Forecasting
The ability to forecast is integral for effective hospitality management. This discipline includes budgeting, staffing and scheduling, inventory management, demand forecasting, and financial proformas.

Revenue Management
Revenue management involves the prediction of consumer behaviour, as well as the optimisation of product availability. It also requires that you keep fully up-to-date with current prices in order to maximise revenue growth.

E-commerce
In terms of hospitality management, e-commerce goes beyond just buying and selling hospitality services online. It also includes the entire online process of developing, marketing, selling, delivering, servicing and paying for hotel services.

In line with GGSB's objectives of offering students a career-focused innovative education, when you study the undergraduate three/four year BIB + Certificate in Hotel Management programme, you will be able to devote minimum of six weeks to a full-time work placement, where you'll gain valuable hands-on skills that will help you to attract recognition from international employers when you graduate. This programme also offers you the chance to complete a full one year placement with the organisations of your choice, including Grand City Hotels and Resorts in Germany.
