Whether you’re just starting out in the hospitality industry, are looking for a career change, or just want to learn more, now is as good a time as any to grow what you know. In this guide, we explain what hospitality management is, its scope, why should you study here at The British College etc for you to choose a career in hospitality and pursue your dreams.

 

What is Hospitality Business Management?

 

Hospitality Management is the field of management of businesses in the hospitality sector. Professionals in this field create and run many aspects of the guest experience. They also often manage teams that include front desk staff, housekeeping, and sales. Great hospitality managers care about how much their customers enjoy their experience and are looking for new ways to improve every aspect of a visit whenever possible. 

 

People in hospitality management need to be diverse in the way they approach situations since they are dealing with the public and unpredictable people. Sympathy & Empathy for customers’ & employees needs and situations is an essential skill to have when managing a hospitality establishment. So as you can see, each business type has its own unique needs and customer archetypes. Of course, it’s good to have an idea of which one you’d like to specialize in before you start applying for hospitality manager jobs. 

 

BSc (Hons) Hospitality Business Management (BHM) programme is designed to engage, enable, and challenge our students to become creative, entrepreneurial, and critically informed dynamic graduates who can excel in their chosen field of work or progress to further study within hospitality business management. Central to our course is the strong links between theory and practice, with carefully designed authentic assessments, and student‐tutor interaction at the heart of the student experience.

 

Hospitality Management vs Hotel Management

 

The hospitality and hotel industry are major sectors of the travel and tourism domain. Courses related to these industries have become increasingly popular and this can be attributed to the fact that the travel and tourism industry contributed 10.4% to the global GDP. However, these hospitality management courses are often confused with hotel management courses. Many usually consider both the same. But are they? Can they be used interchangeably? Turns out it isn’t so. 

Though both hotel management and hospitality management deal with the service sector, they are quite different from each other. Hospitality management covers everything from lodging to entertainment to retail. But, as the name implies, hotel management is typically limited to hotels. The biggest difference is scope. However, that's not to say that there aren't still a wide variety of hotel property types, brand styles, and opportunities within the field.

The primary responsibilities, with hotel management, is ensuring guests enjoy a pleasant stay at their establishment. It involves taking care of them from the moment they check-in to the moment they check-out. Every single activity of the guest has to be outstanding to ensure their visit is worth their money. Departments such as the front desk, travel desk, housekeeping, concierge, room service, guest service, etc. are all the responsibilities of a hotel manager. Similar to hotel management, hospitality management also includes taking care of guests, albeit in a different setting. For example, hospitality managers in large organizations are responsible for meeting and greeting foreign delegates and ensuring they have everything they need for a successful visit.

Hotel management is largely an operations-oriented subject. Hotel managers mostly ensure each department in the hotel runs like a well-oiled machine. A hotel management degree, thus, provides intense training on how to manage these departments. Hospitality management is about people management. The aim is to make sure guests are comfortable and satisfied with their experience at the event, venue, hotel, etc. A good hospitality manager is one who takes customer/client experiences to the next level. It’s only when there’s tourism that hotels have a reason to function, isn’t it? Nepal, being one of the premier tourist destinations, enjoys a healthy influx of tourists every year. This allows the hotel industry to thrive and flourish. The hotel industry is, therefore, heavily dependent on the tourism industry.

 

Due to the very fact that hospitality management is all about people, it is independent of any particular industry. Many IT companies, MNCs, and organizations from a wide variety of industries employ hospitality management professionals to coordinate events, meetings, and guest relations. As you can see, hotel management is restricted to managing the operations of lodging or food and beverage establishment whereas hospitality management includes and extends above and beyond these sectors. This makes hospitality a highly sought-after degree as it offers employment opportunities in a wide array of industries.

Why Choose TBC?

 

The British College offers an excellent Hospitality Management program that covers the essentials of hospitality and related sectors ensuring students are well-equipped to confidently face the challenges of the hospitality industry. The teaching methods used throughout the course are diverse and include lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, practicals, and fieldwork. This variety of teaching methods will enhance student achievement, satisfaction, and employability.

 

A safe learning environment is provided throughout the course. Students will be encouraged to experiment in their learning and ‘take risks’, while extensive support is being given by module leaders, tutors, and personal tutors, to ensure a safe environment for creative freedom - a practice especially encouraged in semester one of level 4.

 

For example, in the Professional and Academic Success modules - at both Level 4 and 5, the students will be required to choose a research method and will be responsible for justifying this choice. However, module tutors will ensure this choice is relevant and valid to protect the student whilst taking this “risk”. At Level 6, the Hospitality Consultancy Ventures module carries a degree of risk in the choice of project and client. However, tutors will intervene if necessary, although at this level it is expected to be less frequent. This level of protection and intervention will provide a safe and secure learning environment, whilst ensuring that students are participating in challenging and authentic learning tasks.

 

As students’ progress through the course, they will be encouraged to become increasingly independent learners and thinkers, and the learning environment will become increasingly challenging as they move from level 4 to level 6.

 

The course is vertically and horizontally integrated and students will build on knowledge, skills, and abilities from level 4, and throughout level 5, to achieve the course learning outcomes at level 6. The learning and teaching activities throughout the course will enable students to succeed at every level and will produce capable level 6 undergraduates who can then become successful hospitality business managers in an increasingly complex, globalised world.
