About AIHM
The Asian Institute of Hospitality & Management (AIHM) is an independent academic institution founded in Bangkok, established in academic association with Les Roches, one of the world’s most respected names in Swiss hospitality education. AIHM combines Swiss rigour with Thai warmth, delivering internationally recognised education in global hospitality and business management.
As part of Minor International, a global leader in hospitality, restaurants, and lifestyle brands, AIHM gives students direct access to industry expertise, preferred employment status, and a professional network of almost 80,000 people across six continents.
Based in Bangkok, the business capital of Southeast Asia, students build careers alongside their degrees. Learning at AIHM happens not only in the classroom but through practice, reflection, and engagement with the industry, taught by lecturers who have lived the profession they teach. The institution’s identity rests on academic excellence, cultural diversity, and practical application.
Above all, AIHM is student-centric. Every decision is made in the service of student success, which means holding students to high standards and asking for their best, because that is what prepares them to lead.
Our Vision
Establish AIHM as Asia's first choice for hospitality and business management education.
Being Asia’s first choice means students come to AIHM not for a qualification alone, but for the confidence, network, and industry readiness that set them on the path to leadership.
Our Mission
Train and develop the future hospitality and business leaders across Asia.
AIHM does this through education that is practical, international, and built for the real world. Everything AIHM does is for the benefit of its students, preparing them to succeed.
We are committed to:
- Delivering education that is rigorous, relevant, and rooted in real-world application.
- Fostering global citizenship by equipping students with cross-cultural understanding and international career pathways.
- Supporting the hospitality and service industries by providing well-prepared graduates who are ready to contribute from day one.
- Encouraging innovation, creativity, and adaptability in a rapidly evolving global marketplace.
Our Motto
AIHM Higher
AIHM Higher isn’t just a motto, it’s a mindset. It’s the belief that every student is capable of more than they realise. Higher ambitions. Higher standards. A higher version of themselves. In hospitality, that means striving for excellence, pushing boundaries, and raising standards, from Thailand to the world. AIHM Higher is our promise to every student: that we will never stop pushing for more, and neither will you.

Our Values
Five values. One direction.
These five values belong to everyone at AIHM, faculty, team, and students alike. They shape how we teach, how we learn, and how we hold one another to account. They are as much what we expect of each other as what we promise to deliver.
Aspiration
Aim higher, always.
We set high expectations, and then we help our students exceed them. We hold students to demanding standards because their success comes first, and everything we ask of them is in the service of preparing them to lead.
Ambition
Built for the top.
Every graduate leaves AIHM with the skills, network, and confidence to aim for the highest levels of their industry. We equip students with what they need to compete, and win, in top-tier hospitality roles around the world.
Quality
No shortcuts. Ever.
From how we teach to how we support our students day to day, quality is never an afterthought. It shows in our curriculum, our faculty, our campus environment, and in the calibre of every graduate we produce.
Community
Together, we go further.
A diverse, close-knit community built on mutual respect, integrity, and genuine care for one another. Our students come from across the globe and leave as lifelong friends and professional allies.
Leadership
The world needs better leaders. We build them.
We don’t just teach leadership, we create the conditions for it to grow. From day one, students are challenged, supported, and inspired to step up, speak out, and lead with purpose.
