Welcome, on behalf of our faculty and myself to the Department of Tourism and Hotel Management

The vision of The Department of Tourism and Hotel Management is “to be the world leader in tourism & hospitality education producing managerial leaders with global competencies, dynamism, and value-laden personalities”.

In order to fulfil industry needs and requirements for specialized managerial skills/ competencies, the DTHM has been continuously working to induce a more practical, social and industry oriented curriculum that brings the students back to the roots of Indian hospitality management systems yet prepares them for  a global tourism and hospitality career. The DTHM strives to inculcate a mind-set lag of critical thinking and problem solving by hosting a series of seminars, workshops, expert talks, summer internships, field destination(s) exposer and industrial visits with the view of providing experiential learning through simulated or real tourism and hospitality business environment.

And if there is any assistance that you might need, may it be personal or professional, I shall always be willing to hear from you.
