The Cincinnati USA Institute for Hospitality Leadership is the brainchild of Cincinnati USA Convention & Visitors Bureau and its industry partners, the groups said Thursday. The creation of the institute was announced at a forum hosted as part of the tourism bureau’s multicultural initiative Vibe Cincinnati.
