A top hotel chain in China plans to add a céad míle fáilte’ to its own five-star brand of oriental hospitality.

A small Irish college has been chosen to exclusively educate the hoteliers of tomorrow for the exotic tourist island where Prince William and Kate Middleton honeymooned last year.

THE internationally-acclaimed Shannon College of Hotel Management (SCHM) is to transfer from the ownership of Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) to become part of National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG).
