From Hospitality to Healthcare

What motivated you to study hospitality management?

When the time came to choose my field of studies, I was certain that later in my professional life, I would not want to work in a technocratic environment.

After some research on different hospitality schools, I decided on joining Hotel Institute Montreux and I never regretted it Being surrounded by so many peers from across the globe, all in a very productive and professional learning environment helped me a lot to not just develop professionally but also personally.

I have always enjoyed being around people and therefore I felt like the hospitality industry might offer me just that.

Apart from all the business courses taken during my tenure in Montreux, I learned so much about different cultures and habits. Sharing classrooms with students from all over the world helps you broaden your horizons in many ways. You also need to step up your time management game, especially during your BBA term, when deadlines and projects seem to be ramping up with no end in sight. Another benefit of studying hospitality management is that it helps you present yourself as a confident professional with good soft skills.
