Glion Institute of Higher Education interim CEO Michael Huckaby said: “We have many students from the Middle East region studying at Glion in Switzerland. With increased investment in the hospitality sector by regional governments, we see a strong potential for students from the Middle East to benefit from a professional program at Glion.”

“Figures from the Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, for example, show that the city has 599 hotels and 80,500 hotel rooms; and the government hopes to double the number of rooms by 2020. A career in hospitality is the step in the right direction for many ambitious students in this scenario,” added Huckaby.
48% of all Glion’s bachelor students enter into a selective management track which is designed to prepare them for a variety of career options.
According to the school’s data, 13.6% of graduates in the management program hold positions in sales or marketing while 11.4% choose the room division. Other graduates are currently working in the restaurant business or in the areas of human resources, finance, or events management.
