STUDY AT CÉSAR RITZ With Ben Thanh Tourist

César Ritz College offers the best in advanced studies in the fields of tourism and hospitality

Vietnam’s economy is continuingly growing, and along with it is the growing demand for learning at famous academic institutions abroad. However, not all can afford to attend these schools. Now Ben Thanh Tourist, one of the most experienced and prestigious company in Vietnam, is offering a solution — a financial plan for the college of César Ritz, which is one of the Switzerland’s three best schools in hospitality and tourism administration.
César Ritz College is one of the first universities to receive the prestigious TedQual certification by the World Tourism Organization, along with other renowned institutes in America, Europe, Asia and Africa. TedQual stands for Tourism Education Quality, a methodology aimed at improving the quality of education, training and research specialized in tourism and hospitality in order to meet administrative and industrial needs. It is developed by the World Tourism Organization, a part of the United Nations’ systems in Madrid, Spain, which specializes in building tourism infrastructure.
César Ritz College offers training for bachelor of arts and MBA in international business with specialization in tourism administration and hospitality, as well as several short-term courses. After finalizing each seminar, whether it is six months, one year or two years, students are issued certificates for completion and receive the appropriate degrees. The classes offered are focused on assimilating students from the safe academic settings with the modern working environments, providing them with opportunities to put theories into practice and target individual fields of weaknesses.
In addition, César Ritz College is highly appreciated for commitments to introduce students into prestigious tourism and hospitality corporations worldwide. The network includes Ritz-Carlton, Intercontinental, Holiday Inn, Hyatt, Sheraton, Marriott, Hilton, Accor, Four Points and more.
Ben Thanh Tourist’s collaboration with César Ritz College will gap the demand for study abroad and greatly contribute to Vietnamese growing need for human resources. For more information, contact Ben Thanh Tourist’s studying abroad consulting department.
