How can i start an hotel industry?

Im quite interested in starting my own line of high quality hotels. However i just graduated from highschool and havent started college yet. What is the best degree to get for this. Also what is the starting cost to began my hotel business. Any other advice would be highly appreciated.

I agree w/Ellen , but I also think you should have a M.B.A., for the pure business end of running a chain of hotels ,

start working for a major chain hotel operation , doing anything they will hire you for learn the bus from the ground up

good luck, love your go getter style

You can get a degree in the Hospitality Industry, or a certificate, I don't know which. Call your local community college or university to find out if they have a program in that field.

I presume you know that it would take megabucks to get started in building your own hotels or motels. You are going to have to have some credentials, training, experience, and knowledge before any bank is going to loan you that kind of money.

If you're really smooth maybe you can fast talk somebody into giving you money but then you'd have to back up your talk with action and actually build, run, and maintain the business without going out of business. Are you up to it now?

(The actual amount would be in the multi-millions.)
