There is strong need for Internationalizing Hospitality Education anddeveloping itself in Global perspective with emphasizing on managerial education in the areas of subsidiary fields,entrepreneurship development and related areas of Hospitality sector.
Hospitality is an International Disciplineand a business having International flavor. Quality parameters are same across globe. Dynamic Hospitality Education in Global perspective has to be provided as one has to compete at the level of the International standards at every corner of the globe. Preferred accredited and recognized programmes are needed to be introduced in the Country with emphasis on providing cross cultural training. Academic mobility in the Hospitality programme will help in integration of the curriculum and programme across the Globe.
Efforts of some of the institution in this regard is praise worthy, but implementation methodology need to be more effective.
How well an Institute is connected with International equal with in the Industry will become much more important in decision of joining the programme in respective Institution.This is also important as the future development of Hospitality Education is going to be different from the past, as knowledge and expertise is becoming increasingly borderless.
It should just not be an education that is just fulfilling the requirement of manpower at lower level but it should cater to the different level and all allied areas and fields of Hospitality sector all across the globe.Institution should focus on education relevant to Global job environment, developing knowledge and skills of the students as per the International perspective.
Quality Institution across the Globe emphasize on development of quality manpower, as Productivity and Efficiency depends upon quality of people we have.While quality in all aspects of business is important, improving service quality is cheaper than improving product quality.To enhance the quality, competitiveness, prestige of the college beside providing global standard education through strategic alliance, International academic mobility favours well developed education systems and Institutions. .
Increasing global accredited programme having harmonized course structure with transferable credits for easy comparison with flexibility for collaborating and reciprocal recognition of qualification Internationally will be challenge.
The challenge will still remain in preparing the team to incorporate this new dimension for Internationalization. The current practice adopted as upgrading through travel trip is not very useful to train but to expose. Assigning evaluation grade to the institution and regular academic audit is going to be effective tool in insuring quality at the Institution.
Regulatory authorities and agencies should timely address this issue and formulate smooth policies towards Foreign Collaboration with Institution and Universities of repute so that Hospitality Education in India becomes more dynamic with touch of International Flavor and our Curriculum, faculty and linkages become more Global and International focused.
