Tech adoption faster now: ISH CEO
Hospitality education is undergoing transformation as COVID-19 has necessitated a blend of contactless technologies with personalised service. In an interview, , founder & CEO, Indian School of Hospitality (ISH) and former MD of Starwood Hotels & Resorts South Asia, said the impact of COVID-19 on the sector is waning. Excerpts: It was clearly impacted. Two groups of students — 2020 and 2021 batches — were majorly impacted from job point of view in the hospitality sector. I want to emphasise hospitality of hotels because evenpre-COVID, fewer students studying hospitality were looking to join the mainstream hotel industry. Over the last 8 to 10 years, other sectors such as luxury retail, luxury real estate, QSR and restaurant business have been growing and many of these sectors do hire students from hospitality schools. Therefore, the impact of the hotel industry not hiring for two years has been questioned by the fact that there are many other sectors which are thriving.More Related News
