\nIt gives me immense pleasure to introduce to you The Institute of Vocational (Tourism) Studies of H.P. University Shimla. We are a pioneer Institute in the country to offer courses in Tourism and Hospitality Management. The courses offered are, Master in Tourism and Travel Management, Five Year Integrated Course in Tourism and Travel Management, Bachelor in Hotel Management and PhD in Tourism. The very fact that the Institute is providing tourism courses in the cosmopolitan tourist town of Shimla, whose economy, culture and society is based on international & domestic tourism since the British Raj, makes these courses sought after and highly popular. I am sure that professionals produced by our Institute are an asset to all tourism organizations in the country. We welcome prospective students and we also invite organizations for on-the-campus interviews for recruiting our professionals. I wish all Tourism and Hospitality students grand success and a bright prosperous future.<\/p>\n
