Having a solid understanding of business concepts & principles, tourism strategy and laws & ethics is vital, but one can’t learn everything about the hospitality industry in a classroom. In this labor-intensive sector, practical training is as important as theoretical knowledge which gives students an opportunity to apply what they have learned into practice and develop personal skills & abilities. Alongside, the hand-on experience develops learners’ analytical thinking and organizational & managerial spirit to conquer tomorrow’s hospitality challenges, thereby making them industry ready professionals.

Endowing students a rich practical learning experience of national as well as international hospitality management since 2004, Suryadatta College of Hospitality Management & Travel Tourism (SCHMTT) offers a multicultural environment of world-class hospitality education and international training.
