What is your take on career growth in hotel industry as it is perceived to be stunted
Career growth in hotel/hospitality industry is very attainable. I believe the reason it's perceived to be stunted is because a lot of people in the industry are not professionals. A lot of people in the hotel industry didn't come in with hospitality background so they end up taking a lot of time to understand and master the industry allowing them to take longer time to grow in hierarchy as the job entails a lot of vast knowledge of the industry and hospitality at large
