INTRODUCTION
Hospitality is a broad sector that involves lodging, event planning, food and drink service, theme
parks, travel and tourism. There is need of managing the employees in proper manner so that
they are able to carry on the activities effectively (Gupta and et.al., 2019). This report is based on
a reflection related to the experience of forming presentation regarding gender equality.
MAIN BODY
Gender equality is one of the important aspect that must be considered in hospitality
industry. It is important to treat all the people weather men and women equally. It is necessary to
understand the concept of gender equality. At the time of formulating the presentation, I was able
to understand the concept of gender equality in better manner (Coe, Wiley and Bekker, 2019). In
the starting of the project, I was not aware about the issue in broad sense. But the presentation
helped to enhance my knowledge.
I am thankful that I have been given the opportunity to carry on a project related to gender
equality where I am able to understand the concept in proper manner. I conducted proper
research regarding the project that help me to know more issues that are related to gender and
equality. Hospitality is one of the pics sector and includes various hotels dots motors and other
accommodating services to their customers. Today the world is updating and switching towards
digital technology which is necessary aspect. But it the same time there is key role of taking care
of the gender and equality concerns that are being faced by the employees working in hospitality
sector. Since old time the issue of gender equality is observed by the nation (Carli, 2020). The
women candidate is always provided with less opportunities from the beginning. At the time of
conducting research related to gender inequality I was able to know about the education
problems being faced by girl child. The girls are not provided liberty and education rights there
is one of the major discrimination faced by them. The girls and boys are being biased on this
ground and their treated differently by the society.
At the same time there is issue of unemployment inequality being faced by girls. The girls
are not given equal opportunities as the voice and that causes mental pressure on them as well.
There are various laws that are formulated by government but still the problem continues. It is
necessary to provide equal pair to women employee as well. This fight of the qualification they

are not being given equal salary and this causes problem. At the time of conducting research I
read in article where it was mention that in 2018 that there is high pay gap in men and women.
After reading all these articles I am able to know more about the issues faced by women.
There is need of making everyone aware that man and woman are equal and if they are qualified
then they must be provided with the pay that the deserve. It is necessary to provide them
opportunities if they have desired qualification. All the hotels and resorts must provide
opportunity to women and must treat them equally (Falk, and Hermle, 2018). There are certain
job opportunities that require women candidate to carry on the work. But, they are not provided
the opportunity because of the gender inequality.
Yes, I am able to understand the concept better after doing the presentation. I have analysed
that the hospitality industry must understand that in order to carry on their work properly there is
requirement of treating all the man in women working in the organisation equally. This creates
sense of equality in the organisation in all the employees are able to work effectively. Women
staff must also we provided with opportunity to speak in the meetings and give ideas in decision
making. Each and every person must contribute to the decision making and has right to
communicate in the organisation on equal basis. The business organisation must take actions to
encourage the staff members no matter they are men or women. It will motivate the employees to
carry on their work effectively and will be beneficial for the hotel industry as well. The brand
image of the organisation also enhances and the minds of customers also change if they treat all
the working staff equally in the organisation.
CONCLUSION
From the above report, it is concluded that gender inequality is a major concern in today’s
time. There is need of managing the same and taking right actions in order to treat all the
employees equally. In the report there is evaluation of the experience that enhanced the
knowledge regarding gender and equality.
