Message to students

The hotel accounting that I teach may be useful to some people as soon as they enter the workforce, and to others several years later, or even a decade later. Even if you don't join a hotel, your accounting knowledge will surely come in handy somewhere. I would be very happy if you could remember even a little of the lecture content at that time.

Thoughts on the future of the hotel and bridal industries

When choosing a career in the future, it is very important to consider whether that job will still be around in 10 or 20 years. With various technological advances, machines may take over jobs that exist today in 10 years. However, empathy is important in hotel and bridal work, so even if technology makes some parts more efficient, machines will not completely replace them. We will continue to support everyone who has chosen a job with such a future.
