What are the advantages of hospitality and

tourism industry?
Originally Answered: What are the impacts of tourism and
hospitality?

Importance of tourism and Hospitality

Tourism and hospitality play a very important role

in an economy. The needed foreign exchange is
often brought in by tourists who pay for visits to
different tourist destinations. Realising the
potential of the tourism and hospitality sectors to
generate revenue for the economy, most
governments have put in place measures to
conserve wildlife and nature generally.

Tourism and hospitality can be very cardinal in

cultural exchange. People often learn something
about differences in cultures from countries that
they visit. Residents of those countries of
destination also learn a lot about other countries
and cultures from tourists.

Due to the differences in race, ethnicity and

culture; we often have prejudice about people
from other places and are often more reserved in
our interactions with them. There is a lot of
suspicion about foreigners. In some countries this
has led to xenophobic attacks on such people.
Even terrorism can mostly be attributed to
prejudice and misunderstanding of other cultures.

The tourism and hospitality industry can play a

very big role in promoting interaction of people of
various backgrounds, cultures and races. This
interaction leads to a better understanding and
appreciation of other cultures which can in turn
lead to the promotion of peace, harmony and
coexistence among peoples. Based on this it can
be said that tourism and hospitality can promote
unity in diversity.

Countries that have a closed system are most

likely to have citizens who are narrow minded and
very prejudiced.

The barriers that mankind has been erecting over

many centuries can be effectively removed by
promoting tourism and hospitality. This industry
enhances globalization of cultures and
economies. It is a fact that cannot be
overemphasized that we are living in a global
village with common problems and threats though
some may not realize it.

I believe that tourism and hospitality can greatly

contribute to unity and cooperation among
nations and a realisation that though diverse, God
made all nations from one blood.

However, tourism and hospitality have also their

fair share of negative consequences. This is more
pronounced when we look at the effect of sex
tourism on host countries, especially on areas
frequented by sex tourists. Reference can be
made to the spread of the HIV/AIDS pandemic
which is so prevalent in poorer countries.

Though the first documented case may not

necessarily be from these countries, they are
disproportionately bearing the heavy burden of
this disease. Who can deny that tourism and
hospitality played a facilitative role in spreading
this disease?

Tourism and hospitality can be implicated as

some of the major causes of moral decay and
juvenile delinquency, which are so prevalent in our
societies. Nevertheless, there are factors other
than these twin industries that have contributed
to this scourge. The entertainment industry can
be the major one.

Just like any other subject, tourism and hospitality

have their own virtues and flaws or costs and
benefits. It is up to the authorities to regulate this
industry and safeguard the welfare of host
nations. Indeed this industry can be leveraged
and harnessed to better our environments and
the standards of living of host countries. The
onus to realise this dream lies on governments
and relevant authorities.

What are the advantages and

disadvantages of working in the hotel
industry?
Hotel industry is one of the industries where
passion outshines every other attribute for a
worker. If you are passionate enough, you'll
definitely treat your guests well.

The advantages include a relative lack of stress

as the work is always in front of you and there's
no long term projects or such to worry about.

The fact that this industry requires a lot of

interaction with the customer makes it an ideal
job for people who are willing to socialize.

The pay might be measly at first but booms with

the advancement of skill like almost no other
industry. Infact, one can easily think of setting up
a business once he's worked a few years to learn.

There are always avenues to explore with almost

every hotel requiring great staff. Apprenticeships
are very common.

There's always a chance to get to know the

unknown with travel and interaction.

Disadvantages would include a long period of

time with minimal or even no pay until a relatively
long time.

Without an emphasis on quality, there is almost

no scope for furthering someone's career in this
field.

If someone is bad at the business or experiences

a relatively bad time, the recovery curve is
incredibly steep.

There's no assembly line system like in IT sector

where every few years you could reasonably
expect a promotion. You'll need to prove your
worth.

Finally, since this industry requires a lot of

interaction with the customers, there might be
situations where they are rude or annoying. Even
disrespectful. But there needs to be that inner
strength to just get on with it.

1.Notional superiority:

Amongst the four core areas of the hotel viz. food

production, food and beverage service,
housekeeping and front office, the latter is
considered to be a white-collar job.

2. Less manual work:

As compared to other departments, manual work

What are the advantages and

disadvantages of technology during this
time of pandemic in the hospitality
industry?
I’m a big fan of technology but a strong
resistance to it being applied without reason.

Contactless payment is great and the limits on

minimum value have been dropped to near zero. If
you use a wallet on your smart phone you get to
see your spend stored. This is great for keeping
your accounts up to date.

Ordering apps. Great if you have a common
