INDUSTRY PROFILE

The hospitality industry consists of broad category of fields within the service industry that
includes lodging, restaurants, event planning, theme parks, transportation, cruise line, and
additional fields within the tourism industry. The hospitality industry is a several billion dollar
industry that mostly depends on the availability of leisure time and disposable income. A
hospitality unit such as a restaurant, hotel, or even an amusement park consists of multiple
groups such as facility maintenance, direct operations (servers, housekeepers, porters, kitchen
workers, bartenders, etc.), management, marketing, and human resources.
The hospitality industry covers a wide range of organizations offering food service and
accommodation. The hospitality industry is divided into sectors according to the skill-sets
required for the work involved. Sectors include accommodation, food and beverage, meeting and
events, gaming, entertainment and recreation, tourism services, and visitor information

Competition & Usage Rate

Usage rate is an important variable for the hospitality industry. Just as a factory owner would
wish to have his or her productive asset in use as much as possible (as opposed to having to pay
fixed costs while the factory isn't producing), so do restaurants, hotels, and theme parks seek to
maximize the number of customers they "process" in all sectors. This led to formation of services
with the aim to increase usage rate provided by hotel consolidators. Information about required
or offered products are brokered on business networks used by vendors as well as purchasers.[1]

In viewing various industries, "barriers to entry" by newcomers and competitive advantages

between current players are very important. Among other things, hospitality industry players find
advantage in old classics (location), initial and ongoing investment support (reflected in the
material upkeep of facilities and the luxuries located therein), and particular themes adopted by
the marketing arm of the organization in question (such as a restaurant called the 51st fighter
group that has a WW2 theme in music and other environmental aspects). Very important is also
the characteristics of the personnel working in direct contact with the customers. The
authenticity, professionalism, and actual concern for the happiness and well-being of the
customers that is communicated by successful organizations is a clear competitive advantage.
