Hospitality may be one of the most exciting industries to work but as Asha Khan reports, it isn't an easy life.

The hospitality industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. It offers some exciting careers and a lot of job satisfaction. But it isn't easy working in a hotel – the peak holiday season is hard work, with employees often working long hours and sometimes seven days a week.

Teamwork

Every member of staff, from the housekeeper to the hotel manager, is responsible for the hotel. In smaller hotels and motels one manager is usually responsible for rooms, the food and beverage service, registration and general management. There is a wide variety of jobs in larger hotels, including administration jobs such as accountant and marketing executive.

Benefits

Hotel employees get paid sick leave and holidays as well as other benefits like free food and, occasionally, free holidays! Many hotels also offer free or cheap live-in accommodation and have resident managers and concierges.

People

The hospitality industry is different from other industries. Hospitality is people dealing with people, from the porter to the hotel manager. If you don't like people, this isn't the career for you.
