THE HISTORY OF HOTEL & RESTAURANT MANAGEMENT
I observed that Travelers throughout the world have always sought hospitable places to rest and eat. Although modern hotels feature conveniences such as televisions, en-suite showers and minibars, they fulfill the same purpose as ancient rooms and boarding houses. The history of hotel and restaurant management goes back many years but has always involved the essential concept of hospitality. The term "hospitality" derives from "hospice," meaning a place of rest for travelers.

EUROPE
In the Middle Ages, European monasteries and abbeys first opened their doors to offer hospitality to travelers. Over time, business people took over the management of many of these inns. During the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution heralded the opening of hotels in Europe's major cities. The owners of many of these hotels aimed to attract wealthy travelers by building intricate and ornate buildings. Throughout the 20th century, hotels sprang up across Europe in mountain and resort regions. The European hospitality industry is a growing industry and encourages its managers to develop an international approach to hotel and restaurant management.
