“The Prime Minister of India has declared tourism as the
priority sector. This decision will immediately increase the demand of hotels
and manpower to work in this industry. AAFT has decided to enter into another school
to cater to hospitality Industry,” said Sandeep Marwah President of AAFT.
The hospitality industry is a broad category of fields within the
service industry that includes lodging, event planning, theme parks,
transportation, cruise line, and additional fields within the tourism industry.
Hotel management includes Hotel &
Restaurant management, Hospital Administration and Catering, Hotel and Tourism
Associations, Airline Catering and Cabin Services, Club management, Guest
Houses amongst others. Expansion of global travel industry and aviation
industry is expected to boost hotel industry in next couple of years.
Hotel management like any other sector
is subject to the state of national economy and global economy. When the
economy is doing well jobs come a lot in the sector. Currently there are more
than 2.40 million people working in hotel, catering and allied industry in
India and the number is going to increase in next couple of years.
National Federation of Tourism And
Transport Cooperatives of India Limited powers the institute.
