Message from the CEO

September was of full of new projects at Thalias and we have plenty to share with you this month.

First, I am proud to announce that, after weeks of preparation, we officially inaugurated the Thalias Assessment Center for Food Production in Phnom Penh. Thanks to the creation of a partnership between Thalias Co Ltd, ASSIST Mekong and the National Committee for Tourism Professionals of the Ministry of Tourism, this new Center aims to create the context and structure for recognising and awarding professional certification for hospitality skills.

Following this same passion for food and cuisine, our team at Topaz has a very special gourmet offer for our guests this month; and Khéma's Chefs have developed a brand new menu featuring original dishes that you will be able to enjoy very soon at all Khéma outlets. This menu looks stunning and I heartily recommend a read below to see what lies in store.

Finally, I am pleased to announce that Ms. Sambo NOV, who is already part of the Thalias family, has been appointed as the new General Manager of Malis Phnom Penh restaurant. I'm wishing her lots of success and happiness in this new adventure!

Yours sincerely,
Arnaud DARC
CEO and Chairman Thalias Hospitality Group
