HTMi, Hotel and Tourism Management Institute Switzerland

CEO, Mr Ian Larmour, established HTMi in 1999 in Switzerland’s UNESCO Biosphere in Sörenberg, Kanton Luzern. It has since expanded to be a global education group with campuses in Singapore, Australia, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and a global network of partnerships. For over 20 years, HTMi has achieved, and continues to improve its world level.

The institute provides undergraduate and postgraduate courses in hotel, events, culinary and hospitality management. In addition to HTMi Switzerland’s own diplomas and degrees, students can finish UK Degrees at our Swiss campus awarded by top ranked UK universities: University of Ulster and Edinburgh Napier University, UK. 

HTMI consistently achieves very high student results with the current BSc results level at its highest ever. Our courses have Swiss, UK and international accreditation. A key aspect of all courses is Swiss intensive holistic learning style which blends training, education and paid internships in all courses.

HTMi is a global leader in student research. The institute has its own International Hospitality Research Centre to support student research at all levels. Linked are two student online journals to showcase our students research work, and students can present twice per year at our conferences held at HTMi. 

Renowned international researchers attend HTMi research conferences to present their research expertise and to judge student research presentations. The Centre acknowledges the outstanding research of students by publishing two student journals quarterly. Our ultimate goal is to transform each student to become an independent learner, with strong critical analysis and research skills.

Internships are proven to be a great way to gain relevant knowledge, skills, and experiences while establishing important connections in the Hospitality field. This is the reason why every HTMi student should do at least one and often two or three 6-1month internships in Switzerland or Internationally after their on-campus semester. 

The HTMi Centre for Career Management supports all students in choosing the right internship and orienting them in their continuous personal and career development. It connects with major hotel companies and places students, alumni and executives around the world.
