DTC Showtime 2025 by Dusit Thani College, ​where the inspiration of the service industry begins​ 

09 September 2024

Recently, the world-famous magazine CEOWORLD Magazine surveyed readers’ opinions and found that Thailand is ranked number 1 as world’s best countries to visit in your lifetime. Meanwhile, at the beginning of this year, The Telegraph, a large media outlet from England, recently ranked Thailand as number 6 in the world on its list of “20 places you should travel to in 2024.” These data reflect that Thailand’s tourism and service industry is continuously growing. And it is still a huge income source for the country. Of course, Thailand’s tourism and service industries will need talents to support this growth. 

Dusit Thani College, Thailand’s leading hospitality education institution under the Dusit Thani Hotel Group, aims to be a part of inspiring Thai youth to study the hospitality and tourism business. Recently, DTC Showtime 2025 ‘Spot Life’ was held at Dusit Thani College Bangkok and Pattaya Campus. The events earned more excellent feedback and participation from high school students above the expectation.​ 

“Most occupations in the tourism and service industries cannot be replaced by AI,” Dr. Atthawet Prueksathaporn, President of Dusit Thani College, spoke during the opening of DTC Showtime 2025 ‘Spot Life’ at Dusit Thani College, Bangkok, “In the future, humans may be replaced by robots in many positions, but a career in this service industry requires humanity, feelings, and smiles, which robots don’t have. We therefore play an important role in training students to be ready for living and working with humans.​ 

Dusit Thani College has been open for more than 30 years with the determination of Thanpuying Chanat Piyaoui, founder of the Dusit Thani Hotel Group. In those days, she found that when Dusit Group hired employees, they needed to be retrained anyway. Therefore, she decided to establish an institute to directly teach in this field. So, the college is a place that produces quality personnel for both the Dusit Group and other entrepreneurs. Dusit Thani College is one of the few educational institutions that have their own hotel for students to do, play and study. 

DTC Showtime 2025 ‘Spot Life’ was filled with fun and informative activities that allowed attendees to learn what is it is like in the hospitality industry. For example, the Hotel Management Program offered the students to experience the working atmosphere at Dusit Princess Srinakarin Hotel, while the Culinary Arts Program allowed them to have workshop with 7 DTC’s alumni celebrity chefs.​ 

Dusit Thani College is very pleased to see an overwhelming number of people attending the event. Because it shows that this event helps inspire Thai youth to truly become a part of the Thai tourism and service industry.
