Reflection

I believe that hospitality sector offer a good growth opportunity.  Langford (2020) stated that  hospitality industry has become the epitome of success.  As at the global level there are 187,000 hotels.  The data shared by Brandongaille highlighted that in every 2.5 seconds new job is added in the hospitality sector.  I would like to say that I opted to develop my career in this sector because of skills and my interest and because of exposure and career opportunities this sector provides. Some of factors that influenced me to take further steps in this sector included creative, excited and unique openings. As in this sector creativity can help to grow in the career and I am more kind of creative person and look for using my creativity skills (Langford, 2020).  With that, hospitality sector offer many different jobs such as chefs, event planner, supervisor, sommelier and so many. I think these reasons are not even enough as this industry has lot more to offer. But in order to excel in this field, I would like to share that the institution plays a significant role.  That is why I selected the Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School.  As this institution gives a simulated hotel environment in which it become easy to learn hotel industry norms and services.  Further, I am also interested in food and beverage area as food connects me to different culture and people. As I believe that food reflects cultural aspects of any country. So career in hospitality give me chance to explore different culture that I actually want to know.
