Hospitality sector has achieved more significance in present scenario for handling the
public who travel from one place to another either for some entertainment or for business
purpose. In tourism sector, it also has its importance as it helps in attracting visitors from
overseas nations in country. Integration between both these sectors has created wide

hotels with tour operators have been increased in UK which has transformed business process

benefits. Further, implications of merger and acquisition of both industries are also discussed
with the evaluation of how this integration has influenced a business in hospitality sector. In

to make the business successful and attracting visitors.
