B.C. has always been a hotspot for tourism and hospitality, and with the huge success of the 2010 Winter Games, the hospitality industry in Vancouver and throughout the province is expected to continue to remain strong. According to the Canadian Tourism Commission, total tourism spending for the first quarter of 2010 climbed to 4%, with accommodation, food and beverage services seeing a bump of 5% in total revenue. In the next 4 years, at least 6 new hotels will be built in downtown Vancouver, creating 5,000 new job opportunities. Plus, Air Canada has signed a new aviation contract between Asian countries that has experts forecasting an increase of 500,000 visitors to Vancouver each year for the next decade. That means excellent job opportunities for new professionals entering the hospitality industry.

I believe the staff and faculty make the difference at Eton College. Each member, from reception to the principal, I found to be both personable and approachable. The academic skills I have obtained from my experiences at Eton College have helped immeasurably, in both the tasks of looking for and acquiring a good job in today's market. I would strongly recommend the Hospitality Management course at Eton College to anyone wanting to move ahead in the hospitality industry.”
