Greater Toronto Hotel Association Wins Public Relations Award at International Conference

TORONTO, ON – June 25, 2025 – The Greater Toronto Hotel Association (GTHA) is proud to announce it has received the Public Relations Award at the International Society of Hotel Associations Conference, held this year in Newport, Rhode Island. The award recognizes excellence in communication and community engagement, and was given in honour of GTHA’s landmark campaign, “Faces of Hospitality.”

Launched to commemorate the Association’s 100-year anniversary, Faces of Hospitality celebrates the people who are the foundation of Toronto’s vibrant hotel industry. Through storytelling and visual profiles, the campaign shines a spotlight on the diverse individuals whose passion, dedication, and service define hospitality in the Greater Toronto Area.

“GTHA wouldn’t exist without the people in our industry,” said Sara Anghel, President & CEO of the GTHA. “This campaign was about recognizing them—sharing their stories, their journeys, and their invaluable contributions to our community. We are deeply honoured to see that work recognized on an international stage.”

This recognition reinforces the importance of storytelling and human connection in building a stronger, more inclusive hospitality industry—one that values the individuals who bring it to life every day.
