TTourism is one of the world’s most dynamic industries, driving economic growth, job creation, and cultural exchange. With its rich heritage, natural beauty, and expanding service sector, Bangladesh holds great potential as a major tourist destination. The Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management (THM) plays a pivotal role in preparing skilled professionals to meet the demands of this growing industry.

Established in the Summer Semester of 2013 under the Faculty of Business Studies, the department began with just 9 students in the Bachelor of Tourism and Hospitality Management (BTHM) program. Today, we proudly serve handsome number of students, offering a curriculum that blends rigorous academic knowledge with hands-on practical training.

Our state-of-the-art facilities include laboratories for Housekeeping, Food Production, Restaurant Service, and Front Office Operations, along with the industry-standard “Nice Software” Property Management System (PMS). We maintain strong partnerships with leading organizations such as Dhaka Regency Hotel & Resort, Dhaka Resort, Hotel Sea Palace, Ratnodweep Resort, Best Western Plus Maple Leaf, and HANSA – A Premium Residence, providing our students with internships, paid training, and career opportunities, including placements in a prestigious five-star/seven-star hotel in China.

Our students have achieved national and international recognition—winning the ACE International Education & Cultural Carnival (2017), ranking in the Top Ten at the Business Innovation Summit (2018), and showcasing talent at the 12th Bangladesh Biman Travel and Tourism Fair (2024). The WUB Tourism and Hospitality Management Club further enriches student life by organizing workshops, food festivals, World Tourism Day celebrations, and community outreach programs.

Graduates of our department are excelling both at home and abroad—in institutions such as Radisson Blu, The Westin Dhaka, Amari Dhaka, Le Méridien, Qatar Airways, and Sam’s Fiesta in New Zealand—and pursuing higher education in countries including the USA, UK, Australia, Italy, Spain, and Malaysia. Our highly qualified faculty, holding degrees from prestigious national and international universities, ensure that our students receive world-class education and mentorship. We also offer foreign language courses in Chinese and Japanese to enhance global employability.

As Head and Director, I extend my gratitude to our faculty, staff, and students for their dedication and passion. Together, we remain committed to producing competent, confident, and compassionate professionals who will contribute meaningfully to the tourism and hospitality industry in Bangladesh and beyond.
