The American College of Greece

School of Global Hospitality and Tourism

A world-class school of tourism, hospitality and culinary arts — rooted in Greece, built for the world.

Athens & Kalamata · Opening September 2027

The vision

Establishing Greece as a hub of knowledge and training for the next generation of tourism professionals.

The ACG – Ēnsofi School of Global Hospitality and Tourism opens as Greece takes its place among the world's leading tourism destinations — a country with decades of experience and strong global recognition. Yet professional, industry-aligned academic education in hospitality remains rare in Europe, offered in real depth mainly in Switzerland. Few places are as well positioned to turn that expertise into a genuine centre of tourism knowledge.

The industry is also facing a widening talent gap: the World Travel & Tourism Council projects Greece will see one of the largest tourism workforce shortfalls in the world over the coming decade. This school is built to help close it — with a curriculum written jointly by academic faculty and industry leaders from day one, so what students learn matches what employers actually need.

The degree

BSc (Hons) Hospitality Business Management

The programme is pending validation from NECHE and the Open University of the United Kingdom.

Pathway

Hospitality Management

Luxury guest-experience design, hospitality real estate and investment, spa and wellness operations, and sustainable luxury.

Pathway

Culinary Arts

High gastronomy and fine dining, professional kitchen technique, the restaurant business, pastry and plant-based cuisine.

Pathway

Sustainable Tourism & Destination Management

Destination strategy and governance, cultural and heritage tourism, sports tourism and events, and destination development.

All students share a common foundation before choosing a specialisation. AI-enabled decision-making and sustainability run through every pathway — treated as leadership capabilities, not topics — alongside immersive placements inside a world-class resort ecosystem.
