Abstract
Since the beginning of time, people have understood the definition of hospitality, which includes
welcome, warmth, kindness, and generosity. In the past, people valued hospitality highly for its
impact on their ability to practise their religion. The main motivating factor behind the idea of
hospitality is thought to be religion.Priests, missionaries, and pilgrims made up a large portion of
the travelling public in both ancient and historic times. They travelled to religious sites, holy sites,
and temples that were important to their respective religions. In addition to priests and pilgrims,
other travellers included military personnel and those who travelled for diplomatic or political
purposes. People visit historical sites, tourist destinations, and local attractions for many reasons,
including vacations, business trips, and recreational pursuits. Hotels, resorts, motels, or the homes
of friends and relatives in other locations were thought to be the sites where people slept overnight
while travelling or paying visits since people need accommodation and hospitality when they are
on the road. Understanding the meaning and significance of hospitality management is the main
goal of this research paper. The main areas that have been taken into consideration are the
characteristics of the hospitality industry, the hospitality industry in India, eco-friendly practises in
hospitality management, the skills needed for satisfactory hospitality management, and the role of
the hospitality industry in tourism. Understanding this notion will help you to realise that hotels
and accommodations have a long history, and that Britain's industrial and economic advancements
have shaped them over the years. The relevance of hospitality management was also more
understood as a result of the development of vehicles like motor cars, as people began using them
to travel to far-off locations and other cities when they couldn't be reached by trains. Every tourist
location has a hotel, guest home, or other type of lodging so that visitors can get the proper
hospitality.
