Vatel International Research Center in Hotel and Tourism Management

With the creation of the Vatel International Research Center in Tourism and Hotel Management, known as CirVath, Vatel Group gave itself a high-performing tool aiming at developing fundamental and applied research in the field of tourism and hotel management. Completely aware that the tourism industry is a model that must be reinvented, that its managerial model is broken and that the field not only needs to change its culture but also the way in which it carries out its activities, the goal of CirVath is to be a hub where reflections and analyses on tourism will continue to redefine the culture of tourism, reinvent the industry surrounding it, while reclassifying jobs in tourist and hospitality industries.

By promoting research in Vatel Group, the CirVath:

  • Facilitates professional development of faculty members by broadening their knowledge and skill sets, by creating conditions for closer links between theory and practical applications and by the creation of a new professional identity;
  • Creates new dynamics in the Group. New types of contacts, more fruitful exchanges between professors and research experts to boost team spirit, motivate and bring in fresh ideas;
  • Improves our educational methods and courses. Answers are given to questions stemming from practical matters; assessments and methods thus generate new theoretical comprehension which trickles back down into practical applications;
  • Puts Vatel Group in contact with other French and foreign schools and research centers, thus promoting interdisciplinarity, and we can even say, an international mind-set.

 

Vatel Group, thus recognized as a center of excellence, becomes a privileged partner of other specialized schools and institutions throughout the world.
