We are excited to announce that South Pacific Coffee Company (SPCC) is the proud Competition Partner for the HOTEC Tradeshow 2024, organised by the Fiji Hotel and Tourism Association (FHTA).
Our involvement with HOTEC highlights SPCC’s ongoing commitment to supporting the hospitality industry across Fiji and the Pacific. As a key partner in this year’s Barista Competition, we aim to foster the growth of barista talent by helping them develop the skills necessary to deliver world-class coffee experiences to both local and international audiences.
Michael Dennis, Director of SPCC, shared our enthusiasm for this exciting partnership, saying, “Being part of HOTEC 2024 allows us to contribute to the development of the region’s hospitality sector. Through the Barista Competition, we hope to empower baristas by providing them with valuable opportunities to refine their craft and showcase the exceptional coffee that the South Pacific is known for. We are looking forward to a dynamic competition and a fantastic event.”
The Barista Competition will kick off in late July, giving talented baristas from around the country a platform to compete, learn, and perfect their techniques, with the grand finals taking place at the HOTEC Tradeshow. As part of this partnership, SPCC will also engage in various activities throughout the event, sharing insights into coffee trends, new techniques, and innovations that are shaping the coffee industry.
We are proud to support the hospitality industry by contributing to these learning opportunities and improving the coffee culture at HOTEC 2024. Our goal is to encourage baristas, improve the standard of coffee, and ensure that attendees leave with a deeper appreciation for the role coffee plays in creating memorable hospitality experiences.
By working alongside FHTA, we are helping to build a strong platform for excellence and development in the hospitality industry. We look forward to a successful partnership that benefits not only participants but also the broader community.
