Introduction
The industry of hospitality is one of the most successful as well as the most rapidly developing
industries around the globe. This industry is however, one of the additional fields of the tourism
sector. This extension of the tourism sector provides various services to tourists and travelers
around the world such as transportation services, accommodation facilities, refreshment and food
services, theme park and cruise line services and many other related services. This report has
been prepared while working in the role of Junior Consultant in PKF Hotelexperts, which is
concerned with leisure and tourism consulting (Pkfhotels.com, 2018). The report will be
discussing about the role that hospitality industry plays in the success and operations of the
sector of tourism. It will be evaluating the different kinds of integrations that have taken place in
the hospitality industry and the inference of these integrations to the industry, specifically
tourism businesses. In this report, discussions are also going to be made on the development of a
successful hospitality business with following the three main stages of developing any hospitality
project.

Task 1
1.1 Discuss the interrelationships between hospitality and wider travel and tourism
businesses
The industry of hospitality is the additional
field or simply an extension of the travel and
tourism sector. This is because the activities,
products and services of the travel and
tourism sector are linked with the ones of
the hospitality sector and vice versa. In order
to understand this interrelationship, it is
important to understand the composition of
both the industries.
The composition of the hospitality sector is
as follows -
 Hotels (bed and breakfast hotels,
budgeted hotels, hotels of 1 star, 2
star, up to 5 star)
 Pubs, nightclubs and bars
 Restaurants (fine dining restaurants,
fast food centers, cafeterias, coffee
shops as well as mainstream
restaurants)
 Hospitality services (in house
managed and normal catering
services)
 Membership clubs (where people can
become members and visit them for
various hospitality services such as
food and drinks)
 Contractual food providers
(providers of food based on contracts
between customers and food
providers)
However, the composition of the travel and
tourism sector is different from the
composition of the hospitality industry. The
composition of the tourism sector can be
understood from the points stated below -
 Travelling services (services that are
provided by tour operators, retail
sales tour providers as well as
ticketing agencies)
 Tourism services (leisure, adventure,
responsible, eco tourism, customized
and other types of tourism providers)
 Conferences and events (incentive
travelling, exhibition and event
organizers to arrange different events
or conferences for travelers)
 Accommodation facilities (villas,
holiday center, guest house, caravan
park, motel and apartments where
tourists can make a stay )
 Passenger transportation facilities
(cruise, ferries, buses, cars, boats,
