The department fosters future-oriented and global leaders who have a clear acknowledgement about the industry’s status and role as a key strategic engine for future economic growth, which is achieved by understanding global cultural trends, consumer behavior, and advanced management philosophies. 


The Department of Hotel and Tourism is comprised of three major fields, which include Hotel Management, Tourism Administration, and Event & Convention Management. The field of Hotel Management takes a strategic approach in order to conduct research on luxury lodging operations, and it further examines revenue management and frontline service excellence from traditional foundations to modern digital adaptations.

The underlying goal is to cultivate professional managers who can plan and execute world-class hospitality experiences that fit international standards.
