Accommodation Management- Short Course

Sneak Peek

Understand the varied aspects of accommodation management with this 20 hour course.

The role of the accommodation sector stems from a long history of development in the field of hospitality provision. In many countries, hotels (as one example from the accommodation sector) have evolved as extensions of domestic hospitality. Today, there is no defined hotel. Hotels range from small sized boutique hotels of fewer than 20 rooms to magnificent towering buildings catering to thousands of guests at any one time. The scope of the industry is also enormous. When we consider consumer trends and global markets, we know that in the hotel industry, net revenue is in the region of $570bn USD annually and is expected to continue to grow beyond this.
