Hello Lavania-ga:

First, I was deep into researching this question for you before I read
your critical comments about me at:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=317494

Had I known your displeasure with my earlier work, I would have
relinquished my lock on this question. I do hope you find my research
on this matter satisfactory.

I can tell you that it became very clear during my research that
on-the-job experience is a huge plus in this career field. I think
your best bet is to start your career right after completing your BA,
and try to take classes toward your master's --even if it means you
can only attend school part-time, thus lengthening the time it will
take to complete an advanced
degree. Or, choose a master's program that offers a stipend or paying
internship (I have listed several schools that provide that option).
But  getting real-life work experience under your belt is the best
next step for you to take.

Judging by most of the listings that I saw for entry-level jobs, a
candidate who has a bachelor's degree in hotel management AND actual
working experience working in the industry is, overall, far more
appealing to most employers, than is an applicant who has a master's
degree in hotel management -- but little or no actual work experience
in hospitality.

Still, there's no question but that a master's degree, combined with
work experience, will get you to the very top a lot faster. The more
fluent you are in more languages, the better you'll do in this
increasingly global industry. Also, possessing the advanced skills in
finance -- and corporate savvy -- that a master's degree can provide,
will make you a very compelling candidate for the fast-track to the
executive suite.

If you're thinking of getting your master's in the U.S., remember that
in order to attend any U.S. college, you must pass the TOEFL (Test of
English as a Foreign Language) exam:
http://www.ets.org/toefl/

I have also provided you with directories of international schools
that offer advanced degrees in hotel management, along with
information on scholarship, grant, internship, and stipend programs.

And, I've included a roundup section on visas. Your student visa for
England should be applicable anywhere in the EU. (See more information
on visas at the end of my answer.) Also, most job listings in the
hospitality business -- since it is such an international business --
note work visa/residency requirements for each job listed.

***
Advantages of Having An Advanced Degree:

The University of New Orleans says it does make a difference:
http://www.uno.edu/~hrt/masters1.htm
This degree along with your work experience will give you an advantage
as you progress to higher levels in your career. You will be exposed
to advanced business concepts, and acquire skills that will have
practical applications in the workplace.  Your personal development
will be enhanced through interactive learning and you will have
opportunities to share your experiences with people from a variety of
backgrounds."

Learn about the University's Kabacoff school of Hotel, Restaurant and
Tourism Administration:
http://www.uno.edu/~hrt/uno.htm

The International Hotel School:
http://www.jwu.edu/sas/catalog/0304/pdf/ri/inhtelmgmt.pdf
agrees that work abroad, combined with advanced language skills
obtained while achieving a post-graduate degree, will improve your
jobs chances in the international hospitality arena.

The International Hotel School is located in South Africa:
http://www.hotelschool.co.za/ 

The University of Nevada at Las Vegas also believes that a master's,
combined with an MBA (Master's Business Administration), will lead you
to top administrative jobs. It offers a "dual" MS/MBA program. Read
about the program here:
http://www.unlv.edu/Tourism/MBAMS

The application for international students is:
https://ecoms.nevada.edu/app/appinstintl.htm

And UNLV's page for scholarships and grants for international students:
http://www.unlv.edu/Other_Programs/International/subdocs/isg.html

(I have provided you with information on more schools, below.)

***
Scope of Opportunities Available/ Job & Salary Forecasts:

The breadth of available jobs in the hospitality industry is nothing
short of astounding and, as you know, a career in this field can
provide you with the opportunity live and work in virtually any
country on earth. Jobs are available at hotels, motels, cruise lines,
ski resorts, mountain resorts, spas, and casinos.

For a good idea of the potential career paths -- and salary -- your
impending degree will bring you, see these articles:

In North America: 

"Introduction to Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management," from the
College of Human Development at the University of Wisconsin-Stout:
http://www.uwstout.edu/programs/bshrtm/intro.html
"The average starting salary of the 2000?01 graduate was $29,000. As
you advance within a hospitality and tourism company, your salary will
increase depending on the level of responsibility. Many of our
graduates have become general and executive directors of large
corporations and are managing millions of dollars."

iseek.com's Career Guide "Hotel and Motel Managers":
http://www.iseek.org/sv/13000.jsp?id=100102 

William Patterson University (Wayne, NJ) reports
http://www.wpunj.edu/career/CINFO.HTM

"Occupation:Hotel/Motel Manager 
Education - HS (high school)
Starting Salary - $20,000 
Average Salary - $48,000-58,000 
Job Outlook - Good"

The university also projects "More states will increase their budgets
for State Tourism Bureaus. This should also create new job/career
opportunities. A background in hospitality management and marketing
should prove useful to break into this field." (I can't find a date
for this report, but it's clearly post-2001.)

Hospitality Net has market reports:
http://www.hospitalitynet.org/reports/index.html
that examine trends in the industry, including employment, for the
U.S. and internationally.

I typed "hiring" into the search box and got this February 2004
report, "One-in-four Hospitality Hiring Managers Plan to Add New Jobs
In 2004, CareerBuilder.com Survey Reveals":
http://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/4018725.html

International:

http://www.hotel-online.com/

Has this report on the "Top Ten Performing International Job Markets for 2003": 
http://www.hotel-online.com/News/PR2004_1st/Feb04_DeloitteTopMarkets.html

These results should give you a good idea of where to begin your job hunting:

Venice
Kuwait City
Geneva
Tokyo
Barcelona
Paris
Puerto Rico 
Rome
Florence
London

"UK Hotel & Retail sector brings job prospects for Q4 2003 down to ten
year low" from the September 16, 2003 edition of Hotel Job Resource:
http://www.hoteljobresource.com/menu/article7486.html

But check out their "Category Trends" page to see where this is job
growth in this sector, such as Barcelona and Latin America:
http://www.hoteljobresource.com/menu/CategoryTrends.html

From Training & Employment magazine, see "EMPLOYMENT PROSPECTS IN THE
HOTEL AND CATERING TRADE:

The Hospitality & Catering Career Club's June 2003 newsletter: 
http://www.springboard.co.uk/digital/summer2003/pdfs/editorial/037_sbd_jun03.pdf
lists average salary rates for the hotel industry in Great Britain.
(See graph at the bottom of the page).
   
SCHOOLS THAT OFFER ADVANCED DEGREES IN HOTEL MANAGEMENT (along with
scholarship and stipend options):

It is impossible for me to list every university in the U.S., EU, and
beyond, that has an advanced degree program in hospitality services,
along with their tuition rates, etc.; not only would that take me
weeks, I would likely cause the entire GA site to crash.

I have done my best to make it as easy for you as possible to key in
on the best candidates. For roundup listings of schools, please just
copy and paste the school's name, plus the phrase "AND hotel
management" into your favorite
search engine, and you should come up with hits for the appropriate
department for each school.

In other cases, I have highlighted particularly promising programs for you.

From Cornell's application page:
http://www.hotelschool.cornell.edu/prospective/graduate/mmh/apply/apprequire.html
"Our program requires that you have the equivalent of a four-year,
U.S. bachelor's degree in any discipline. For international
applicants, this translates to four years of post-secondary or a total
of 16 years of academic study. With a three-year degree, you must
complete an additional full year of academic study at the university
level, also in any discipline.
This extra year does not need to result in a degree. . . ."

P.S. While I was answering your question I found all these
hotel/hospitality job sites. No sense in letting them go to waste,
especially since they should be of help to you:

Finding Jobs in the Hotel Management/Hospitality Industry:

Adventures In Hospitality:
http://www.hospitalityadventures.com/
You'll see a long list of "featured employers" at that main page, and
you can register at the site to search for jobs. (Note: this site was
experiencing some technical problems when I visited it; I'm hoping it
will be working OK by the time you get to it.)

HCareers (Hospitality Careers Online) is an extensive and
comprehensive that provides links to job listings and highly regarded
college programs, and hospitality-oriented professional societies:
http://www.hcareers.co.uk/seeker/

These pages:
http://www.tharaldson.hcareers.com/seeker/links#6
http://www.hcareers.co.uk/seeker/search/
contain job listings for the UK and the U.S., as well as a helpful
"cost of living calculator."

Searching at http://www.hcareers.co.uk/seeker/search/
I used search criteria: "Hotel accommodation"; position: either
"manager-in-training" or "assistant manager," and for location, you
have a number of options, including "International."  Just keep
playing with those location options.

I found many jobs, including Crowne Plaza's "management in training program":
http://www.hcareers.co.uk/seeker/search/view?jobAdId=1DE251FB3095596E&page.marker=5.5.m6955903%60a152mk1g%2Cjh2I8tktO

Unfortunately, there aren't any current job openings at that site for South Asia.

The UKJobs site:
http://www.alljobsuk.com/
lead me to their site for catering and hospitality jobs throughout the UK:
http://www.alljobsuk.com/jobsites/Cater.shtml
And:
http://www.alljobsuk.com/jobsites.shtml

Hotel & Caterer Online also lists jobs worldwide:
http://www.hotelandcaterer.com/

At Caterer.com:
http://www.caterer.com/
Choose "hotel management," "General Manchester" for location, then
"hotel." (I came up with nine hits, most of which are for jobs
requiring hotel work
experience.)

Also try Voos's hotel jobs directory (for the U.K. and worldwide):
http://195.224.175.139/voovs/fahj/home.asp

You can register your CV here for employers to review, and you can
search for jobs, by clicking "Find A Job." that will bring up a pop-up
box showing vacancies. Most are for Europe and the Mediterranean area.

http://employment.omniseek.com/srch/{1589}

At About.com, see "Hospitality Jobs," compiled by site guide Alison Doyle:
http://jobsearch.about.com/cs/hospitalityjobs/index.htm?terms=hospitality
Scroll down the page to see a couple of dozen employment links.

Among the links there, I tried  "Hospitality Recruiting," which is
maintained by Bloksberg & Associates recruiting agency:
http://jobsearch.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hospitalityrecruiting.com%2F
Click on "For Employees" at the bottom of the page.

Niche Industries Within Hospitality Sector:

Ski Resorts:
http://www.jobs-in-europe.net/resort.html
is an extensive listing of jobs at ski resorts around the world.

Mountain Resorts:

I also clicked on "Mountain Jobs" which leads to a site for jobs
located in . . . mountainous regions. See "Resort Management" jobs at
mountain resorts at:
http://jobsearch.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mountainjobs.com%2Fhresu.shtml
One clickable listing there is for "Grand Targhee Resort, Food & Beverage
Director."
(There aren't a lot of jobs listed here, which isn't surprising, given
that this is a niche sub-industry within the hospitality sector.)

National Parks (U.S.):

I also clicked on "Resort Jobs," which brought up:
http://jobsearch.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.resortjobs.com%2F
which has "job listings for worldwide resort jobs with ski (and
snowboard!) resorts, camps, national parks, cruise ships, restaurants
and hotels."

I clicked search to bring up:
http://jobsearch.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.resortjobs.com%2F
then I typed in "national parks hotel," which brought up several pages
of hits that I weeded through. Among the jobs I found:

"Yellowstone Food and Beverage Manager, Job Location: YELLOWSTONE
NATIONAL PARK, WY, United States."

That job is offered by Xanterra Parks and Resorts. Its main page is:
http://www.xanterra.com/
"Xanterra Parks & Resorts is the country's largest park & resort
management company. We emphasize ecologically sensitive tourism which
has resulted in our environmental management and conservation programs
at national parks
having received widespread acclaim."

At left on that page, click "Find A Job," then on the next page, at right,
click "Jobs," to bring up:
http://www.xanterra.com/employment/017C_jobs.htm
Select the desired location, such as the Grand Canyon or other
national park, or a state park, to bring up open positions that you
can apply for via the site.

I checked out their link for Grand Canyon area jobs, and found this page for
"Job Requirements" for working at Xanterra:
http://www.grandcanyonlodges.com/dynamic/frameset.htm?page=72.htm
There isn't anything about residency requirements, so, presumably, all
one needs is a work visa in the U.S. to qualify.

Cruise Lines:

See the "Cruise Line Jobs" site:
http://www.cruisejob.20m.com/hotel.htm

This page shows all the cruise ship positions available to those with
hotel management skills, including average salary rates for specific
jobs:
http://www.cruisejob.20m.com/hotel.htm
For example: "Junior Assistant Purser (hotel receptionist) - previous
hotel experience and /or university degree preferable. Fluent English
Language skills required and speaking other languages (German, French
or Spanish) is a plus. Salary range: $1600 -1800 U.S. per month,
depending on the cruise line. Possibilities for promotion to Assistant
Purser. . . . . Purser (supervising day to day operations of the
pursers office / front desk as directed by the Chief Purser) -
previous hotel experience preferable, a degree in hotel management and
/or prior cruise ship experience is required. Fluent English Language
skills required. Salary range: $2300-3200 U.S. per month, depending on
the cruise line. Possibilities for promotion to Deputy Purser.

The company that runs that site sells job directories, but I found
some free sites that list job opportunities for cruise lines:

About.com's "Cruise Line Job Openings" chosen by site guide Linda Garrison:
http://cruises.about.com/cs/cruiselinejobs/
You'll see links there for Carnival, Disney, and Royal Caribbean.

For a more close-up example, go to Radisson's Seven Seas' job listings page:
http://cruises.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rssc.com%2Femployment%2Fhome.jsp%3Flink%3Demployment
And you'll find quite a few positions that require a degree in hotel management.
