Inside Dubai: the Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management
Chris · March 20, 2007
One of the fastest growing tourism destinations in the world is Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Projects like the Palm (largest man made island), Burj Dubai (tallest building in the world), Dubailand (largest theme and sports park in the world) and the Dubai Mega Mall, (largest shopping mall in the world) are a testament to Dubai’s flourishing and extravagant development initiatives.
Dubai has over 100 hotels planned and under development making it an exciting place to be for hoteliers. Virtually every major luxury brand in the world has a presence in Dubai, with many more hotel developments en route.
The Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management is a hotel & travel management school located in Dubai. The school produced a video that features interviews with some of their students. The video offers an interesting glimpse into the dynamic hotel scene in Dubai.
For those of you who might be interested in attending the Emirates Academy Hotel Management Program, you’ll have to shell out approximately $70K CAD for your tuition (7 semesters) and hotel uniforms, books etc. plus the cost of accommodation, meals, student visa and transportation. There is also an internship component to their management program.
Regardless of your interest in the hotel school, the video is a fun peek into the organization, and the Dubai hotel scene. I also recommend that you check out an insider hotel blog by an anonymous local Dubai hotel employee at Back of House in DXB.
