The future of the hospitality industry will likely be shaped by technology and sustainability.

Hard work yields rewards, especially in an industry witnessing constant growth and a persistent demand for highly skilled and experienced hospitality professionals.

We in our Institute are also trying to build a work culture for our students, where we invite the industry for weekend jobs for our students. This initiative called "Weekend Skilling" was well received this year and 70 of our students were selected.

For aspiring culinary students embarking on this delectable journey, my advice is straightforward yet profound: embrace the virtues of patience and continuous learning.

I advocate for the formalization of overtime compensation. This would not only reward employees for their additional efforts but also hold managers accountable for extending work hours unnecessarily. In the long term, this could lead to reduced attrition rates, increased employee motivation, and ultimately, an enhanced guest experience

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do. You need to be patient. Slowly and steadily the whole thing will be built.

A lot of negative messaging has gone into the market about the hospitality industry and hospitality career. Hotels have to change their working environment that has usually been portrayed to be taxing and demanding throughout the year. The concepts of work-life balance, competitive pay package and defined work hours would definitely help the industry in attracting and eventually retaining the talented workforce.

I had conducted one survey among the Hospitality Management students in Bangalore, to identify the student’s perception on their industrial training. It was a shocking result for us that 48.34 % of students had opined that their training was only in banquets and they were not able to learn anything other than shifting of tables and other fixtures from one place to another and very long working hours.

This year I complete 20 years as a Dean of Hotel Management. My journey has been a testimony of my resilience, adaptability and love for the hospitality industry.

The industry needs to now understand the changing needs of the new generation; Hotels have to change the internal working environment that has usually been projected to be stressful and is treated as an excuse for harsh communication and limited respect.

The hospitality industry is highly customer-focused, and success often lies in providing exceptional service and creating memorable experiences. By embodying these qualities and continuously striving for excellence, you can position yourself for success in this dynamic industry

Knowledge, good communication skills, and a hunger to learn are what one needs to succeed in this industry. 

Since Hospitality is a people-oriented industry one needs to work with and through people-Mr.Gladvin Rego
