Navi Mumbai, May26 : ITM Institute of Hotel Management has announced admissions for its 2026-29 batch, introducing three globally focused hospitality programs designed to prepare students for international careers through immersive industry exposure and paid internships. With hospitality emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing sectors, employing over 300 million people globally, ITM IHM aims to bridge academic learning with real-world professional experience from the early stages of education.
The institute offers BBA in Global Hospitality Management, BBA in International Hospitality & Tourism Management, and BA in International Culinary Arts, each tailored to distinct career aspirations within the global hospitality ecosystem. A key highlight of the programs is the emphasis on international exposure, including paid internships, study abroad opportunities, and industry-integrated training modules. Students pursuing the BBA in Global Hospitality Management will undertake a paid one-year international internship at luxury hospitality properties worldwide.
The BBA in International Hospitality & Tourism Management provides pathways into tourism, aviation, and destination management, along with final-year study abroad options at Queen Margaret University, University College Birmingham, and HTMi Switzerland.
Meanwhile, the BA in International Culinary Arts equips aspiring chefs with expertise in global cuisines and includes mandatory paid internships and extensive on-the-job training.
ITM IHM students have secured placements at globally renowned properties such as Grand Hyatt Washington D.C., Ritz Carlton Dove Mountain, JW Marriott Auckland, Jumeirah Al Naseem Dubai, Sofitel Bahrain Thalassa Sea & Spa, and Shangri-La. The institute also offers 100% placement assistance through partnerships with leading hospitality brands including Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt, Four Seasons, Accor, and IHG.
With over 20 years of excellence, ITM Institute of Hotel Management has built a strong global placement network, with alumni working across the USA, UAE, Europe, Mauritius, France, Kuwait, Bahrain, and New Zealand.
Students benefit from international certifications, language training, internships, industrial visits, and advanced training labs that provide practical industry exposure.
Global academic collaborations with Queen Margaret University, University College Birmingham, and HTMi Switzerland further enhance international learning opportunities and global career readiness.
“The hospitality professionals being recruited most aggressively today are not the ones with the best grades,” said Dr. Purva Tawde, Dean & Director, ITM Institute of Hotel Management. “They are the ones who have already proven themselves in global environments. Our programs are built around that reality. By the time our students graduate, they have worked in international properties, earned global certifications, and developed the cross-cultural confidence that only comes from real experience. We are not preparing them for the industry. We are putting them inside it.”
