Switzerland has a long and distinguished reputation for the quality of its hotel and hospitality industry. This is why so many young people wanting to prepare for a career in that field come to Switzerland for formal studies.
The oldest Swiss hotel and hospitality school is the Swiss Hotel School – the EHL – near Lausanne. Back in 2010 a number of students there launched what they called the Young Hoteliers Summit, which brings together students and experienced professionals for several days of lectures and practical dialogue.
Normally, the YHS is an in-personal meeting, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s being held this year online between March 22nd and 25th.
