While not always mandatory, a degree in hospitality and tourism management is beneficial, but also it depends on the role and the size of the business you are going to apply the job for.

Especially for entry-level roles like customer service, front desk, or food and beverage service. However, a degree can be very beneficial for advanced-level roles and positions.
