Here’s a look at the obstacles that the hospitality sector faces and how the industry can overcome them…
According to a market Pulse Report published by Ministry of Tourism, currently, there are more than 1,20,000 hotel rooms in India, both in the organized and unorganized sectors. By 2020, there will be additional 1,00,000 rooms. There are around 90,000 people working in various functional areas of the hotel industry and will require an additional one million professionals by the year 2023.
The study of current training infrastructure in the hospitality sector reveals that around 25,000 students are being trained at hospitality education institutes (of which only 60 percent join the industry and 40 percent change the career choice, which leads to further widening of the gap between the supply of the trained manpower and the demand of the industry).
Hospitality and tourism sectors are therefore facing an acute shortage of skilled manpower currently, as there are many obstacles as far as development of human resources in hospitality and tourism industry is concerned.
