Clebhard Pinto - The Le Meridien Mina Seyahi's first Clef D’Or member
Congratulations to Clebhard Pinto, Assistant Head Concierge, who has become the first Mina associate to be awarded the prestigious Clefs D’Or by Les Union Internationale Des Concierge d’Hotels Clefs d’Or (U.I.CH.) of Paris.
“It’s a big achievement for me” said Clebhard, “I get to know more about Dubai and have a chance to participate in exclusive D.T.C.M (Dept of Tourism and Commerce Marketing) events and am better able to assist our guests” One event Clebhard is looking forward to immensely is attending the 2008’s annual Clefs D’Or congress in Denmark.
The Clef’s D’Or was established in 1929 and is awarded only to those candidates who follow the guiding principles of the organization: discretion, politeness, optimism, psychology, rigor and courtesy, and who have worked as a concierge for five years. In addition to displaying these principles, Clebhard had to pass a rigorous three month selection process. Clebhard now joins a select group of less than three thousand Clefs D’Or members worldwide.
