As the hospitality industry is expanding globally and is poised to become the largest industry in the next 10 years, the demand for hotels would increase and, therefore, the demand for skilled hospitality professionals will increase exponentially with every passing year. Supplying the industry with high-caliber specialists will become a top-priority.

Based on our market research and in the 7 years of our operations we have observed that in the GCC, there are Universities conducting a 4-year degree programs in Hospitality and Tourism at a high rate which can cater to only a limited crowd or there are Government Sponsored institutes like the one in Oman which is 95% funded by the Government or there are a range of general training institutes conducting customer service programs, IATA programs and other short term programs. Therefore we have embarked on a mission to establish BIHM as an Institute which offers programs ranging from entry-level to Higher Degree-level based on the market requirements.

This would include all the programs related to Hospitality, Travel and Tourism combined into one and create a niche market which has not be tapped by any other training organization. Most importantly, it has also been observed that none of the existing institutes have any strong strategic tie-up with any employers for placement of its students. On the contrary, our strategy is totally dependent on getting placements for all our students, irrespective of nationalities, with prospective employers. These employers consist of international chains that have vast presence in this region for hotels, fast-food outlets or retail malls.
