1993
When Dusit Thani College Established
- At that time, Thailand had a shortage of manpower, knowledge and experience in the hospitality industry, due in part to a lack of educational institutes and training programs. Those that existed focused only on theory, offering no practical experience for the students. In addition, there were few industry leaders involved in the academic development of hotel businesses.
- Dusit Thani Hotel School was established to meet this need by delivering specialised, practical training for the industry and to support Thailand’s developing hotel business.
At first, two courses were available:
- Diploma in Hotel Operations
- Professional Chef Diploma
1996
Dusit Thani Hotel School became the first institute in Thailand to be approved for college status and started to offer undergraduate programs.
