Steinmetz said: “I am humbled and surprised to have received this recognition from SKAL International. SKAL is about friendship and this is the essence of the travel and tourism industry. I am proud I have been a member of SKAL. My membership in my native Duesseldorf Club is so important to me and keeps this much-needed connection between my wonderful home for 32 years, Honolulu, Hawaii, and Duesseldorf, Germany, the city I love, I grew up in and I will always also call home. This membership in SKAL Duesseldorf keeps this connection alive. SKAL is a global movement, and I am so happy to be part of it.”
