ROMIE DUTT Executive Director, Aamby Valley City & Hotel Sahara Star

From the Executive Director’s Desk

Let me paint you a picture. Imagine it's your first day at A-Star Academy. You spend the morning in a classroom, learning the theoretical aspects of global hospitality. By the afternoon, you find yourself standing in a five-star hotel, in the thick of the action, experiencing the real-world workings of a hotel. From day one at the academy, you begin your life as a hotelier.

A-Star Academy students need not wait for industry experience. We put you in the heart of the action, offering practical insights into the Hospitality Industry.

The future talent that will shape hospitality practices will be born at A-Star Academy. Experiential learning is the only way to teach the dedication and determination needed to be a top hotelier.
