The School of Hotel and Tourism Management (SHTM) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University has again excelled in university rankings, claiming the top spot in the "Hospitality and Tourism Management" category of ShanghaiRanking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2021.
This is the fifth consecutive year in which the SHTM has been recognised as the world's number one by a globally respected institution. The School was awarded first
place by ShanghaiRanking in 2017, when its Global Ranking of Academic Subjects included for the first time a ranking of the world's top 100 universities in the "Hospitality and Tourism Management" category.
ShanghaiRanking's Academic Ranking of World Universities has been published annually since 2009 and is regarded as one of the three most influential and widely observed university measures, alongside the QS World University Rankings and Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
The SHTM is very honoured to be recognised internationally as a world-leading hospitality and tourism management school. In a ringing endorsement of the School's
dedicated researchers and innovative educational approach and the University's visionary leadership, this ranking confirms the SHTM's outstanding reputation and commitment to global excellence in hospitality and tourism education and research.
A decade ago, pursuing a vision unlike any other, the SHTM moved to the premises that remain its home today. Bringing the School and its teaching and research hotel, Hotel ICON, under the same roof represented an important milestone in the SHTM's
development. The School's paradigm-shifting approach to hospitality and tourism education, with Hotel ICON at its core, has nurtured its reputation as the leading institution of its kind in the world. With its international faculty, diverse student body and enthusiastic and influential support base, the School is well equipped to lead the development of global hospitality and tourism education in the years to come.
