Why choose a management job in the hospitality sector over anywhere else.
According to the British Hospitality Association report on the economic contribution of the hospitality industry (4th edition – June 2017). The industry is the 4th biggest employer in the UK and has grown Gross Value Added (GVA) faster than any other industry since the economic downturn.
This is an industry that has in the last year contributed to 3.2 million jobs through direct employment and a further 2.8 million indirectly.
The hospitality sector has contributed in the last year £73 billion GVA directly into the UK Economy and even more indirectly.
This report also tells us that there is no regional bias towards hospitality employment and the industry is a major employer across almost every region of the UK.

Hospitality, the dictionary defines this as the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.
