Hospitality is hot! Welcome to the world of first class hotels and restaurants with star status, as well as festivals, concerts and sports events. HEM: the classic higher hotel management course in combination with event management.

Hotel and Event management something for you?

If you wish to become a manager of a large hotel abroad or an organizer of events or congresses, then the HEM course is the first step. In order to turn a stay or an event into a success, you must be able to put yourself in the position of the guest. After all, hospitality is all about creating an experience. In addition, high demands are placed on your managerial and organisational abilities. You need to have professional knowledge, insight and a good feeling for business. Have you got what it takes?

Hotel and event industry

Leisure time, from an overnight hotel stay to a visit to a pop festival, is big business. On an annual basis, Dutch people visit a total of about 30 million events, and the Netherlands ranks thirteenth in the world for organizing congresses. We spend as much as a quarter of our real disposable income on leisure activities. The city of Amsterdam alone estimates 2.4 million extra overnight hotel stays for the coming years. The leisure industry is therefore a industry with potential!
