Swiss Difference

Switzerland, the pioneer country in hotel management education and training has more than a century of history in preparing world leaders for the hotel business. Although the tourism industry from the late 19th century through the years during and after World War Two was not active on a large scale, being available only for the rich and wealthy, today it has become the largest economic factor in the world.

The Difference ? The Swiss hotel schools became famous due to the mixture of practical and theoretical education and training, through their dedication to professionalism and discipline in a multicultural environment. Joining a Swiss hotel school, means joining something like the United Nations of hoteliers. Most of the schools have a large variety of nationalities and races among their student bodies. The Faculty are well-experienced international hotel professionals as well as highly distinguished professors from business and general

education fields. Technical installations for practical training are ‘five star’ quality and IT and theory classrooms meet world-class standards. Students cannot graduate from the Swiss schools without having completed some practical work experience in a hotel or restaurant. These practical training periods vary from 6 months to one year and usually take place in the Swiss hospitality industry.

This is not the case with hotel management schools in other countries in the world. Often hospitality management degrees are offered at the larger universities. These programs generally lack the professional component and practical training. In other countries one can find excellent hotel schools preparing students to become chefs, headwaiters and rooms division managers. Those schools lack the management and academic side.
