The hospitality industry has its origins in ancient times, with the concept dating back to Ancient Greece and Rome. Over centuries, accommodations evolved from private homes and inns to include monasteries, taverns, and posthouses along trade routes. The modern hospitality industry began taking form in the early 20th century with the rise of hotels, motels, and restaurants. It experienced rapid growth following World War II driven by increased tourism. Today, hospitality is one of the largest global industries providing employment in sectors like hotels, resorts, and food service.
