Since then, the sector has shown an unbroken run of growth and the very concept of hospitality can be applied to nearly any company that deals with customer satisfaction and is focused on catering to meeting leisure needs of travellers rather than basic ones. The Hospitality & Tourism industry is rapidly expanding, & Techno India is one of Eastern India’s finest School of Hospitality dedicated to providing excellent all-round Hospitality education in this dynamic sector.
