General Moeen's article
General Moeen U Ahmed in his write-up "Aspiration in the Bangla New Year" has focused on some vital issues for the development of Bangladesh. Among those, I would like to share my views on Hotel Management which is a new but a prospective subject for studying, especially at a higher level. Working in hotels is not merely cooking or serving foods, it is now called "Hospitality Industry". This industry is also expanding day by day and Bangladesh has a bright future undoubtedly in this area.
After getting GPA 5 in HSC, my eldest son got himself admitted to a private university in B.A. in Tourism & Hotel Management which I feel is a brilliant and courageous decision.
Hotel Radisson is going to build a training centre in near future. There are many training centres in our country which have been imparting short-term training. But I think we need more long-term education on this subject. Short-term trainings produce lower or middle level personnel having practical skills only but Bachelor or Masters level education will produce top-level personnel having both practical and managerial level knowledge & skills. It is good news that finally Dhaka University has opened this course which is a right and praiseworthy decision.
Our top hotels can easily impart higher education on this subject where students can gain theoretical knowledge and learn practical aspects of hotel management as well. The authorities of Radisson, Sonargaon, Sheraton and other star hotels are requested to consider my proposal.
