LAHORE: The Hashoo School of Hospitality Management (HSHM) has partnered with the Multan University of Science and Technology (MUST) to offer premium hospitality education in southern Punjab.

According to the agreement, the collaboration will provide young people in Multan and southern Punjab with access to a two-year international associate degree programme in hospitality, featuring hands-on training, internships, and guaranteed job placement.

Executive Director of Pearl-Continental Hotel, Lahore and Education Division, Hashoo Group Haseeb A Gardezi said that the group will facilitate premium hospitality education across Pakistan.

Pakistan is one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world, attracting both local and international visitors due to its unparalleled natural beauty, cultural heritage, and warm hospitality. Several international and local hospitality chains are increasing their investments in Pakistan, with ample support from government entities as well. The country’s hospitality and tourism revenue are expected to grow significantly in the coming years, Gardezi observed.
