My name is Jean-Marie Asmar, 21 years old, an all-time passionate about the Hospitality Industry. I graduated this year from Université Saint Joseph de Beirut with a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management. During my 3 years at USJ, I got the chance to gain some professional experience in hospitality doing my internships in Lebanon and Dubai.
I decided to pursue my higher studies at Glion Institute of Higher Education and applied for the MSc in Real Estate, Finance and Hotel Development and was more than thrilled when I got accepted for it. Working in the hospitality business is not only about Food and beverages operations or guest relations as many people believe, it is also working from the Corporate side of it, the owner/investor perspective, seeing a hotel or a restaurant as a high-income generating commercial real estate asset, and analyzing the development and feasibility studies of hospitality assets.
The academic program of this Master will give me the theoretical knowledge of international hotel development and asset management, real estate investments and financial strategies so I can apply them in the real life experiences and pursue my career in this business.
After my graduation at Glion, I will have the chance to do an internship in the field of my choice, I will be looking for the best commercial real estate services companies such as JLL, CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, Colliers, hoping that I can get a job there in the future. I am sure that Glion will give me all the assistance for it.

I believe that working in hotel development nowadays is very important, the tourism and hospitality industries are very easy to innovate and be creative in them, I want to be part of the generation that will transform the hotel development business into sustainable tourism, and help entire countries or cities to rely on their tourism as a main economy booster.
I am confident that Glion will equip me with all the necessary tools to achieve my life goals, and I am super excited to begin my program in September. ?
