The final of the competition will take place in Paris at the end of June and will be attended by Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO of AccorHotels Group.

What are the benefits for students?

With 250,000 employees in its hotels around the world and more than 3,000 job and internship offers available each day at accorhotels.jobs, the Group is now an employer of choice in its industry. Through Take Off!, AccorHotels wishes to involve future leaders in a comprehensive review of its business, that of enhanced hospitality. Since the first competition was held in 2012, almost 2,500 students from 30 countries have participated in the challenge. Many of them have since joined AccorHotels teams both in its hotels and at the Group’s headquarters.

Innovating to meet new needs and expectations

Always keen to offer its guests unique experiences and special moments, AccorHotels has already tested a new pop-up mobile concept during several cultural and sporting events last summer.
