A promo video of the Emirates Academy of Hospitality Management in Dubai. The Academy is located near Jumeirah Beach and belongs to the Jumeirah Group of Hotels. The video also promotes the Jumeirah properties like the Burj al Arab, Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Emirates Towers, etc and is mainly a marketing video with student testimonials and feature overviews. The Emirates Academy is one of the main hotel schools available in Dubai and has an affiliation with the Ecole Hotelerie de Lausanne (EHL) in Switzerland. The costs however are extremely high and for a little extra, most parents would opt to send their children to Switzerland or elsewhere in Europe / USA to complete their hotel management studies. A majority of the students in the Academy are from overseas, since Dubai offers a good sunny vacation while studying here and the Jumeirah group absorbs trainees and employees during and after their studies.
