Completed an Internship in Hospitality management at the 4-star luxury hotel Belvédère in Spiez (Bern area) in Switzerland. I had noticed the crucial importance of complementing theory with practical exposure. Therefore, this internship enabled me to gain a comprehensive understanding of two functional departments of a hotel: Housekeeping and Food&Beverage. The director of the hotel helped me to customize my schedule so that i was able to experience both departments. To have an idea of what my task included, please find some examples below.
