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, a regular event 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 was held this year online between March 22nd and 25th.
