Skål International began in 1934 with the founding of the first Club of Paris, prompted by the friendship arising between a group of Parisian Travel Agents who were invited by several transport companies to the presentation of a new aircraft destined for the Amsterdam-Copenhagen-Malmo flight
Inspired by their enriching experiences & the strong international friendships that formed during their travels, a group of professionals led by Jules Mohr, Florimond Volckaert, Hugo Krafft, Pierre Soulié, & Georges Ithier, came together on December 16th, 1932, to establish the Skål Club in Paris. The first Skål Club was officially founded, in Paris, on 20 December 1932 in the Ambassadeur
The idea of International friendship grew, and by early 1934, there were already 12 Clubs formed in five countries. It was then that the idea arose to create a partnership, that brings together all the Clubs, with the aim of fostering goodwill and friendship in the Travel & Transport sectors around the world
The ‘Association Internationale des Skål Clubs’ (AISC) was established on April 28th, 1934 at the Hotel Scribe in Paris, in a General Assembly, who together elected Executive Committee, under chairmanship of Florimond Volckaert
