Angliss International Hotel School students learnt about five-star sustainability in the luxury hotel industry during a five day study tour of Singapore. The group attended multicultural tours, engaged in industry presentations and familiarisations of the prestigious Marina Bay Sands, PanPacific, JW Marriott and PARKROYAL on Pickering hotels.

The group were taken on a hotel tour and discussed specific examples of sustainability throughout the hotel. The masterclass concluded with a morning tea and networking session, hotel staff and students shared their experiences and career goals.
As an essential part of the study tour itinerary, the students were given in-depth back and front of house tours of five-star hotels Marina Bay Sands, PanPacific and JW Marriott.
