The first thing that comes to our minds when we hear Tourism and Hospitality is ‘people’. As the name of the degree suggests, it is all about customer service. Tourism and Hospitality degrees prepare candidates to work in diverse working environments all over the world.
Even so, many people confuse Tourism and Hospitality degrees with Tourism degrees. What is the difference between these two? The main difference lies in where the employees work. With a Tourism degree, you can work in a museum, national park and so on, whilst with a Tourism and Hospitality degree you will work in hotels, restaurants.
This degree is shaped in such a way that candidates acquire skills about hotel management, food preparation and sanitation as well as human resources.
Experts say that it only takes six months for Tourism and Hospitality graduates to find a job. The most frequent areas which display the highest number of job opportunities are catering management and hotel management. As a result of their flexible degree, 15% of the graduates choose to combine work with study to broaden their employability chances.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, this field will have an addition of 700 jobs, both in management positions and others.
Perhaps the most important benefit is represented by the growth opportunities. This degree will teach you about networking and developing your emotional intelligence, which are of utmost importance in this field.
This degree lasts for three years, out of which one year should be spent abroad. Usually, in the second year of their studies, students go abroad and study in a partner country. The whole idea behind this is to encourage cultural awareness and adaptation.
Additionally, some universities in the UK provide a compulsory internship during which students gather relevant industry experience.
I have been working in the Management & strategy consulting industry for the last 8 years with a focus on the Food & Beverages industries at the national and international levels. In my day-to-day work, I need to assess clients’ problems and challenges with an objective, pragmatic, and fact-based approach. From my point, of San Telmo uses the same methodology to analyze the main trends, challenges and opportunities that shape the present and future of the Food & Beverages sector at the international level. Furthermore, the case study methodology employed plus the participation of top executives and business leaders provides an immersive and enriching experience that has helped me to better tackle my client’s needs. I strongly recommend Infood San Telmo’s Business School program.

Second, the teachers were very experienced and they explained the cases the perfect way. Also, I could meet different interesting people from other countries. Finally, thanks to Infood 2019 I have a global visión of the food industry. I´m able to make better decisions. I highly recommend Infood san Telmo business school! Regards.
View moreI participated in the programme during November and December 2020 which had to be fully online organised. This was not an obstacle for participation or interaction. Overall it has been a very enriching experience. I would highlight the topics that were treated, as they were focusing on innovation, encouraging us to have a different perspective on our sector and to think out of the box. Besides this, we had the chance to meet and discuss with top-level speakers which was really interesting and motivating.
View moreThe experience was really enriching. I am currently working in the commercial department of CAPSA FOOD. Being able to step out of my daily work, open my eyes and see the challenges faced by other companies has allowed me to face my own issues from a different perspective.
The profile of the other students allowed me to learn and deepen my knowledge of the sector, learn about their experiences and how they have faced difficulties and business challenges.
The method is extremely practical and the teachers are excellent, with a wide experience in the business, so that the study is enjoyable and even allows us to have a really good time during the lessons.
