It was established in result of a merger of three tourist universities – the renowned Mieczyslaw Orlowicz College of Tourism and Recreation in Warsaw, Warsaw University of Tourism, Food and Hospitality and The College of Tourism and Hotel Management in Łódź. They were also joined by the Tourism Institute, established in 1972, the only research and development unit in Poland conducting interdisciplinary, comprehensive studies in the field of tourism. The Vistula School of Hospitality prepares graduates for a career in management, development and administration of tourist, sports or recreation enterprises. Its educational offer comprises bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Polish and English that are unique on a national scale. It provides education in the field of Tourism and Recreation, Dietetics and Lifestyle Coaching. The Vistula School of Hospitality promotes the idea of entrepreneurship. It focuses on the practical and international dimension of teaching. The system of the University’s cooperation with practitioners and the business environment rests on the Business Council established in 2014, which is the Group’s key advisory and opinion-forming body. It consists of strategic partners representing key specialties who actively cooperate with the Vistula School of Hospitality authorities in developing the University’s study programs. The Council includes, among others, representatives of the International Association of Meeting Organizers of MPI Poland, the Polish Chamber of Tourism, the Polish Tourist Organization and the Polish Olympic Committee.
