Message From Chairman
Tourism is the single largest industry of the world today in terms of employment and foreign exchange earnings. Tourism is an ever expanding industry and this trend will continue throughout the current century. Tourism is a fascinating and challenging profession of the 21st century. There is a great demand for skilled manpower for this sector at home and abroad. Our young, smart and energetic boys and girls can easily meet this ever growing challenge and demand of the local and foreign markets through development of professional skills in the different disciplines of hotel, tourism and hospitality industry. Keeping this in view, the Islamic University, Kushtia, Bangladesh has taken initiative to offer Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) under the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management. The programmer blends world-class art of hospitality and the age-old unique hospitality heritage of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has a need to produce the graduates that will drive us to a tourism based renaissance and deliver us to the Promised Land. With these stated missions and resolute goals, the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management has risen to the challenge of providing Bangladesh with the life blood /line for such a revolution. Our mission goal demands of us not just remain another participant in the sea of isolated initiatives for higher education in Bangladesh, but to also be a major player in the transmission and dissemination of knowledge, research and technology in Bangladesh based on tourism and hospitality management. Therefore, the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management provides high-quality education, equipping students with the acumen to address both local and global challenges.
As Chairman of this Department, I am deeply committed to attracting a body of faculty and students dedicated to academic excellence, top-notch research, pedagogical sophistication, and service to society. In our mission to contribute to national development, it stands tall as a center of excellence that is able to develop confident leaders, independent thinkers and creative entrepreneurs. We also focus on professional development of our students in order to equip them with the knowledge and skills necessary to play a leading role in different sectors of the economy and polity.
