Introduction to Hospitality
Hospitality is the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests,
visitors, or strangers. The word 'hospitality' is derived from the Latin word'hospes',
meaning "host, guest, or stranger'. Hospitality can also be defined as taking
care of your guests and anticipating their needs. The service industry, in a broad
sense, includes any industry providing the concept of hospitality such as tourism,
entertainment, transportation or lodging including hotels, cruise liners, airlines,
railways, car rental companies and tour operators. It is also an industry made
up of businesses that provide lodging, food and other services to travellers. The
main components of this industry are hotels, motels, inns, resorts and restaurants.
Today, the hotel industry is the largest sector of the service industry, offering this
concept of hospitality. Hence, the hotel industry is commonly referred to as the
hospitality industry.
The hotel industry is one of the oldest industries in the world. It has developed
and progressed with the travel and tourism industry. In early days, traders,
explorers, missionaries and pilgrims needed a break in their journeys requiring
food, shelter and rest. People opened their homes and kitchens to these weary
travellers, and an industry was born. Although accommodation today is varied
and their services have changed and expanded over the ages, one thing about the
hospitality industry has remained the same - guests are always welcome. From
a friendly greeting at the door, room service, breakfast
, to a host of facilities the
hospitality industry offers travellers a home away from home'.
