The Experience Economy On The Hospitality Industry

The hospitality industry is a very lucrative and rewarding career choice. Choosing a career in this field is not for the faint at heart. A career in this industry requires an individual that is ambitious, self-motivated, and has a charismatic personality. However, the hard work comes with many personal and financial rewards. Hospitality covers all careers that can come underneath the lodging, restaurants, event planning, theme parks, transportation, and tourism. However, this paper will go in depth explaining the role of general management, growth of employment, and human

Tourism is one of the most international industries. Globalisation is the gradual forging of links between groups and societies until they finally reach around the globe in several directions (Smith, D,2006). Globalization is one of the serious challenges facing managers today. It is critical to develop services that are able to satisfy a highly diverse customer base (Ueltschy et al., 2007) Now to keep up with the rising levels of globalization in the hotel industry, there’s a need to understand not only the positive, but also the negative impacts of globalisation. I’ll also talk about the growth and rise of one of the most respected brands in the hospitality industry - the Hilton Hotels. Throughout the evolution of this famous organization, the Hilton has

The hospitality and leisure industry hug a variety of sectors and businesses across hotels, restaurants and restaurants, travel and tourism, gaming, sport and leisure. The sector is reliant on the consumer confidence and business sentiment and is facing rising pressure to deliver innovation, value and quality. Hospitality is that business that helps people to feel welcome, relaxed and to enjoy themselves. It is all about customer service and providing the best quality and experience possible for the customers. (Discover Hospitality, 2012)

Theatre, event planning, and tourism all emphasize intangible goods and services more than tangible ones. The guest experience is the most valuable asset. However, in restaurants and hotels, it is the opposite; guests focus on the quality of the physical goods more than the service. Employees of both theatre and hospitality need experience outside of the classroom in order to become truly successful in their field. There is only so much one can learn about these skills; it is necessary to have a balance between experience and knowledge in order to apply it.

The Club Med (A) case examines the companies core values, innovative goals in providing a complete all-inclusive resort getaway experience for their customers, and competitive advantages and disadvantages the resort company had against others. They pride themselves on being innovators and on customer satisfaction, though they did begin to fall behind in some areas due to new competitors entering their category. Some of the Club Med issues were that they didn’t seem to actively take new threats very seriously, they were heavily catered towards the French/European culture, and how they didn’t have much flexibility in terms of adjusting their services to fit consumer needs better.

There are only a handful of companies that have mastered the concept of experience economy. The Walt Disney Company is one good example of a company that has excelled in customer service but has gone beyond that to provide a meaningful experience to all users by providing an economic design of experience.

Hospitality industry is one of the world¹s largest employers and brings people together in a global community.
