About Us

Our story

The Australian Hospitality Alumni Network in Vietnam (AHA Vietnam) was founded in 2014 by Camellia Dinh, an Australian hospitality alumnus from the Blue Mountains International Hotel Management School to build a platform for Australian hospitality graduates and connect them to the right resources for information and support for their career opportunities and growth.

The hospitality and tourism industry in Vietnam has experienced impressive growth, yet there are many challenges in emerging markets such as a shortage of high-quality and skilled hospitality labor and outdated application of information technology. As for AHA Vietnam, although Camellia had spent a certain effort to raise awareness, the project was abandoned due to a lack of resources, support, and engagement. 

In 2021, given the serious impacts on the hospitality and tourism industry caused by the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) with millions of workers have lost their jobs or have working hours reduced, establishing a professional hospitality alumni network is a way to create an effective Covid-19 recovery plan towards sustainable development of the industry. 

Australian Hospitality Alumni Network in Vietnam is now professionally run by an executive committee with board members and staff, industry experts, and community leaders to connect our exclusive members to future Career Opportunities, Education Support, Scholarships, Migration Services, and Investment Advisory and Social Projects.

Moving forward 

We would like to connect with all hospitality professionals, hoteliers, investors, educators, and Australian alumni who are part of the Australia-Vietnam hospitality, events, aviation, and tourism network. You are most welcome to be part of the project, as an alumnus, a community leader, an expert, a sponsor, or a partner.
