Tourism and Hospitality (MA)

The Tourism and Hospitality industry is a vast sector that includes all economic activities. This industry can be divided into three primary fields: accommodations, food and beverage, and travel and tourism.

Tourism is the set of activities through which a person spends their free time, travelling to another town or country to visit people and places, monuments and museums. They will enrich their general knowledge, entertain and do sports, rest and recover, etc.

Secondly, the tourism industry satisfies the services requested by tourists at the destination. Services are provided to a high-quality level under the conditions of protection and conservation of tourist resources and the environment.

This industry is essential because it is the primary source of income for many countries, especially in exotic lands; it also promotes cultural experiences and creates many jobs, especially part-time or entry-level jobs that don’t require knowledge. 

Ultimately, domestic tourism helps the economy grow.
