COMBINED world hospitality enterprises account for nine per cent of world GDP, or approximately 260 million jobs. Accessing a tourism and hospitality career path has generally been an easy one due to the high staff demand around the globe. This situation remains and staff shortages in these industries remain a major headache for this industry sector. This is bad news for employers, but good news for hospitality graduates.
New international hotels, resorts, spas and themed restaurants continue to open regardless of world economical health, offering a wealth of employment opportunities. However the real demands in developing economies are for lead personnel with high executive skills, knowledge based systems, chain hotel relationships and an expanding capacity to manage large staff numbers on the upward end of service delivery. Having a good command of the English language will be advantageous. With the rise of China’s inbound and outbound tourism, opportunities abound for those who are proficient in both English and Mandarin.
Malaysia has some of the best private colleges and universities for hotel management & tourism courses. Students can get excellent training from these institutions at an affordable price. However, it is important to choose the right university in Malaysia with the necessary experience and facilities.

Increase in Demand Worldwide and in Malaysia for Hospitality Management & Hotel Management Professionals
Austin Ang, KDU University College Penang
That demand can be further quantified. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council, there’s no end in sight. Experts predict that the travel and tourism industry’s contribution to GDP will increase by 4% every year for the time being. That equates 69 million new jobs created over the next decade.
Such demand will also place pressure on education institutions where a tightening of resources post-GFC has seen the sector now faced with widening and greatly emphasised demands.
A strong and healthy educational environment now exists between private and government-led learning institutions, and the diversity of career pathways has drawn more intensification of their strategies to meet existing demand. Of note is the evolution of five and a half star and six star resorts and hotels which demand special levels of management to oversee higher level services. More of these new-styled tourist investments will be erected in developing and tiger-economies with expanding domestic middle class needs.
Hospitality graduates in Malaysia are well placed to have their skills and experience recognised

intercontinentally. Remember that the general manager role is not the only destination career in hospitality, and that most enterprises seek high level employment in public relations, sales and marketing, financial and profitability control, property engineering, and soon social media.
So in choosing the best tourism and hospitality school in Malaysia that fits you, take careful consideration of the speciality streams which are offered, and make comparison with existing competitor organisations with equivalent international standings. It is important to choose colleges or universities with experience and ample facilities to train you so that you can succeed in your future career.
There is a wide range of food and beverage director salary packages available from the basic US$50k in standard hotels through to US$200k for an experienced hospitality strategist in a leading consulting firm. Of greater importance to graduates who wish to travel, your experience and status is portable from country to country, particularly if you have mastered a second or third language apart from English or are employed by global hotel chains.
