Marco Polo, an exchange program to learn more about the international hospitality industry

Those who want to have a career in the hospitality and tourism industries must have an international and cross-cultural outlook. With Vatel present in more than 50 countries worldwide, students benefit from a truly international network. Through the Marco Polo programme, they can spend their second year at one of around 30 participating Vatel schools, developing their cross-cultural mindset and discovering a new academic and professional environment.

Marco Polo: your second year at another Vatel campus

The educational concept remains the same, the only things that differ are the cultural environment and language. 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 3rd year of the Bachelor in International Hotel Management program.

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.
