AIHM HIGHER

Hospitality education comes in many forms, from on-the-job training to MBA programmes. When most people think of hospitality education though, the first thing that comes to mind is a Bachelor’s degree in hospitality management from a prestigious hotel school. This is a fantastic option for individuals aspiring to a successful career in hospitality management, but it’s not the only option out there.

For years, Switzerland has been recognised as the hub of hospitality education. Students with dreams of becoming hoteliers flock to its mountain towns and lakeside cities to learn the art and business of hospitality at Swiss hotel schools with their time-tested curricula. In recent years, a new generation of budding hoteliers have discovered another beautiful location offering a similarly impeccable education in the concepts, commercial strategies and fine skills of hospitality management. In contrast to the snowy slopes of Switzerland, this newer hub of hospitality education offers a tropical backdrop. Yes, Thailand.

What comes to mind when you think of Switzerland? Luxurious watches? Fine chocolates? Historic banks? Snow-covered ski slopes? As a Swiss national working in Asia, I’m proud of all these claims to fame, but one Swiss signature is closer to my heart than all the others: Switzerland has a reputation for being home to some of the best hotel schools in the world. Today, I’m excited to discuss the Swiss model of education in hospitality and hotel management and where it can be found in Asia. At AIHM (the Asian Institute of Hotel Management in Academic Association with Les Roches), we’re committed to bringing this world-renowned model to Thailand to benefit other parts of Asia and to provide our students with the highest quality of education, training and support.

Introducing the AIHM Business Plan Competition 2023 

With our campuses in Bangkok and Pattaya, AIHM has seen how much talent the up-and-coming generation of students in Thailand has to offer. We know there are future business leaders and successful entrepreneurs waiting to emerge from every high school in the country. In order to foster this creative spirit, we’re launching a new opportunity designed just for high schoolers. The AIHM Business Plan Competition 2023 is a partnership between AIHM, the Asian Institute of Hospitality Management in Academic Association with Les Roches, and GHA, the Global Hotel Alliance. The top teams will win prizes of up to 40,000 baht sponsored by GHA. 

As we enter the new year. I wanted to take a moment to wish you all the best for 2023, the year of the rabbit. May this be a year filled with health, happiness, and success for all.

As we look ahead to the coming year, there are certainly many exciting things to look forward to. One such event is the first graduation ceremony for Minor Hotels' first cohort of team members who have completed the Certificate in International Hotel Administration a year and a half of study with AIHM. This will take place on Saturday, March 11th, 2023, at the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort.
