How has the hospitality education scenario evolved in India?

With the widespread and fast-growing globalisation and surge of internet, the hospitality sector has emerged as the fastest-growing sector in the world. The world-class top Indian hotel chains and proliferation of renowned international hotel brands in the country have already infused dynamism into the industry and a demand for hospitality education. The world-class education and training from leading hospitality education institutes of the country is helping them to prove their mettle and find their place in the sun.

The contemporary hospitality industry scenario is buzzing and has become quite promising in terms of career prospects, progression and incentives. More interesting has been the revolutionary employee branding that has occurred, with the industry offering a lot more to aspirants apart from a glitzy career. Remuneration and working lifestyle have come on par with other leading sectors of industry, resulting in the successful wooing of passionate and professional talent.

No doubt, the advent and investment of international hotel brands in the Indian market has commenced the evolution of the hospitality industry as a potential and prudent employer. Today, for a hospitality professional, the whole Earth has become a playground. With the kind of quality hospitality education, leading Indian institutes are providing the professionals trained in India opportunities worldwide.

Through each year leading hospitality institutes witness an increase in the number of applicants vis-à-vis previous years. More often than not, it is the decline in the interest in traditional courses that account for students opting for hospitality as a career.
