communities throughout the world.
TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY DEFINED
• Tourism is travel for pleasure or business; also the theory and practice
of touring, the business of attracting, accommodating, and
entertaining tourists, and the business of operating tours.
• Hospitality is the relationship between a guest and a host, wherein
the host receives the guest with some amount of goodwill, including
the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.
Louis, chevalier de Jaucourt describes hospitality in the Encyclopédie
as the virtue of a great soul that cares for the whole universe through
the ties of humanity.[4] Hospitality is also the way people treat others,
that is, the service of welcoming receiving guests for example in
hotels. Hospitality plays a fundamental role to augment or decrease
the volume of sales of an organization.
NEEDS OF HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
• There are two basic needs that fuel the demand for tourism. One is
the curiosity, desire or need to visit and see different tourist places;
know, experience & see natural wonders of places, cultures, etc.
Second is to travel.
• Whatever aspect of the tourism sector your business is involved in,
you need to keep your finger on the pulse. Formerly beloved concepts
and products go out of style, to be replaced by more modern
elements that end up capturing more of the market. New
destinations, new technologies and means of transport have caused
major shifts in the industry. Early adoption of new trends is vital.
