hir Erfahrung an déi gutt international Frëndschaften, déi op dësen Reesen entstane sinn, huet e grousse Grupp vu Professionneller, ënnert der Leedung vum Jules Mohr, Florimond Volckaert, Hugo Krafft, Pierre Soulié a Georges Ithier, de 16. Dezember 1932 zu Paräis de Skal Club gegrënnt.
Am 1934 gouf Skal International als déi eenzeg professionell Organisatioun gegrënnt, déi global Tourismus a Frëndschaft fördert, an all Secteuren vun der Tourismusindustrie verbënnt.
