Welcome to the World's Fastest Growing Industry

When you enter the world of hospitality, you enter a world of opportunity. It is a premiere career path for both new students and post-graduate students alike. Hospitality is driven by business travel and tourism, and it represents an important part of the global economy.

Current figures estimate 200 million employees worldwide--600,000 of these are employed at the senior managerial level.*

As a result, there is a shortage—and therefore, a demand—for talented, qualified and competent professionals within the industry.

The World Travel and Tourism Council projects that between now and 2013, the hotel and tourism industry will generate 250 million jobs—consisting of approximately 10% of total world employment.
