For many years, Switzerland has set the gold standard for hospitality management education—and for good reasons. Swiss hotel schools are excellent. That’s why AIHM offers a Swiss-style education in Academic Association with Les Roches. 

This past December, AIHM took on a heartfelt challenge to support Thailand’s stray cats through the 6 Keys Marathon. Aiming to raise 42,200 THB—one for each kilometer run—this initiative brought together students, faculty, and hotel teams across Bangkok to raise awareness and funds for shelters like PAWS Bangkok and Rawai Animal Lovers. By turning every step into a symbol of hope, care, and love, we not only supported a worthy cause but also inspired others to join in, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word. Now, with the marathon behind us, the mission continues—your support can help us make a lasting impact for these deserving animals.
