The tourism sector has become for decades one of the key areas for the social and economic development of our country and our region. Within them, the hotel sector, a cornerstone of tourism, is the one which has experienced stronger growth in recent years. Immersed in an environment that is becoming unstable at high speed and in which uncertainty is high, the life cycle of products is becoming shorter and the client shows higher levels of demand. The sector continuously demands professionals trained to operate in a constantly evolving market, able to adopt modern management styles in more complex organizations with a growing trend towards concentration.
On the other hand, the spectacular development that gastronomy and cuisine-related activities have experienced in recent decades, has highlighted its importance at all levels, including in the social and economic fields.
