Siam University was founded in 1965 by the late Dr. Narong Mongkhonvanit as the first 3-year private engineering school in Thailand. It began by educating a student body of only two hundred, offering only one program, Mechanical Technical Power, which led to the equivalent of an associate’s degree (two-year) in the United States by virtue of the Thai Private School Act. In 1973 the Siam Technical College, was formally established as a private, higher education institution with the authorization to grant degrees. Soon after, in 1975, the university launched programs leading to a bachelors’ degree in Accounting, Marketing or Secretarial Science. Within those programs, students majored in banking, finance, personnel management or marketing. Later, in 1986, Siam Technical College became Siam Technical University, and three years later became ‘Siam University’ to show diversity in fields of study. Over nearly five decades of steady growth and development, driven by a devotion to academic excellence, Siam University has contributed more than 60,000 graduates in various fields to Thailand’s national work force as well as other countries around the world. In fact, it has become the fifth largest private university with a student body containing over 15,000 students across eight schools, including an International and Graduate Program.

The Sri Lanka Tourism Alliance was founded in 2019 by a group of private sector leaders that came together to launch Love Sri Lanka, a consumer website to promote travel to Sri Lanka. Since then, the group has rallied the support of over 400 tourism businesses in Sri Lanka and overseas to share a simple, yet profound message that Sri Lanka is Open, Sri Lanka is Safe and Love Sri Lanka.

In September 2019, the Alliance launched a Resilience Action Plan  committing to build back the tourism industry stronger than before. In this plan, the Alliance also committed to a clear vision and values, and ensured it can pivot and execute quickly with new and existing plans to support private sector industry partners.

Today, the Alliance has a strong focus on supporting and uniting all Sri Lankan Tourism related industries. The projects and activities being carried out can be viewed here. Above all, the Alliance continues to be an example of the immensity of things that can be achieved when people come together.
