With a lot of hotels opening up in the country, India is being touted as the next destination for the hospitality industry. According to figures from the World Travel and Tourism Council, by 2019, there would be 275 million jobs pertaining to the hospitality industry. “Though there are still opportunities in the west, a lot of jobs will be generated in countries which include Brazil, Russia, India and China. The present and future of the hospitality industry is in these countries,” Mr. Mazurczak points out. 
At present, in India, there are about 90,000 hotel rooms and given to the new hotels coming up, these numbers are bound to increase. “The figures could go up to over 2.40 lakh hotel rooms in India, which would also mean a lot of opportunity for hotel management graduates,” he says. With the spurt of entertainment companies and hotels, India has become a sought after destination for students not only from India, but also countries such as Brazil, China and Russia. “Owing to the boom in the industry here, many people are looking at India for jobs. An interesting trend that we noticed in the past few years is that a lot of foreign students come to India to intern because of the innumerable opportunities and diverse cultures across the country,” Mr. Mazurczak adds.
