On October 14th, 2024, Simcha Island hosted a group of Hotel Management students from the State Institute of Hotel Management (SIHM), Indore. The visit was a part of their industrial exposure, providing an immersive learning experience in hospitality operations.
The event was educational and served as a platform for students to engage with professionals from the hotel industry, potentially paving the way for future opportunities.
A Warm Welcome with Adventure Park Tour
The welcome began with a refreshing drink by the food and beverage team at Simcha. This small but thoughtful gesture set a positive tone for the day, highlighting the importance of hospitality right from the beginning of the guest journey.
The group was then taken on a guided tour of Simcha, led by Adventure Manager Mr. Mukesh Giri Goswami, along with Mr. Ajit and other heads of Hotel Operations.
The students had the opportunity to explore various attractions within the park, such as the Splash Water Park, the new Sonnet Banquet, Trampoline, Go-Karting, and Snow Park. The site visit enhanced the students’ knowledge of how large-scale recreational activities are handled, managed, and operated in the service industry.
Accommodation Tour
Following the Adventure Park tour, the students moved on to explore the accommodation options of Simcha. They were given a comprehensive tour of the lobby, the popular Café C restaurant, and various categories of guest rooms.
The visit also included a walkthrough of our Town Hall 1 & 2 banquet halls, offering the students a glimpse into our event and conference facilities.
The accommodation tour highlighted the importance of hospitality. The students understood how the staff operates behind the scenes which keeps the hotel running smoothly. They gained insights into how different departments work together to ensure a comfortable guest experience, from the welcoming atmosphere of the lobby to the fine dining options at Café C, and the meticulous management of our rooms and banquet services.
Engaging in Induction and Interactive Q&A Session
The tour was followed by a short induction session.
At the induction session, the students engaged in interactive Q&A sessions with our operational heads, including Mr. Umakant Chouhan (Front Office Manager), Chef Vivek Sharma (Executive Chef), and Mr. Atul Rawat (F&B Manager).
The industry experts shared their insights on hotel operations, culinary management, and guest services. The students made the session interactive with their piqued interest.
Simcha- Where Adventure Meets Learning
The visit to Simcha turned out to be a successful and engaging session. The students learnt in and out of the hotel industry.
Simcha looks forward to welcoming these students in the future, possibly as interns or even as full-time employees, contributing to the next generation of hospitality professionals.
