Besides these new hotels, there are many other hotels which boast of a long history in every city that you
will visit. Hotels are to be found in every country of the world,
in any city with a population of over 10,000 and, very commonly, in
places with fewer than 500 inhabitants. It is no wonder that hotel-keeping ranks high among the largest worldwide industries. Although there are no reliable
world statistics or figures available, an overall view of the industry
as it exists in the United States should provide a good picture of
the magnitude of this business.
 Hotels that offer more complex services need additional departments.
Luxury resort properties may employ people to organize and supervise
recreational activities. Large city hotels often have a separate convention
department to handle conferences and other group meetings. Additional
staff will be required if the hotel has onsite stores, concessions
and garage facilities. |
