Welcome to SHML and to the World of Hotel Operations and Management,

We believe you might have given a careful thought about the meaning of hospitality business, which is the fastest growing service industry in the world. Hospitality implies interacting with people, communicating in different languages and travelling the world, thus combining the excitement of exploring different countries, their regions and cultures for rewarding professional management opportunities.

Although success may depend upon unpredictable variables i.e. converting aspirations with reality, it may be wise to think about what it takes to progress toward success. At the pinnacle of General Management success, one soon discovers that the realities of responsibilities include the pain of dealing with the complexities within the hospitality industry. At this level one has to perform and deliver to the satisfaction of property owners, the operating brand, guests, employees, and the local community.

To claim technical competence in Hotel Management a career plan implies, among other things, the acquisition of competence within core disciplines that characterize hospitality organizations, which include Sales & Marketing, Accounting and Finance, Human Resources, Rooms Division and Food & Beverage.

SHML offers a boutique educational concept, implying professional competence and personalized attention to students within a commercially operating application hotel. With this approach toward hospitality learning, students will soon understand the reasons why our college simulates international hospitality standards of practice
