Do you have good communication skills, and like connecting with people? Can you be flexible with your working hours?  Do you like dealing with food, and like organizing activities?
Ever imagined yourself directing social events on a cruise? Or how about owning and managing your own luxurious chain of hotels and resorts nationally or internationally? Or running an ultra-modern club or spa?
Then the glamorous world of hospitality awaits you in today's global hospitality industry. A career in this field could be personally fulfilling and professionally stimulating!  Sounds exciting! Doesn't it? In fact, what does a waiter serving you a delicious sizzler, the concierge at your resort and a tour guide have in common? Basically, they all work in the hospitality industry in some way or the other.
That's how varied careers in hospitality management are. The diversity of experience in hotel management is greater than in any other profession, involving a combination of various skills like management, food and beverage service, housekeeping, front office operation, sales and marketing, accounting.
More  and more people are travelling on work and pleasure  than ever before with hotels and resorts pampering them with not only comfortable rooms, and fabulous meals but also a host of luxuries and services, whether it be massages and personal valets, exotic meals and drinks, complementary business services,  and other freebies. So if you are looking for a job that seems to be like a permanent vacation, then it has to be hotel management.  Of course, it is not you who is on vacation, but the guest to whom you provide these services. The students opting for a career in hotel management must have an affinity towards socializing and understanding the needs of the people. As hotels fall under the service industry, the motive of hotel management courses in India is to prepare the students to face the challenges of this competitive world. It prepares students to work at hotels, resorts, cruise liners, in aviation and casinos and other service organisations.
