Michel Da Cruz Pinto

Where growth is a stimulus, thereof young blood is an ever-present necessity. Present-day hospitality demands thrift and energy to deliver guest satisfaction coupled with precision and excellence.
Armed with a passion for the profitable development of this industry, I am a young man who has progressed in this sector with obsessive haste, accumulating in an effervescent 7 years distinction in Travel and Tourism Management, Tour Operating and topping it all off with a Masters Degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management, specialised in Mozambique.
These in-depth studies with a Mozambican tourism industry focus propelled me into this field armed with an extra bat; knowledge of excellent product and service.
Having fallen in love at an early age, I dedicated all my free time and university holidays to learning more and more about the improvement of people services, mainly through the experience of working at various service outlets to bolster my confidence in best-quality service.
To note, I have held positions of responsibility at five-star hotels in Maputo, and currently lead a newly opened four star act in Inhambane, where the best is yet to come in tourism development.
From reception work to translating for political delegations; from beach motels to five-star conferencing, part-time to full-time, pay-rolled and self-employed and peaking with event management for foreign television channels, my all-round personality in the hospitality & tourism and events industries and service industry makes proficiency, reliability and consistency ALL part of an achievable package.
