Dusit Thani College Students Showcase Gracious Sustainable Innovation at Dusit Leadership Conference 2024  

On the occasion of Dusit International – so called Dusit Group or Dusit Hotels and Resorts – celebrating its 75th anniversary, the group organizes Dusit Leadership Conference 2024 at the reimagined flagship Dusit Thani Bangkok hotel to gather and display gracious masterpieces of its subsidiaries. 

Dusit International is a hospitality conglomerate featuring 4-to-5-star accommodations, hotels, and resorts in Bangkok as well as other destinations in Thailand and other countries. Dusit’s portfolio also includes other hospitality-related businesses such as restaurants, spas, and so on. Dusit International also trailblazed educational institutions specialized in hospitality business which serves all needs in the industry. Among the properties, Dusit Thani College offers formal education of bachelor’s programs in Business Administration, an MBA program, and public certification programs. In Dusit Leadership Conference 2024, Dusit Thani College had a chance to showcase the students’ groundbreaking project.  

The project formulated by 3 students – Mr. Supakorn Zhang, Ms. Jirada Kluaymaingarm, and Ms. Natthanicha Teera–atthawet – from Professional Culinary Arts Program (international program) and Hospitality Management Program (international program) was given the name “Thara”. It is an organic water recycling system which uses plants to absorb graywater residues until the water is reusable for non-consumption purposes. The water will run through the vertical green wall to the sterilization box before going to the tap, reducing energy consumption and water waste. This innovation has gained a round of applause from the international delegation of Dusit executives and industry professionals as of the profound knowledge, creativity, and practicality these BBA students possess.  

The project was able to get through to the final round of Sustainable Hospitality Challenge 2024 (SHC) in Dubai, UAE. The stage, initiated by one of the leading hospitality schools in the world from the Netherlands Hotelschool The Hague, aims to build a sandbox for young generations internationally to think outside the box and develop innovative sustainable products or services which can encounter the challenges of global hospitality industry and the world’s environment.  

Dusit Thani College is proud of the abilities of 3 competitive students and of being an educational institution under Dusit International which plays a crucial role in cultivating quality personnel for hospitality industry in Thailand and all over the world.
