1. COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course addresses all operating departments of a full-service hotel. While it is detailed in its coverage of the general manager’s responsibilities, it does not include “how-to” information about hotel departmental-specific tasks. Instead, it addresses hotel management from the general manager’s perspective. After the course, students should have the understanding of hotel industry, the guest service imperative, the hotel general manager, human resources, revenue management, some main functions in the hotel such as sales and marketing, front office, housekeeping, property operation and maintenance, personal safety and property security, and managing in the global hotel industry.
