1. Work with your team and research sample hospitality and tourism-related
contracts. Observe and evaluate how these were written and developed.

My observation of contract are written between two people who sign them freely they
contain all of the information that can only be obtained via a business. The implication
of contract law to the tourism and hospitality industry are extensive any contact signed
needs to have unambiguous terms be clearly accepted have an exchange of value and
be signed by an adult with full mental capacity or by an authorized signatory of the
organization.

2. Based on your observation and what you have learned about obligations and
contracts, draft a sample contract (e.g., purchasing contract, catering
contract) assuming you own a tourism and hospitality-related business.

SUMMARY OF THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF THE CONTRACT

I assumed that there are a number of criteria and components we need to take into account
when creating a contract to make it legally enforceable in a court of law because we investigated
and produced a contract relating to the tourist and hospitality business, specifically a catering
contract. In general, a genuine contract can only be considered to exist when both parties sign it
after the offer has been accepted. A contract will also take a while to complete since both
parties must concur on its terms and circumstances before it can be recognized by governing
legal authorities and put into effect.
