This program is delivered at the Phu Quoc campus of Hotel Academy Vietnam, with certification and degree granted by EHL (Ecole Hôtelière de Lausanne) — the world’s leading hospitality management school based in Switzerland. More than just a course, it serves as an international gateway, opening opportunities for global transfer and career development for young people passionate about tourism and hospitality.

A representative of the Hotel Academy Vietnam’s leadership also addressed the new students:
"Here, we take pride in offering an ideal international learning environment that blends robust academic foundations with rich practical experience. Our training program, developed by EHL — ranked the world’s No. 1 hospitality university for six consecutive years by the QS World University Rankings (2019–2024) — equips students with a strong foundation for success in the hospitality industry. With thorough preparation and a globally benchmarked curriculum, we believe our students are ready to embark on their careers with confidence and the ability to overcome any challenge.
Welcome to all new students of the Hotel Management program — your journey begins here!"

1. The Vocational Path: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Growth

Hotel Academy Vietnam believes that vocational education is not merely about acquiring knowledge—it is a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. With a focus on practical skill development, the Hotel Management program offers students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, with 70% of the training conducted directly at The HUB—an on-site hotel operated by the academy in both Phu Quoc and Ho Chi Minh City. Here, students not only refine their technical skills but also cultivate a professional work ethic, empowering them to step confidently into the workforce from day one.

Equipped with a solid foundation from EHL and trained under the internationally recognized Hotel School model, students at Hotel Academy Vietnam are prepared with the skills and qualities that employers in the hospitality and tourism industry are actively seeking.

Let us celebrate and support these young individuals as they embark on this exciting journey with Hotel Academy Vietnam—the starting point of future hotel managers and the foundation for building a proud and fulfilling career.
