Hospitality Jobs
 The
word hospitality covers hotels, restaurants, industrial or organized
catering for offices, hospitals, educational institutions, private
homes, defense services, railways, cruise ships and flight catering.
Indian hospitality managers have built a reputations and are being hired
by international hotel chains and cruise liners in big numbers.
The past few years has seen an exodus of hospitality professionals to
areas like IT-enabled services, insurance, banking and healthcare, as
also to travel, airlines, training, consulting and leisure. These
fast-growing sectors are luring hospitality managers by more than
doubling salaries and the demand-supply gap is such that junior
executives can make that leap to middle management and then on to senior
management at a much younger age than before.

International Prospects for Hospitality Managers
There is a high demand of Indian hotel managers and staff in the
international industry. This is particularly so in the Middle East, in
cities like Dubai. One reason is that the local population of trained
manpower is very limited and there are practically no institutions
offering professional training, in these countries. The manpower
shortage is also being felt in developed countries in Europe (including
the UK), the USA, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong etc. They all prefer
Indian managers because of their high educational level, quality of
education standards followed by Hospitality Management Schools of India
and the experience which they gain by working in Indian. It is estimated
that International employers recruit about 20% of Indian management
graduates every year.
Job opportunities in other service sectors and multinational
companies
According to the new trend, which has been observed in the last few
years, Indian managers are hired all across the globe, in large numbers
in other service sectors like banks, airlines, multiplexes, shopping
malls, cruise ships etc. A number of International companies are now
coming to Indian management institutions for placement in a routine
manner. Apart from the new graduates, there is also a high demand for
those who have worked in hotels and restaurants, particularly in areas
dealing with customers, like front office and F&B service. A number
of hospitality managers with a good record have been joining banks,
airlines, call centers etc.
