11 member hotels of the IBHS recently took part in a table top setting competition in preparation for a Shanghai wide competition that will take place in June 2004. There were two sections to the competition, a Chinese table setting for 8 guests and a western table setting for 6 guests. 30 minutes were given to one hotel staff member for each table to be set up and this included arranging the flowers as well.

The photos taken at the event show the wide range of decoration used, from live fish to exquisite flower decorations. The Shanghai Municipal Tourism Commission will be organising the main competition and the IBHS team will be represented by 7 hotels.
