Scott Michael Smith
Starwood Hotels and Resorts, Skål International Thailand and Worldwide
Destinations Asia Co. Ltd, joined tourism professionals at a recent seminar
for future leaders from the Mahidol University International College
Division of Tourism and Hospitality Management.
The seminar began with a presentation by Justin Malcom, GM of the Aloft
Hotel, Bangkok. Malcom delivered a lively presentation regarding the
Starwood brands and the career opportunities with Starwood Hotels and
Resorts. The presentation was informative and entertaining and left many
students from Scott Smith’s Managing Package Tourism course considering
future internships and careers with one of the 9 Starwood brands.
After a fantastic buffet lunch at Aloft’s Crave Restaurant, Pichai
Visutriratana, Director, Worldwide Destinations Asia Co. Ltd, shared his
experiences with the students. Pichai’s insights and advice regarding a
career in the tourism industry was well received by the students. His
presentation regarding tour operations and career possibilities was
practical, educational and thought provoking.
Skål International - Thailand President Andrew J Wood’s sage advice to the
students reflects his years of experience as a leading hotelier. President
Andrew’s presentation regarding international tourism arrivals to Thailand
focused on the rise of the Chinese tourist and the incredible opportunities
and growth of this market. Andrew wrapped up the session by introducing Skål
International and encouraging students to invest in their professional
development.
Scott Smith expressed his appreciation by saying, “What an honour it is to
be able to introduce future leaders from MUIC’s Division of Hospitality and
Tourism to today’s tourism leaders. It’s wonderful to have industry leaders
return to the classroom to lecture, mentor and inspire. President Andrew
Woods’s introduction to Skål International allows the best and the brightest
the opportunity to attend local Skål events and create networks that can
forever change the trajectory and velocity of these student’s careers.”
