A slew of steps to shore up quality in hospitality sector
The HinduThe scarcity of trained manpower which is the bane of the hospitality and tourism sector is set to be addressed by the government through a slew of institutions – the first of which is set to come up in Mysuru. Hence, as a first step in enhancing skill levels, there are plans to expand the Food Crafts Institute in Mysuru to a full-fledged institution offering a three-year degree in hotel management. “The proposed Institute of Hotel Management in Mysuru will be the first of its kind in the State to be floated by the Tourism Department though there are similar institutions in the private domain. At present, the FCI, located at the Exhibition Grounds in Mysuru offers hands-on training in food and beverage production, housekeeping, front office management, etc., crucial for tourism and hospitality. Nagapathi, a tourism expert, said the prospects of the hospitality sector is dovetailed with the growth of tourism and the State government’s move to establish such training institutes augurs well for the sector.
