GETTING TO KNOW HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

Growing up has always been a thought in my mind. What do I want to be? What do I want to accomplish?
What would make me happy? They have always been questions I thought about. Now that college has come, these
questions have became much more realistic and planning out my future has become something I need to start doing.
I always have aspirations for myself, and it’s becoming a more realistic situation to reach them.

New places are something I have always had an interest in. Whenever I go to a new place, I always want to
explore everything. Architecture is something that always caught my eye. But being a part of a family that traveled a
lot, my eyes became more enticed. Hotels seem to always spark to my interest because every hotel is special and has
a new environment, new structures and gives me a whole new feeling. I have always been interested in working in
hotels and my favorite kinds to always visit as a child were large resort types, which now makes me interested in
working in resorts and all-inclusive hotels in the near future.

In hospitality industry, it made me realized the concept of hospitality is about receiving guests in a spirit of
goodwill especially strangers from other lands or countries which I think it suits me to do this act of kindness in
welcoming and looking after the basic needs of customers or strangers, mainly in relation to food, drink, and
accommodation. And I believe that the true hospitality is welcoming the stranger on her own terms. This kind of
hospitality can only be offered by those who've found the center of their lives in their own hearts. Hospitality
industry seemed to me a simple combination of hotels and restaurants but after I have been a part of this course, I
have come to realize that there is a lot more to it.

Reading introduction of hospitality industry in advance helps me to gain more knowledge about the four
sectors of hospitality industry. The concepts that I enjoyed to imagined the most were related to hoteling business. I
am personally interested to join the hotel business soon. They said, "Hospitality is simply an opportunity to show
love and care”. Getting involved by this course, I also wanted to learn about the importance of leadership in
hospitality management. And, I hope when I get into the hoteling business, I would try my best to apply the
leadership strategies, especially the strategy of being a leader with a sense of humor.
