Hospitality management is a broad field that involves overseeing the day-to-day administrative, operational and commercial activities of businesses in the hospitality industry. As opposed to the more narrowly focused “hotel management”, hospitality management is an umbrella term that covers various industries such as food and beverage, travel and accommodation and event management.

The departments under a hospitality manager’s stewardship may range from maintenance and housekeeping to spa services, concierge, reception and many more.
