For Nan from Myanmar, one of AIHM's biggest advantages was its location. “Like many people, I associated hospitality education with Switzerland, but studying there wasn't financially feasible for me,” she says. “While looking at other options, I discovered AIHM. It was close to home and offered the added advantage of being in academic association with Les Roches.”
Being surrounded by world-class hotels, restaurants, and hospitality events meant Nan could connect what she learned in class with what was happening in the industry.
“Whether it was a marketing or consumer behaviour class, we'd visit different properties, attend career fairs or sustainability events, and observe how hospitality businesses operate,” she explains. “We'd analyse what we saw, connect it to what we'd learned in class, and reflect on those experiences. It really brought our lessons to life.”
