Les Roches launches a new Master in International Hotel Management for all its campuses worldwide

Les Roches has introduced a new Master in International Hotel Management in response to the global demand for highly qualified hospitality leaders. The program ... will be introduced in all its international campuses in stages: in September 2025 in Abu Dhabi, and in March 2026 in Crans-Montana and Marbella, offering students the opportunity to experience some of the most dynamic luxury hospitality and tourism centers in the world.

This new degree, lasting one year full-time or 18 months part-time, is designed for university graduates and career changers seeking leadership, operational, and strategic experience to thrive in the constantly evolving hospitality sector. Combining the legacy of Swiss hospitality, experiential learning, and a global perspective, the program bridges academic rigor and industry demands, preparing students to become innovative leaders in luxury hospitality and tourism.

Demand in Hospitality

The launch of this program comes at a crucial time for the sector. According to the latest Economic Impact Report (EIR) from the World Travel and Tourism Council, the sector is expected to create nearly 126 million new jobs over the next decade. This accounts for one in three new jobs to be created in the sector, requiring between 300,000 and 400,000 new managers by 2030, with an annual increase of between 400 and 700 managerial positions.

"By aligning our curriculum with the needs of the sector, we aim to prepare graduates to seamlessly integrate into leadership positions, thus addressing the pressing talent shortage and contributing to the sustainable growth of the sector," stated Carlos Díez de la Lastra, CEO of Les Roches.

"Les Roches' commitment to academic excellence extends throughout its global network, bringing Swiss educational standards to diverse cultural and business environments. While deeply rooted in Swiss hospitality tradition, each campus integrates local experience and industry connections to offer a unique learning experience tailored to regional markets," he concluded.
