Marco Polo Program

Those who want to have a career in the hospitality and tourism industries must have an international and cross-cultural outreach. Keeping this in mind, Vatel gives students the opportunity to spend the 2^nd year in a different Vatel school, located in any part of the world.

With this program, students can:

• discover a new country
• experience a new culture
• learn an additional foreign language

while continuing their hotel management studies with our curriculum. Vatel schools throughout the world have the same educational programs: students thus continue their courses abroad before going back to their home school for their third Bachelor year.

The Marco Polo year is then validated by the students’ host school. To increase their experience in the international hospitality industry, Vatel recommends that students extend their stay with an internship in their host countries.

A program awarded Best Innovation in an Educational Program

The Marco Polo program has been granted by the international hospitality professionals the Best Innovation in an Educational Program Award at the Worldwide Hospitality Awards.

A recognition expressed by those who recruit Vatel interns and Vatel alumni throughout the world.
