Scope and Opportunity
Hospitality and Tourism is one of the most powerful and most often overlooked tools for promoting economic and social development, in rich and poor countries alike. Tourism supports 10% of all economic activity on the planet and 8% of all global employment. It is one the largest exports and sources of foreign exchange earnings in the United States and most of Western Europe, and is also the leading export in over half of Least Developed Countries (LDCs). This is true of no other industry. Tourism is unique in so many other ways. In most countries it also nurtures and develops unique attractions such as indigenous culture, sports, wildlife, and nature reserves . This presents incredible opportunities for tourism to contribute to both the economic development, and development of a person as a professional. One of the primary reasons the multibillion-dollar hospitality and tourism industry is so popular as a career choice and it offers opportunities across various types of businesses and organizations all around the world, including:

in the last weekI am currently a Certificate III Semester 2 in Patisserie student at Colombo Academy of Hospitality Management, and my experience here has been nothing short of amazing. The academy has played a significant role in my growth, providing not only high-quality training but also hands-on experience that has truly refined my skills. One of the best aspects of studying here is the opportunity to participate in special events, where we are called to assist. These experiences go beyond the classroom, giving us real-world exposure and preparing us for the industry. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and supportive, always encouraging us to push our boundaries and improve.

a week agoI had the pleasure of studying at the Colombo Academy of Hospitality Management (CAHM), which partners with William Angliss in Melbourne, Australia, and I can't recommend it enough! I successfully completed my Certificate III & IV in Commercial Cookery in 2021, and the experience was transformative. During my studies, I developed a deep passion for the Patisserie unit. Unfortunately, at the time, CAHM didn’t offer a Patisserie course, so I decided to continue my studies at the Culinary Arts Academy in Switzerland to further pursue my passion. When I visited CAHM’s newly built campus during a holiday in Sri Lanka, I was beyond impressed by the significant improvements to the facilities. The new campus is stunning, and it’s clear that CAHM has invested heavily in providing the best resources and infrastructure for its students. The current students are incredibly fortunate to have access to such world-class facilities. Overall, CAHM offers a top-notch education in hospitality management, and it’s an institution I highly recommend for anyone looking to build a career in the industry. With its strong partnerships and commitment to excellence, it truly stands out as a leader in hospitality education.
