PolyU SHTM

Welcome to the official YouTube Channel of the School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). 

For 45 years, the SHTM has refined a distinctive vision of hospitality and tourism education and become a symbol of excellence in the field. From humble beginnings as a diploma-conferring department, it has risen to become one of the largest hospitality and tourism schools in Asia and amongst the top such schools worldwide. With more than 90 academics drawing from 21 countries and regions, the SHTM is ranked among the top hotel and tourism schools in the world, exemplifying our motto of Leading Hospitality and Tourism.

In 2012, the School was bestowed the McCool Breakthrough Award by the International Council on Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional Education (I-CHRIE) recognising its breakthrough in the form of its teaching and research hotel – Hotel ICON – the heart of the School’s innovative approach to hospitality and tourism education.
