Advanced Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management

DH Institute’s Advanced Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management programme prepares students to embark confidently in the booming global hospitality industry.

The industry is strongly supported by the development of Integrated Resorts (IRs) in the region, the tourism boom spurred by rising middle-class affluence in Asia, and an increase in business and medical travelers globally.

Students going through the programme will attain the required knowledge and practical skills to develop the ability to identify and analyze business problems and formulate operational and tactical plans to respond effectively to the rapid changes in the business environment of the hospitality and tourism industry.

Lessons are conducted through a combination of classroom learning and on-the-job training; the programme seeks to maximise learning by utilising hands-on discovery and discussion presentations, which allow room for creative thinking and problem-solving.

Students will graduate with cutting edge knowledge of the best industry practices, as well as a service innovation mindset, adding further value to their future employability.

Student will appreciate the fact that this programme extends from earlier foundation set at diploma level. The “Sustainable Tourism Planning and Development” module in this programme expands from concepts in the “Travel, Tourism and Hospitality” module at diploma level.

Also, students who have gained operational knowledge of Food & Beverage and Hotel Operations at the diploma level will now tackle management concepts in “Food & Beverage Management” and “Hotel Operations Management” modules respectively
