In the hotel industry there will always be the age old question asked of experience versus education when it comes to top management. While a degree can be valuable, in my opinion, it's not the number of years of experience that determines one's ability to become a hotel manager. It will the combination of passion, dedication, and a knack for handling the chaos that comes with the hospitality industry. Some might argue that you need a lifetime of experience to navigate the unpredictable world of hotels, while others believe a few solid years in the field can do the trick. Ultimately, it's about proving your worth to whomever your owners are, learning from the challenges, and continuously improving your skills. So, instead of focusing on the years, focus on gaining practical experience, building relationships, and showcasing your leadership qualities. That will be what that will truly set you apart as a hotel manager.
