IN THE SERVICE OF WORLD HOSPITALITY

The American Hospitality Institute, Incorporated (AHI) was established in 1991 as a United States professional organization dedicated to the national and international hospitality development, corporate management, culinary arts, and training hospitality career professional and apprentices.  In 1999, the institute was incorporated and registered as an American non-profit organization. AHI   is currently   branching out to various centers in the United States and abroad, and is in the process of creating headquarters in Vienna, Berlin, Dublin and Eastern Europe in collaboration with ABBA international social services and educational committee of WACJ Fund  originated by Dr. Esther Cohen-Hamilton, Dr. Erica Soderholm and Dr. Giselle Muller-Anderson in Berlin, Dr. Gisele von Guntunbergersen in Vienna and Mrs. Solange Berthier in Paris. The institute's major activities are centralized in Europe via its bureaus in Rome and Verona in Italy and the Middle East in Cairo and Alexandria, in Egypt.

The AHI concept was originally created by Dr. John Chen, a noted scholar while he was serving at the White House as a Member of the White House Convention-Committee on Library Science and Information Service under the administration of President Carter. It was a concept back then. In 1991, the spirit of AHI came to life. Around 1994, AHI knew an international expansion thanks to the splendid leadership of AHI new Chairman, his excellency Senator Jean-Robert Sabalat, former secretary of state (Foreign Minister) of Haiti while he was in exile in Washington, DC, USA. Today, thanks to honorable efforts of several dedicated hospitality leaders, scholars and researchers in various  countries, Dr. Chen's remarkable concept materialized. Under the leadership of our CEO and President, Dr. Maximillien de Lafayette, an international authority on hospitality, food and beverage,  AHI reached a higher level of excellence in operations, management, potentials development, learning and training.

 The Institute provides numerous services to its members, publishes and distributes books, conducts and gathers research, statistics and data on world hospitality and food services,
