A multi-billion dollar global industry, hospitality comprises a range of diverse offerings—including hotels and resorts, food services, clubs, casinos, events and meetings, as well as aspects of healthcare, transportation, and residential development. The field has an optimistic growth outlook, a large population of professionals, and a relatively high demand for degrees.
A blend of product- and service-based offerings, hospitality presents unique challenges for organizations big and small. For large companies, the scope and complexity of their operations require professionals to create effective and sustainable strategies to market and manage diverse services and products. Smaller hospitality companies and entrepreneurs, on the other hand, must cope with high consumer expectations and build brand recognition while still overseeing day-to-day planning and operations.
Employees working in the hospitality industry must be savvy, service-oriented professionals as well as expert operations managers. Given the global nature of the industry, it’s also critical that today’s hospitality professionals possess a holistic understanding of how their brand interfaces with the global marketplace.
