1. INTRODUCTION
The hotel industry grew and flourished
through the centuries by adapting to the changing social, business and economic
environment that marked human progress. During modern times, these stages have
been labeled for easy reference. The 18th century was the agricultural age; the
19th, the industrial age. The 20th century has been the age of service. The
sale of services, such as therapeutically, pharmaceutical, banking, education
and hotel keeping, has outpaced the manufacture and distribution of goods.
Today services sector is growing much higher than goods sector and in Tanzania
it contributes more than 50% of the National GDP (2012 NBS Data source).Services
sector is considered to be among others consisting of 12% formal employments. The
21st century has opened with that same service culture even as it launches what
is likely to be the age of technology.
By considering the importance of Tourism,
Environment and Social responsibility in our Country.
