Raising the Academic Level in Hospitality Education
Carrying forward the swiss hospitality legacy, around 58 years ago, Walter Hunziker, Vice-President of the Swiss Tourism Federation and hotelier Frédéric Tissot opened the “Institut International de Glion” in the former Grand Hotel Bellevue in Glion. Later in 1995, Glion raised the academic level of the school by introducing the first Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality, in answer to the industry’s ever-growing need for highly qualified managers. Being responsive to industry needs ever since its opening Glion has cultivated academic expertise and industry relationships and set the highest standards for academic quality and hospitality excellence. Glion Institute of Higher Education is a private Swiss institution that offers Hospitality Business Bachelor’s or Master’s degrees with specializations in Luxury management, Event, or Finance to students from over 90 different countries across three campuses in Switzerland and London, UK. Together with Les Roches and Education Ducasse, Glion is part of Sommet Education, leading hospitality education groups worldwide. Since its foundation, Glion has been a by-word for excellence in hospitality business education and has been offering the students access to the expertise of its sister brand École Ducasse, a global leader in culinary arts education, since 2019.
