Abstract
This report summarizes my 17-week internship experience at Arihant Thailand, a Destination Management Company offering customizable travel packages, hotel reservations, transfers, sightseeing activities, and MICE services across Thailand. During the internship, I worked as a Finance Trainee, where I handled various financial tasks including logging hotel, restaurant, sightseeing, and transfer payments into the system, verifying invoice details, tracking daily and monthly financial records, filing contracts, checking payment slips, and updating consolidated financial sheets such as receivables, ticket sales, commissions, and transport pricing. I also created structured Google Sheets that helped improve accuracy and organization of financial data. Additionally, I occasionally assisted in operational tasks such as guide reports, hotel coordination, and contract filing, providing me with a broader understanding of tourism operations. This internship allowed me to apply academic concepts—such as financial documentation, record-keeping, and payment reconciliation—in a real work setting. It strengthened my technical skills, analytical thinking, attention to detail, and understanding of how financial Accounting and Financial Management Practices at Arihant (Thailand) Company Limited: A Case Study activities support travel operations. Overall, the internship fulfilled its intended objectives and provided me with rewarding, practical, and memorable learning experiences that will support my future career in finance and operations.
