HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY AND CAREER PROSPECTS
The Hospitality Industry is growing at an increasing pace and
contributes a significant amount to the economy of India. This
dynamism is going to be on the rise for years to come and that
is why students are viewing this industry as placement oriented
sector. A degree in hotel management will be able to provide you
with lucrative career opportunities for a long time to come. There
is a lot of demand for professionals who are well qualified and thus
suited for this particular field.
The Hospitality Industry consulting firm predicts that by year 2014
the number of hotel beds will increase phenomenally all over the
world but move so in developing countries like India. Additionally,
it also says that the hospitality sector requires 40 to 50% more
professionals to bridge the present shortfall. Therefore, students
can be assured of employment opportunities in Indian as well
as international hotels. International hotel chains like Hilton, Best
Western, Carlson and Le Meridian are building new and modern 5
to 7 star hotels in cities of India. In the competitive market, all big
hotel chains are also paying good money for retaining well groomed
professionals. In fact since the last 3 years, the salaries have also
increased by 43%. Hospitality students can, thus, look at a bright
future with more employment opportunities and better salary.
Starting a career in the sector, a Bachelors degree holder will be at
first working as a management trainee.
