“Selling the Maine Experience”

In HTRM 1, students learn to provide incredible customer service to their guests. So whether a student wants to be a river rafting guide in the Forks, a hotel manager in Portland, or an owner of a fun and funky restaurant in Norway, she or he will be able to deliver customer satisfaction across the guest cycle. Students will also build essential skills in business strategy and legal foundations, marketing and public relations, operations and client services, finance, human resource practices, and ethical decision making.
