With utmost consideration of our experience in the first few years, we gathered Imolities on our second year of existance at Benchmark Hotels on 26th June 2017 in a celebrative mood, not because we have achieved our aim in the publication industry. No we haven\’t , we have evaluated our perfromance and challenges so far and will still confess that what you have read and seen before you is not the best of us, so we are not celebrating success, but rather our struggle and courage to forge on no matter how daunting the task is.
