Here's a peek into what's hot in South African hospitality, and how Oxbridge Academy can equip you with the skills to thrive:

1. The Rise of the Experience Curator

Travellers today aren't just looking for a place to stay – they crave unique adventures. From personalised safaris to gourmet cooking classes with local chefs, hotels and lodges are upping the ante on experiences. If you have a knack for storytelling and can create itineraries that tap into a guest's interests, you'll be a valuable asset.

2. Tech-Savvy Hospitality

Automation is changing the game. Guests expect contactless check-in, AI chatbots to answer questions, and seamless online booking. Understanding these technologies will put you ahead of the curve.

3. Sustainability Steals the Show

Eco-conscious travellers are on the rise. Hotels that prioritise renewable energy, local sourcing, and responsible waste management are attracting more guests. If you're passionate about protecting South Africa's natural beauty, you can play a part in shaping sustainable practices.

4. Bleisure Blends Business & Pleasure

The lines are blurring between work and travel. Business travellers are extending their trips for leisure activities, and hotels are catering to this trend with co-working spaces and "bleisure" (business + leisure) packages. Understanding the needs of this new breed of traveller will be key.
