Hotelschool The Hague was founded and funded in 1929 by the hospitality industry to create a hub where industry partners could gain and share new insights, skills and knowledge. Since then, it has become a professional operation with a solid international reputation in hospitality management. Though Hotelschool The Hague has expanded considerably over the years, it has always remained true to its original mandate with a clear commitment to hospitality and a strong connection with the industry.
The ‘core business’ of the hotel school has also stayed the same: a hub where students can develop, conduct research and share their hospitality knowledge and skills in a realistic setting and hone their leadership talent for a successful career in the industry. Hotelschool The Hague has several programmes on offer, including a four-year bachelor of arts in hospitality management, a fast-track bachelor programme and a 13-month master of business administration in international hospitality management. Also, we recently launched a new master degree in Leading Hotel Transformation.
The Hospitality Research Centre (HTHRC) is a founding member of ATHENA, and is the research unit of Hotelschool The Hague. It aims to provide relevant and timely insights to hospitality professionals and students. The Research Centre has published studies about topics such as hospitable behavior, revenue management, Airbnb and ‘sharing’, overtourism, sustainable consumer behavior and circularity in hotels, the design of hospitality education and the application of hospitality principles in other sectors. Its researchers do independent academic research, applied projects for businesses and they frequently speak at international academic and professional conferences.
