Exploring a green resort space, experiencing professional service standards, and learning about the operational model of a luxury resort — these were the key takeaways for third-year students of Tourism and Travel Service Management and Hotel Management at Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) during their field trip to An Lam Retreats Saigon River (Binh Duong) on August 8.
During the welcome session, representatives of An Lam Retreats provided an overview of the brand and its operational philosophy. Unlike traditional hotel models, An Lam Retreats focuses on developing green resorts that offer tranquil spaces and healing experiences for guests, thereby establishing a unique path in the development of the hospitality and tourism sector.

Following the sharing session, the students embarked on a guided tour of the resort’s grounds, led by the An Lam Retreats staff. They learned about spatial arrangements, the harmonious blend of architecture and nature, and how each area is designed to optimize the guest experience. From the elegant dining atmosphere of Sen Restaurant, the versatile event hall, and the welcoming boat dock, to the private accommodation of the Garden House, every destination vividly reflected An Lam Retreats’ distinctive service philosophy and operational style.

This model not only provides healthy culinary value but also reflects An Lam Retreats’ commitment to sustainable development and environmental protection.
