One of the differences about BBI, in comparison with other higher education establishments, is that we have always focused on study and scientific research in the field of hospitality and tourism management.

The emphasis made by the founders is based on two key notions:

• BBI has a duty to move forward knowledge about teaching through quality research.
• The challenges faced by companies are so wide-ranging that it is vital that we discuss research, synthesize and generate ideas.

Based on these convictions, BBI is pursuing a three-pronged objective by creating a consultancy department:

• To help resolve the questions which concern all companies of the hospitality and tourism industry.
• To move forward the general level of knowledge in the field of hospitality and tourism management.
• To develop new teaching materials for teaching programmes and professional in-business training.
