A BSc in Hospitality Management opens up avenues in the service industry in hotels, resorts, airlines, cruise lines, and event management. The starting salary is usually employer, location, and job dependent. Fresh graduates in India would typically take home between ₹2.5 to ₹5 LPA, though the better-paying hospitality chains may be available for top hospitality chains. International opportunities are much more lucrative, with Middle East, Europe, and US salaries being $25,000 to $45,000 per annum.
Salaries will vary according to specialization, internship experience, and skills. Lower packages are often offered in entry-level positions such as Front Office Associate, Food & Beverage Executive, and Guest Relations Officer. Managerial trainee programs in five-star hotels can be a good source of competitive salaries. With experience and industry certifications, professionals can jump into high-paying roles like Hotel Manager or Operations Head. Entrepreneurship in hospitality, such as opening a restaurant or event planning business, also offers lucrative potential for growth and earnings.
