Hii,

PhD in Hotel Management is a high-level degree you can earn after finishing a master’s degree. It’s for people who want to become experts in the hotel and hospitality industry, often to teach at universities or do advanced research.

In simple words, it’s like becoming a super-specialist in how hotels and tourism work. You study things like managing hotels, understanding customers, and improving the business. It takes a few years (usually 3-5).

After you’re done, you can become a college teacher , work in big hotel companies, or even help hotels grow by giving expert advice.
