The
Swiss hotel industry enjoys an excellent international reputation. To a
large extent, this is due to the work carried out daily in
establishments affiliated with the Swiss Hotel Schools Association. In

Association complements the efforts made by the Swiss Authorities. Both
strive to guarantee a high qualify of professionalism.
ASEH’s
responsibility is to ensure professional and academic quality standards
for Swiss hotel schools, and it therefore controls all member schools
on a regular basis in accordance with the standards of accreditation.

AIESTInternational Association of Scientific Experts in Tourism
AIEST is an international scientific
society of a kind which may be found in other scientific fields. Its aims as
they were outlined and laid down at the outset and drawn up in Article 3 of the
By-laws, have proved themselves and remained unchanged in that form to this
day. In accordance with them the Association endeavours to
foster friendly relations among
its members;
to promote scientific activity
on the part of its members, in particular by developing personal contacts,
providing documentation and facilitating exchange of views and experience;
to support the activity of
scientific institutes of tourism, or other centres of research and
education specializing in tourism, and to develop relations between them,
as well as between them and the members of the Association;
to organize and to cooperate in
congresses and other meetings and courses on tourism of a scientific
nature.
Therefore, AIEST may be considered as being the international catalyst of
scientific activities in tourism. The Association does not itself directly
engage in tourism research and education, but it endeavours to foster them as
much as possible within the limits of its possibilities and those of existing
institutions.
