The Glamping Manager is a new, modern and fast-growing figure.
He is not just a hotelier, nor just a tourism entrepreneur: he is a professional capable of creating authentic experiences, in close contact with nature, without sacrificing comfort.
It combines hôtellerie skills with a passion for sustainable tourism and the ability to manage unconventional structures such as luxury tents, lodges, bubble rooms or eco-chalets.
The course provided by IET trains a dynamic, multi-purpose professional with management skills, tourism marketing, experiential hospitality and a focus on sustainability. The Glamping Manager is the point of reference for those who want to transform an idea of alternative hospitality into a concrete, profitable activity in line with the new trends in responsible tourism.
