Is there a difference between Hospitality and Hotel Management courses ?



Many students and parents always ask me if there is any difference between the term Hospitality & Hotel Management as these are very confusing terminologies. The answer is yes. Understanding the basic difference is essential and important to choose the right course or profession. Primarily, both these terms are interrelated and forms part of the larger tourism industry. However, Hotel Management is more specific to the Management of a Hotel, Resort or Food & Beverage establishments .Hotels can be of different star category. There are five star deluxe hotels, four star, three star, two star and one star hotel in India as classified by The Hotel & Restaurant Approval & Classification Committee (HRACC. Hotel Management course focuses on operating and managing these establishments.


However, the career prospects does not limit only to hotels. As hotel industry is an integral part of the services sector, there are plenty of job opportunities awaiting for a hotel management graduate. 

In India, hospitality management is offered as  a 3 year degree programme after the class 12th with nomenclature such as BSc/BBA/BA in Hospitality Management.The 3 year programme is affiliated to an university and comes under the purview of University Grants Commission (UGC).The 3 year degree progamme does not come under the purview of  All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE).

Also,few universities offer 4 year degree programme in Hotel Management with the nomenclature of  BHMCT which stands for Bachelor's in Hotel Management and Catering Technology . The 4 year BHMCT programme has to be recognized by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) besides being affiliated to an university.

Hospitality Management curriculum also covers Hotel Management but the career scope is wider than Hotel Management. Hotel Management is more specific to Hotels where as  Hospitality Management opens up opportunity to the  Services Sector.  Generally Hospitality Management courses are of 3 year duration after 12 standard. Graduates of Hospitality Management can join hotels and other sector of services like the travel, tourism, airlines, retail stores,malls, super markets, multiplexes , food Courts, banking, facilities management, and so on.


The final choice is of the student. Whichever course the student chooses,he/she needs to work hard ,possess the right attitude and work with passion in order to excel in the chosen profession.

  19. Hotel Management and hospitality and hospitality education has received little scholarly attention because a) a lack of theoretical underpinning that would enable it to become a discipline; b) because of the difficulty of separating the transitory, utilitarian nature and link with physical work and "industry needs" from those of education in the discipline, "science, art, theory; c) because of the absence of postgraduate programmes in hotel management and hospitality.
