Escola Universitària de Turisme i Direcció Hotelera (EUTDH)

Tourism and Hotel Management studies were first introduced at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) – Autonomous University of Barcelona – in 1993 with the foundation of the Escola Superior d’Hoteleria de Catalunya (ESHC) – Catalonia Higher School of Hospitality Studies – a higher education centre linked to the UAB. The project was completed four years later with the creation of a second attached school, the Escola Universitària de Turisme (EUT) – University School of Tourism. The concept constitutes a pioneer approach to tourism and hotel management education and is unique in Spain. The two schools have been jointly managed since 1999, and a single, new school, Escola Universitària de Turisme i Direcció Hotelera (EUTDH) – University School of Tourism and Hotel Management – was created in 2000.
