The Hotel industry carries a lot of interesting and unique story. Apart from the structural teachings and understanding of the hospitality industry, the hotel business always seem to be set apart from the usual norm. It is an understanding of service and refined excellence in accomodating guests needs. You could tell a lot more stories from a butler or a bellhop who met so many different characters working the front lobby than a housekeeping staffs who have taken a vow of silence of whatever they found in the room as means to protect guests identities and privacies. No my friend, the hotel industry is not just ‘meet and greet’, it is so much more than that, and it took years to master and passionate dedication of serving and bringing out the best quality of each hotel’s brand.
