About

After liberalization, the hotel industry has seen an upward swing. Both inbound and outbound tourism have increased significantly leading to a growth in the hotel industry also. You would not become a cook or a waiter after a hotel management degree as a number of people might want you to believe; you would be getting managerial or a semi-managerial job.
