service industry that includes lodging, event planning, theme parks,

amusement park consists of multiple groups such as facility
maintenance, direct operations like servers, housekeepers, porters,
kitchen workers, bartenders, management, marketing, and human
resources etc.

3. Academic establishment changed their views about the nature and quality
of hospitality management education.
On one hand these courses are used to symbolize all that is peculiar
about the new universities, while on the other ignorance of the aims and
content of these programmes leads commentators to assume that students
gain degrees for frying chips and flipping burgers.
It is not accidental that when the creative juices are drying up and there is
a need for a cheap laugh.
Writers have invented course titles such as BA (Hons) Omelette Making
(Brown Shell) as examples of the reduction in education standards and the
introduction of subjects that are not suitable for degree-level education.
