Hospitality & Hotel Management
Graduates of most third-level hospitality or hotel management courses are usually entitled to membership of the Irish Hospitality Institute (IHI) and the Hotel and Catering International Management Association (HCIMA). People with third-level qualifications in the hospitality sector generally work as hotel managers, but there are also plenty of opportunities in other sections of the hospitality and tourism industries, including restaurants, adventure centres, tourist agencies and corporate hospitality.Hotels often like their executives to have experience in the nitty-gritty side of running a hotel, so graduates often gain experience in each element of the hospitality business before becoming senior managers. Salaries vary depending on your duties and the size of the hotel, but in general you should start out on upwards of €20,000 as an assistant manager in a particular department. The general manager of a large hotel can expect to earn between €43,000 and €57,000.
Job Roles in this area include the following:
Hotel Manager
Restaurant Manager
Accommodation Manager
Front Office Manager
