Pakistan NextGen Hospitality Challenge (PNHC), organised by the College of Tourism & Hotel Management (COTHM), emerged as a powerful platform of national unity by bringing together hospitality students from COTHM’s campuses across all provinces of Pakistan.

The participation of diverse teams representing different regions of the country turned the event into more than just a competition; it became a celebration of Pakistan’s cultural diversity, regional strengths, and shared identity. Through collaborative learning, teamwork, and healthy competition, the event promoted national harmony, inter-provincial connectivity, and the spirit of inclusivity that underpins a stronger, more united Pakistan.

By uniting students from different regions and provinces of Pakistan under one banner, PNHC showcased how hospitality and tourism education can serve as a bridge between communities, developing greater understanding and national solidarity.

While talking to Hospitality Plus, COTHM Founder/President & CEO Ahmad Shafiq emphasized that with two such national-level events organized annually, PNHC has the potential to further deepen bonds among Pakistan’s youth, nurture mutual respect across provincial lines, and create a future workforce of hospitality leaders who embody the values of national cohesion and unity.

The Pakistan NextGen Hospitality Challenge, therefore, stands not only as a milestone in the academic and professional journey of students, but also as a symbolic movement where the spirit of “One Nation – One Pakistan” shines through the lens of hospitality, tourism, and cultural exchange.
