On 16th March 2023, the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management (THM), AIUB organized a field trip to ‘Chuti Resort’ Gazipur with a view to making practical implications on theoretical subjects taught in the classroom. This interesting subject, filled with lots of fun combined with functional attributes turned this day into a fruitful one for THM students.
The Chuti Resort, an exclusive eco-friendly boutique-style resort situated about 18 kilometers from Dhaka International Airport, lies in the beautiful rural environment of Gazipur. This 50-room unique resort is surrounded by a beautiful lake and reserved forest promoting the long-forgotten rural custom of Bangladesh.
The Operations Manager Mr. Nazmul took the team through their daily operational procedure from ‘Greetings to Goodbye’. Students had a valuable collaboration with the operations team of Chuti Resort and identified various aspects of challenges of resort management. Students then visited the resort and analyzed the strategy of destination planning and development. Students also seized the opportunity to visit the local area, taste the local fresh food, shop from local farmers, and realized how the city of Gazipur is becoming a ‘City of Resorts’.
This tour was planned and conducted by THM faculty member Mr. Mahmudul Hasan.
