With more people looking for homes away from home there has been a steady growth of the hospitality industry. The sector that believes the guests to be God, treats all the people as their own.
People keep travelling from place to place looking for a home away from home where he can be treated as a family member. This possibly could be the reason behind the uninhibited rise of the hospitality sector in India and abroad.
What is hospitality?
Hospitality is indeed the relationship between a guest coming from different corners of the world and a host that warmly welcomes it, and the host receives the guest with goodwill, including perfect reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers through various means.
The hospitality industry is a category of fields with a broad bandwidth within the service and tourism industry under the aegis of national and state governments that includes lodging, food, event planning, theme parks, transportation, cruise line, travelling and additional fields within the tourism industry.
Statistics says
As per a report by KPMG which is a professional service company and one of the Big Four auditors, along with Deloitte, Ernst & Young (EY), and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) , the hospitality sector in India is expected to grow at 16.1 per cent CAGR to reach Rs 2,796.9 thousand crores in 2022 which indeed is a healthy rate that paints the graph..
Who work here?
People with specialized skills and training are prefered most in the industry by the recruiters as this industry requires highly skilled professionals to serve the guest with utmost care and skills. This rise in demand for professionals has led to the rise of institutions and training centres around the globe.
