What is the difference between hospitality mangement and hotel management ?
Helllo ,
*Hotel management deals with managing hotel,lodging, resorts etc
Hospitality management deals with people management the way care is taken.
*Hotel management involves hotel industry or travel and tourism industry which is really in high demand.
Hospitality management is unique , which is not just confined to industry but this skill can be used in various departments like marketing,HR,finance etc
This would be the basic difference .
I'll give you few differences based on area of work and responsibility so that it gets easy for you to understand.
1. AREA OF WORK
As the name suggests, hotel management deals with all aspects of managing a hotel or more broadly, any lodging establishment such as a B&B, resort, etc. India, being an important tourism hub, is home to a large number of hotels and hotel chains. Hotel management involves managing their day-to-day operations.
HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT, on the other hand, is a broader term used to describe any sector that deals with people management. It could be casinos, nightclubs, conferences, events, sales, business development, and even hotels.
2. RESPONSIBILITIES
The primary responsibilities, with hotel management, is ensuring guests enjoy a pleasant stay at their establishment. It involves taking care of them from the moment they check-in to the moment they check-out. Every single activity of the guest has to be outstanding to ensure their visit is worth their money. Departments such as the front desk, travel desk, housekeeping, concierge, room service, guest service, etc. are all the responsibilities of a hotel manager.
Similar to hotel management, hospitality management also includes taking care of guests, albeit in a different setting. For example, hospitality managers in large organizations are responsible for meeting and greeting foreign delegates and ensuring they have everything they need for a successful visit.
3. DRIVING FACTORS
Hotel management is largely an operations-oriented subject. Hotel managers mostly ensure each department in the hotel runs like a well-oiled machine. A hotel management degree, thus, provides intense training on how to manage these departments.
Hospitality management is about people management. The aim is to make sure guests are comfortable and satisfied with their experience at the event, venue, hotel, etc. A good hospitality manager is one who takes customer/client experiences to the next level.
Hope this helps you, good luck!
Hi Aman Rattan,
Although branches of the same discipline of study, Hotel Management is restricted to managing the operations of a lodging-related establishment, while Hospitality is a broader term that encompasses industries such as hotel and conference management, sales, business development, events, etc.
