A career in hospitality can open up so many doors for those who are passionate in pursuing their professions in hotels, cruises, restaurants and bars, or catering business. Thanks to its tradition of catering for wealthy tourists, Switzerland has remained the centre of academic excellence, competitiveness and innovation in the sector for over the past 150 years. The Swiss have been highly acknowledged in bringing many skills and quality traits into the hospitality industry, including the attention to detail, professionalism, timely service and precision. When the luxury hospitality business was booming back in the day, those in the hotel and restaurant industries were seeking education from the Swiss hospitality model.
A unique trait of Swiss hospitality educational model is experiential learning, students joining the Swiss hospitality education institutions acquire these skills through practical modules not only in the institutions’ classroom or lab, but they also have to get hands-on experience in the actual hospitality fields, which include hotel and business management, F&B and catering etc.

Being regarded as the first and best hospitality management school in the world by various rankings, including QS World University ranking for Hospitality & Leisure Management Universities, EHL has created and inspired a high-quality professional community of hospitality managers around the world.
What makes EHL unique is that the university prepares students to take on management and strategic roles in the hotel and travel industries as well as global careers in luxury, finance, retail, and all other sectors where the customer relationship is the key.
“EHL has genuine, historical proximity to the tourism and hotel industry. This unique relationship differentiates us and strengthens our work with academic institutions and organisations worldwide. Through our EHL Advisory Services company, we can provide learning centers with access to a range of hospitality knowledge and concrete industry experience, built on the success of our Schools in Switzerland for over 125 years.” said Olivier Roux – Senior Managing Director at EHL Advisory Services.
