KATHMANDU:Ritz Hospitality Management College (RHMC) has started

a Bachelor’s degree course in Hotel Management with orientation of the first batch of students.

The hospitality industry is one of the largest employers of human resources as well as one of the biggest industries in the country and makes major contribution to the gross national product (GDP).

The college aims to churn out competent students with developed intuition and deep insight to brace themselves for a rewarding career. It is affiliated to Pokhara University, providing timely and globally relevant education at an affordable and reasonable fee structure, focussing on theoretical and practical knowledge of national and international hospitality and tourism industry as well as administrative issues.

“I have particularly chosen this course because I have studied it at Plus Two level and it has generated keen interest in me as it deals with all kinds of people,” said Savina Sanyal, student at Ritz.

Ritz counsellor Surya Kiran Shrestha said, “The hospitality industry in Nepal is very important as we bank on tourism for our economy generation and right now there is a serious lack of human resources.” Hotel Himalaya general manager Adarsha Dhungel has assured that there will be job opportunities in his organisation for students graduating from Ritz.

“I am looking forward to studying at this prestigious organisation as my future will be secure, my main interest in this field was due to the personalities that are built and emerge from the hospitality background,” added Pavitra Shrestha, another student.

There are very few complete hospitality management colleges in the country

and Ritz is the leading and strong pioneering organisation in that sector.
