AEHT

Behind every great trip, there's someone who made a traveller feel at home.

On World Tourism Day, we celebrate the students across Europe learning to be those people — at the front desk, in the kitchen, in the dining room, and out in their cities.

What's the one place in your region every visitor should see? Tell us below — we're building a list of Europe's best-kept secrets, recommended by the people who live there.

One network, dozens of languages — and one word we all say every day: welcome.

Today is the European Day of Languages, and hospitality speaks all of them. In our member schools, students learn to greet guests in their own language and in many others.

👇 How do you say "welcome" where your school is? Write it in the comments — let's see how many languages we can collect in one post.

Weldra is er de jaarlijkse Europese AEHT-wedstrijd, de grootste competitie in Europa tussen hotelscholen. Dit jaar in Ferrara in Italië. Voor onze school gaan de leerlingen Maune, Maury, Joul en Liam. Ze zitten momenteel in volle voorbereiding. Veel succes. Jullie gaan dat goed doen! AEHT Erasmus+

Dear AEHT Family,
Our good friend, reporter and photographer, Jo Laengy, passed away. For many years, Jo followed all the AEHT events, wrote multiple reports and took thousands of pictures for the AEHT.
We keep Jo in our memory as a close friend, a humorous man, and a quiet supporter of the AEHT.
Thousands of pictures he took during the events are his heritage to the AEHT, and we will keep them in honour.
Thank you, Jo, for everything you have done for the European network.
Rest in peace!

🎉 Congratulations to the newly elected 2026 Youth Student President from Malta, Matteo Bugelli!

As you step into this important role, a new chapter begins — filled with responsibility, opportunity, and the chance to be the voice of AEHT youth for the coming year.

We wish you the very best of luck in this journey!

Congratulate Matteo!🥳🥳🥳🥳
