Swiss touch to hospitality

Apart from the issue of career optimisation, studying at a Swiss hospitality institute offers students many other advantages. Switzerland is reputably one of the safest, cleanest, most efficiently-run countries in the world, ranking among Europe’s highest in the OECD’s Better Life Index.

Famous for its historical cities and monuments (Switzerland has 11 classified UNESCO world heritage sites), and stunning scenery, as much as its fine wine and dining culture, Switzerland offers students an incredibly rich lifestyle that creates memories for a lifetime. Those Swiss schools that are based up in the Alps offer a unique experience of winter and summer sports on the doorstep. Students will find themselves becoming experts at golf and skiing in addition to hospitality. The Greek word for the hospitality concept is xenia. It means ‘guest-friendship’ and herein lies perhaps one of the most valuable outcomes of pursuing hospitality education in Switzerland. The friendships made here – because of the cultural diversity, because of level of practical group tasks – last a lifetime. And in a world where who you know is as important as what you know, the importance of this factor cannot be underestimated.
