[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Students who study International Management in Hotel and Tourism are associated with modern skills and work through a series of collaborations with top international hotels and professional tourist associations which the Aspira University of Applied Sciences is currently cooperating with and will cooperate in the future. In this way, students receive feedback on all modern trends in the profession first-hand. Students acquire basic theoretical, methodological and applicative knowledge in the area of hotel, catering and tourism, economics, law, information technology, communication sciences and foreign languages. They master the theoretical and practical aspects of education as well as the required traits, and acquire professional competence necessary to work in hotel and tourism.<\/p>\n

During the three years of study, students have 640 hours of professional practice, and the last semester of the study is dedicated to acquiring concrete practical experience.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t

Education and training is treated as a key resource for modern business, and hence development. Therefore, an adequate education of staff in international hotel and tourism would contribute to the competitive advantage of a particular community, increased productivity and market value. The aim should be to improve qualitatively, through the acquired knowledge and skills, the tourism product, which is based on the comparative advantages of a particular local community and affirm culture, tradition and lifestyle of a particular area.<\/span><\/p>\n

Professional practice has also been implemented in the development of the thesis and thus the student has the opportunity to contribute to the development of quality in the institution where the practice has been done.<\/span><\/p>\n
