PRESS NOTE: Book Release

“The opening of Heritage Institute of Hotel & Tourism at Shimla is a welcome venture for the residents of Himachal Pradesh because the Himachal youth now need not to go out of the state to get professional education” – This is the feeling of the state Chief Minister Mr. Veer Bhadra Singh on the occasion of the release of the book “ECONOMICS IN HOTEL AND HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT” authored by Mr. D K Singh, the director of Heritage Institute of Hotel & Tourism. The chief minister also pointed out that Hotel Management Education is the highly aspired career in present time as the Tourism Boom is on the rise and India has turned out to be the most sought out tourism destination. Till now, the Himachal youth had to move out to get professional education in Hospitality, with the opening of Heritage Institute, the students now have an opportunity to get this education within the state.

Mr. D K Singh, the director of Heritage Institute told that a lot of tourists are expected to visit India in the light of forthcoming common wealth games & cricket world cup. To accommodate this inflow of tourists, the corporate world has already started developing infrastructure, which will manage this show. The answer is the MANPOWER. There is going to be a big demand supply gap in this area. Heritage Institute is committed to fill in the gap and introduce the youth to this fast growing world of job opportunities. We are educating and developing the youth in all the major departments of Hospitality Industry. Besides our technical curriculum, we are grooming our students in other aspects of the Industry so that they are readily absorbed by the Industry. We try not to give knowledge only but we give culture too. We have state of art laboratories, cool and serene classrooms, large library and highly qualified faculty.

At the end, Mr. D K Singh, chairman of the Institute thanked the chief minister, guests and other dignitaries present on the occasion.
