Gourt > Business > Hospitality (122)
The act or practice of being hospitable, that is, the reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers, with liberality and goodwill. Hospitality frequently refers to the hospitality industry jobs for hotels, restaurants, casinos, catering, resorts, clubs and any other service position that deals with tourists.
Hospitality as a sociological phenomenon
As hospitality is a sociological phenomenon, and because its norms differ in each society, there might be:
- Christian view of hospitality,
- Middle Eastern(Arab) rules of hospitality,
- Greek hospitality (Xenia is Greek hospitality, but not necessarily norms that Arabs follow),
- and any other hospitality norms that differ in various world cultures,
- and very contemporary, in virtual communities like Wikipedia.
Contemporary Usage
Contemporary usage seems rather different from historical uses that lend it personal connotations. Today's hospitality conjures images of throwing good parties, gracious hosts entertaining, etiquette, Martha Stewart or even talk shows, or, the hospitality services industry as it relates to the entertainment and tourism business. On the other hand, hospitality used to be, and may still be, a serious personal duty or responsibility. More on [ Hospitality ]
