INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL VISIT
1. THE ZIGN HOTEL, THAILAND
Visiting The Zign Hotel, Bangkok during the educational trip to Thailand, was an eye-opening opportunity for the students of SBIHM to understand how an international hotel maintains its standards, guest services, and overall operations. Students were divided into small groups & escorted by one faculty member & guided by highly skilled hotel professionals so that they can understand all the departments better. Our students explored all major operational departments. At the Front Office, they learned how the team manages check-ins, guest inquiries, and reservations smoothly, even during peak hours. At the Housekeeping Department, where the supervisors explained their cleaning procedures, room inspection methods, and how they maintain such high standards of hygiene and comfort. The tour also included insights into their banquet operations. The highlight of this visit was interacting with the hotel’s management team. They shared valuable ideas about career growth, international hospitality trends, and the skills needed to succeed in this field. Their guidance motivated our students to work harder and prepare ourselves for future opportunities.
