Hospitality Industry
Origin of hospitality industry
A 'hotel' or 'inn' is defined by the British law as 'the place where a bonafide traveller can receive food and shelter provided he is in a position to pay for it and is in a fit condition to be received'. Hence a hotel must provide food and lodging to a traveller on payment and has, in turn, the right to refuse if the traveller is drunk, disorderly or is not in a position to pay for the services.
Early travellers were either warriors, traders or people in search of knowledge. This was before the advent of hotels. Thus, warriors and conquerors pitched their tents for hospitality and sometimes traded their merchandise for lodging.
