1 . Discuss what composes the tourism and hospitality industry.

The tourism and hospitality industry is a broad industry that encompasses all
economic activities that contribute to or rely on travel and tourism, either directly or
indirectly. Hotels and Resorts are included in this industry category. Catering and
restaurants Nightclubs and Bars

Accommodation, restaurant services, and tourist planning, management, and


marketing are the three primary areas of activity in the tourism and hospitality business.
Tourism and hospitality support the growth of other businesses such as land and air
transportation, as well as the cultural and leisure industries. Hospitality and tourism is a
vast sector that includes tourism and other hospitality-related industries. Tourism firms
are officially classified as hospitality enterprises since they make income via excellent
customer service. They must make their visitors feel welcome and enjoy themselves.
Otherwise, those guests would not return, and some may tell their friends or family
members about their terrible experience.

All hospitality organizations, including those not in the tourist industry, operate in
a similar manner, emphasizing the necessity of good, pleasant customer service.

Definition of Tourism

A social, cultural and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of


people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or
business/professional purposes. These people are called visitors (which may be either
tourists or excursionists; residents or non-residents) and tourism has to do with their
activities, some of which imply tourism expenditure.
If it all seems a little overwhelming, it might be helpful to break tourism down into
broad industry groups, each of which will be covered in this chapter:
● Accommodation and Lodging
● Food and Beverage Services (F & B)
● Recreation and Entertainment
● Convention & Event Management
● Travel Services
● Private Clubs

The Hospitality Industry

When looking at tourism it is important to consider the term hospitality. Some


define hospitality as “the business of helping people to feel welcome and relaxed and to
enjoy themselves.” Simply put, the hospitality industry is the combination of the
accommodation and food and beverage groupings, collectively making up the largest
segment of the industry.

The types of employees and resources required to run an accommodation


business — whether it be a hotel, motel, or even a campground — are quite similar. All
these businesses need staff to check in guests, provide housekeeping, employ
maintenance workers, and provide a place for people to sleep. As such, they can be
grouped together under the heading of accommodation and lodging.
