Hospitality, nothing strange about that, we all have experienced it at some points in our lives. However, some of us might not know that hospitality has played an important role in many people’s lives over thousands of years. Hospitality changes people’s lives.

If the preferences of the guests corresponds to what we have in the hotel, we could know that those are the guests who belong to our hotel. We have to be able to satisfy the guests completely.

Secondly, this book made me appreciate the broader definition of hospitality applied to relationships, specifically that of parent and children. For the past six months, I have struggled to maintain genuine hospitality with my youngest child who is 24 years old. Nouwen states “the difficult task of parenthood is to help children grow to the freedom that permits them to stand on their own feet, physically, mentally, and spiritually and to allow them to move away in their own direction” (Nouwen, 1975, p. 83). Although my son is an intelligent, independent, Ivy League graduate, it is very difficult for me to “watch” him live in willful contradiction to his Christian life. My challenge is to view my son as a guest and let him go in peace.

Secondly, hospitality is creating a welcoming atmosphere, listening, responding, and welcoming ideas from all people with an open mind. In class we discussed the social construction of gender. We must eliminate this to create a sense of hospitality. Men are closed minded and don’t realize what women have to deal with on a daily basis. We need to broaden our horizons

When people socialize at a dinner for example and invite someone over its because we are attempting to care for them as we are inviting them into our homes and confiding and trusting them with the meal provided to them. Also, providing a place at the dinner table welcomes someone into his or her

Those who make a habit out of traveling the world, more often than not, become more of an extrovert than they may have been prior to their many journeys. It is no secret that those who make the choice to travel more often have a bit of extroversion in them, however, even the least social of any group typically find a way out of their shell when traveling. No matter the destination, it is the various interactions with people from foreign backgrounds, beliefs and cultures that present a challenge to the normality that most individuals cling to. These initial interactions create a comfortability, or openness rather, to engage with new people and see humankind through an altered, more optimistic lens than once

The first part of hospitality is shown in the house of Telemachus. It is abused here by all the suitors. Telemachus becomes angry and says “For all the greatest men who have the power in the islands, in Doulichion and Same and in wooded Zakynthos, and all who in rocky Ithaka are holders of lordships, all these are after my mother for marriage, and wear my house out. And she does not

The theme of the Odyssey that I’m gonna talk about is Hospitality. In The Odyssey, Hospitality is used many times from when they left Ithaca to when they come back from Troy and other places they had to cross upon. Example of Hospitality is when Ulysses with the Phaeacians, When Telemachus in Sparta, Circe and Circe and Calypso, and the last one when Penelope to the suitors. When Ulysses with the Phaeacians is the example of Hospitality because when they found Ulysses next the sea shore they didn’t know he was the king of Ithaca but they still treated him kindly and gave him food and clothes. They even took him to Ithaca without him even saying a word about him being a king or Ulysses.

There are many settings within the Odyssey that contain both positive and negative connotations of hospitality, and it is important to explore both sides and see how they relate to each other.

After working for 3 years, I was burnt out at work and wanted to rediscover myself and I could only think of travelling. But I always had this feeling that something is wrong. Neither I’d the money nor intention of wanderlust. I was just lost or maybe I want freedom of expression without being ending up in jail. I don’t know it yet. But one thing was sure and that was: I want to experience the world through the eyes of others. Living the lives of others or living with them provides you a window to enter their lives. I have always believed that travel breaks you free. My mind was conditioned to travel. I had changed almost a dozen schools by the time I completed my graduation. Oh boy!

The hotel strives to accommodate all of its guests needs by identifying them and acknowledging the fact that

These findings specify an optimistic relation between hospitality, guest fulfilment, and the hotel servicescape, the second of which is the mediator working here. This supports the positive relations between hospitality and guest fulfilment. In today’s highly modest hospitality business, the communication between customer service and attractive service atmosphere will increase the level of guest fulfilment significantly. The relation between the perceptible as well as the imperceptible elements of service contributions will positively make the service skill more pleasurable and impressive for the guests.
