Honoured. The Hall of Leaders is the premier recognition program in the meetings, conventions, exhibitions, hospitality and travel industry, offering a lifetime achievement award that recognizes outstanding leaders without whom the industry would not be what it is today.  Each carefully selected inductee has made significant contributions to advance the meetings and events industry in meaningful ways.

“Being inducted into the Hall of Leaders is a truly humbling experience as there is such an amazing group of individuals who have been recognized in our industry,” said Dominguez. “I feel a great responsibility to continue to contribute my time and efforts into making the industry even stronger and making decisions that work towards a greater good. With many different challenges facing some of the cities we drive business to, I see great potential for the meetings and events industry to tackle some of these challenges by coming together and moving the needle.”

Michael’s deep understanding of the travel industry and how MICE business affects the economy has allowed him to become an effective leader and educator. He makes decisions that are backed by real data, which  overall enhances business. In his role as president and CEO, Michael oversees all business operations for ALHI, a global sales organization that represents an exclusive collection of more than 250 of the world’s most prestigious hotels and resorts, cruise ships and destination management companies (DMCs) in the meetings, incentives, conventions and exhibitions space.

Michael will be officially inducted into the Hall of Leaders during an awards ceremony on September 10 in Las Vegas.
