Undergraduate / About my post study plan - Supplement for Glion Hospitality Management School [2]
Hi guys,
This essay is about my post study plan. Please comment or make improvement.
Thank you very much for your help!
After graduation from GIHE, I would like to return to Indonesia and work at an international hotel chain, such as at Four Seasons or Shangri-La. I believe that as a graduate of GIHE, I will be well equipped with the qualifications required to gain an upper management position at my target hotel. Gaining experience will be a very important aspect to be a successful hotelier. By working at my home country, l could get a better understanding of the local market structures and customers expectations. In the next five years after graduation, I expect to move up the ladder and become the General Manager of the hotel that I am going to work for.
My long-term goal is to build a luxury hotel chain in Indonesia that reflects Indonesians' identities and cultures. Indonesia offers a unique blend of traditional cultures, delicious cuisines, and exotic nature. The hospitality industry in Indonesia is thriving, with six millions foreign tourists per year on average. Besides, there is an increasing demand for short term lodging from domestic business travelers. So far, international hotel chains have been dominating the hotel industry in Indonesia. Indeed, there is no single local hotel chain that provides the service standard of a 5-star hotel and offers authentic Indonesian experience. Even though the international hotel chains could offer high service standard, but none of them could offer the experience of a genuine Indonesian culture. The foreign tourists will expect more than excellent service from the hotels they live at, they also wish to feel the local culture, especially for first time visitors. Most of the local business travelers are required to travel frequently from time to time. They need a hotel that could offer them a familiar surrounding, a place where they could call a "second home". This unsatisfied need calls my attention to establish a domestic hotel chain that could deliver both excellent customer service and original Indonesian culture.
With the hotel management skills and experiences that I will gain from GIHE and my future workplace, I am confident that I will be a successful hotelier and entrepreneur.
