Young Skål will give students and young professionals in the tourism industry, who are between the ages of 20 and 29, the opportunity to participate in the international network of Skål, which includes over 25,000 members in 500 cities and 80 countries.

James Sorrell, president of Skål International NY and senior vice president of New York TAB, urged NY Skål members to “invest in the future of the club and industry” by recruiting professionals for Young Skål.
