The Institute of Hospitality acts as a vital bridge between academia and industry.
The inaugural 2017 Institute of Hospitality Digest (IHD) was an e-journal publication that showcased student research projects from our partner Education Membership Scheme colleges and universities. Instead of gathering dust in university archives, our aim is to bring relevant academic research to the wider attention of the Institute’s community of operators and managers, so that new ideas and insights may benefit our industry at large.
The aim of the Institute of Hospitality Digest is to collect the very best academic research and share it with the Institute’s wider community of operators and managers.
