AIHM HIGHER

AI has taken the world by storm—a Category 5 hurricane to be more exact. Only a year and a half ago, in November 2022, ChatGPT launched, offering everyday individuals the chance to explore and utilise the power of artificial intelligence with relative ease. Initially, I was very surprised by this new development, but I assumed it was just an improved version of Siri or Alexa—fascinating and possibly useful, but not necessarily world-shattering. Then I started playing around with it. Very quickly, I could see the potential ChatGPT and similar artificial intelligence tools might have for work and, most importantly, education.

English is the international language of business. On a global scale, no other language comes close to equalling its power in the business world. Whether used for writing emails, holding meetings or negotiating multi-billion dollar deals, mastery of English communication skills is one of the most important competencies you can acquire to boost your success. 

Do you find yourself at home when you work with numbers? Or does your brain just shut down when finance and accounting topics come up? If you, like many people, are in the second group, now is your chance to finally overcome this hurdle!

On behalf of the entire faculty and staff, Warren Stanworth, the Academic Dean, is thrilled to extend a warm welcome to the new students as they embark on their journey in the Global Hospitality Management programme at AIHM.

Climate change impacts every industry. In the hospitality industry, this is powerfully true. We host our guests in some of the world’s most beautiful environments. Amidst such amazing backdrops, it’s hard to not consider the effects the travel and hotel business play in the big picture.

This coming week we welcome a new cohort of students for their very first semester of AIHM’s Bachelor Business Administration in Global Hospitality Management. As always, this is one of my favourite times of the year. If you are one of the new members of our community, I want you to know how special this week is for all of us. Your passion, your vision and your potential to transform the hospitality field inspire us. As we embark on this journey together, I’d like to share with you and our other readers, the ‘why’ behind AIHM, the deeply held beliefs that drive everything we do.

As April unfolds in South East Asia, temperatures rise and water splashing celebrations take over the streets. For much of South East Asia, mid-April marks the traditional New Year’s Festival.
