Hospitality Management and Pop Culture

  It seems that pop culture doesn't portray the field of hospitality management much in songs or tv shows. Most of the time, the jobs like doctors or policemen have been portrayed a lot by pop culture. However, there are still some movies, which could be good examples.
  One of the movies is called "Pretty Woman", it tells a good story which is a hotel manager helps a prostitute become a lady. Another example is the "Fawlty Towers" series, it's a funny take on the hotel business. It tells a series of stories which happens in the hotel, and how those staff in the hotel deal with the problems.
  These two examples show the work that the employees should do in a hotel. The "Pretty Woman" shows that how a staff in the hotel helps others, and the staffs' responsibility. Their devotion to the work is also shown in the examples.
  The words with specialized meanings within my field would be:
  Responsibility
  Devotion
  Unremitting
  Experience

  1. I am really glad I found your blog, because it is really similar to mine! I'm also doing my blog on Hotel Management, which I was worried about because it isn't exactly a career you see very often in movies or TV shows. Surprisingly our posts are very similar, but we used different examples, so maybe Hotel Management is often used in pop culture and we never noticed until now? Something to think about and research for sure. The list of words for this field are definitely accurate, devotion is a new one for me but I think it is a perfect word for hotel managers.
