If you’re dreaming of working in luxury hotels across Thailand, the Maldives, the UAE, or Oman, we’ve got news: it’s not just about Front Office or F&B anymore.
Hospitality in 2025 is evolving—fast. Behind-the-scenes roles are becoming just as essential as guest-facing ones. And guess what? That means huge opportunities for interns who are open-minded, curious, and ready to explore non-traditional paths.
Here are 5 underrated—but seriously in-demand—roles that RMC Asia is actively recruiting for (yes, that means you should totally apply 👇).
Sales and Marketing
Love social media, branding, or organizing events? Sales and marketing in hospitality is where strategy meets creativity. Think digital campaigns, guest loyalty programs, influencer partnerships, and market research to attract global travelers. Hotels need fresh voices who understand modern trends, and who better than Gen Z?
Why this matters: You’ll help shape how luxury hotels present themselves to the world and create memorable guest journeys even before they check in.
✨ RMC Asia Insight: Help hotels go viral, build campaigns, or support partnerships that drive real bookings.
Human Resources
Think HR is just paperwork? Think again. Hospitality HR is all about building positive workplace culture, supporting staff well-being, and making sure the right people are in the right roles.
If you’re a great communicator, love people, and want to make a real impact behind the scenes—this role is calling your name.
Why this matters: You’ll be helping hotels create better team dynamics, train new staff, and promote inclusive, efficient environments.
✨ RMC Asia Tip: If you’re a people-person who loves workplace culture and learning what makes teams click—this one’s for you.
Revenue Management
This one’s for the strategy lovers and data nerds. Revenue managers help hotels set the right prices, forecast demand, and boost profits—all using real-time data and market trends.
Why this matters: You’ll gain sharp business skills that go way beyond hospitality—skills that could land you jobs in airlines, resorts, or even finance sectors.
✨ RMC Asia Pro Tip: This is one of the most future-focused departments in hospitality. High-level stuff = high impact.
Finance
Prefer spreadsheets over social media? A finance internship at a luxury hotel gives you the inside scoop on budgeting, cost control, payroll, and financial planning.
Why this matters: Behind every great guest experience is a well-run operation—and you could help keep it profitable and efficient.
RMC Asia Advice: If Excel is your love language, this is your dream placement.
Leisure and Spa
Wellness is the new luxury, and hotels want to wow guests with spa treatments, yoga sessions, and personalized wellness experiences.
Why it matters:
Post-pandemic travelers are prioritizing feeling good, and this role helps you deliver just that.
✨ RMC Asia Pro Tip: You don’t need to be a spa therapist—just passionate about wellness and guest care.
