The global hospitality and tourism sector is thriving rapidly. According to research, In 2024, the hotel and resort industry alone was valued at approximately US $1.7 trillion, reflecting nearly 7% growth from the prior year. Beyond global scale, in 2023 Kenya’s travel and tourism sector contributed roughly Ksh1 trillion to the national economy, supporting approximately 1.55 million jobs across the country. These trends aren’t just numbers on a report: they show that opportunities in the hospitality sector are real, growing, and evolving.
This week, Zetech University Hospitality and Tourism Management students attended the End-of Year Symposium on the Sustainable Travel and Tourism Agenda (Young Change Makers Edition), recognised by #UNESCO and hosted at the Boma International Hospitality College. At this forum, the University was acknowledged for its sustained commitment to sustainability practices and community-service engagement. As part of the academic activities, the students also participated in the 2025 Getaway Tourism Fair at Sarit Centre, further strengthening engagement with industry stakeholders.
These public showcases are progressively becoming strategic avenues for integrating academic learning with the dynamic developments shaping the sector. Current global and regional data consistently point to an increasing demand for competent hospitality professionals.
In response, Zetech University continues to position itself as a centre of academic excellence, deliberately equipping students with the skills, competencies, and professional attributes required to thrive within today’s evolving tourism and hospitality environment. With hotel immersions at established Resorts such as Villa Rosa Kempinski and The Boma Hotel, Zetech University continues to bridge learning with real-world hospitality excellence.
