    DEFINITION OF HOSPITALITY
    Hospitality is the relationship between guest
    and host, or the act or practice of being
    hospitable. Specifically, this includes the
    reception and entertainment of guests, visitors,
    or strangers, resorts, membership clubs,
    conventions, attractions, special events, and
    other services for travellers and tourists.
    (Wikipedia, 2010)
    "Hospitality" can also mean generously providing
    care and kindness to whoever is in need.
    DEFINITION OF HOSPITALITY

    The hospitality industry consists of broad category of
    fields within the service industry that includes lodging,
    restaurants, event planning, theme parks, transportation,
    cruise line, and additional fields within the tourism
    industry. The hospitality industry is a several billion dollar
    industry that mostly depends on the availability of leisure
    time and disposable income. A hospitality unit such as a
    restaurant, hotel, or even an amusement park consists of
    multiple groups such as facility maintenance, direct
    operations (servers, housekeepers, porters, kitchen
    workers, bartenders, etc.), management, marketing, and
    human resources. (Wikipedia, 2010)
    DEFINITION OF CATERING
    Catering is the business of providing
    foodservice at a remote site or a site like a hotel,
    public house (pub) and other various locations.
    A mobile caterer serves food directly from a
    vehicle or cart that is designed for the purpose.
    Mobile catering is common at outdoor events
    (such as concerts), workplaces, and downtown
    business districts. (Wikipedia, 2010)
    DEFINITION OF CATERING
    Event Catering

    Event ranges from box-lunch drop-off to full-service catering.
    Caterers and their staff are part of the foodservice industry.
    When most people refer to a "caterer", they are referring to an event
    caterer who serves food with waiting staff at dining tables or sets up
    a self-serve buffet. The food may be prepared on site, i.e., made
    completely at the event, or the caterer may choose to bring prepared
    food and put the finishing touches on once it arrives.
    The event caterer staff are not responsible for preparing the food but
    often help set up the dining area. This service is typically provided at
    banquets, conventions, and weddings. Any event where all who
    attend are provided with food and drinks or sometimes only hors
    d'oeuvres is often called a catered event. (Wikipedia, 2010)
