Hospitality is one of the most important sectors of any economy, as it is shaped by social needs. Accordingly, it covers a wide range of areas.
The hospitality sector therefore includes numerous services and facilities, such as:
- Food and beverage (restaurants, bars, nightclubs, kiosks, catering);
- Accommodation (hotels, hostels, motels, B&Bs, farm stays);
- Event organization and festivals;
- Health and relaxation (thermal spas, spa & wellness centers);
- Tourism (organization of seasonal and business trips, cruises, excursions, team building, school trips, pilgrimages);
- Theme parks, camps, and resorts (for children, youth, and adults).
The hospitality industry is thus highly diversified and, in Europe and worldwide, is commonly referred to by the umbrella term HORECA, which is also widely used here. This name is in fact an acronym denoting services in the hotel, restaurant, and café sectors (HoReCa: hotel / restaurant / café).
The English word for hospitality, hospitality /ˌhɒspɪˈtæləti/, is derived from the Latin form hospes, which means host, guest, or stranger.
What is indispensable in hospitality?
As an industry directly tied to people and their well-being, hospitality places strong emphasis on hygiene across all rooms, shared-use areas, and surfaces.
Caring for guests’ personal hygiene is one of management’s top priorities. Accordingly, they strive to procure—on time—all equipment needed for the smooth, hygienic use of restrooms, dining areas, and other spaces.
This includes:
- Paper towel dispensers (C-/Z-fold, roll, center-pull, autocut [self-cutting]);
- Toilet paper dispensers (sheets, rolls);
- Hand-hygiene dispensers (liquid soap, foam soap, sanitizing liquids and gels);
- DUO towel & soap dispensers;
- Dispensers for paper toilet-seat covers;
- Toilet brushes;
- Waste bins;
- Air fresheners.
Beyond purchasing quality devices, managers must also ensure a regular supply of consumable materials so they’re always available to users.
Only then will a facility fully deliver on its purpose: meeting needs for accommodation, food, beverages, comfort and ambiance and more.
By providing a comprehensive, rich experience, the venue will grow and be recognized as a trusted choice one that guests with high expectations happily return to and gladly recommend to friends and colleagues.
