Welcome to BTEC Hospitality

The hospitality industry is large and varied, able to respond to changing market needs by growing and evolving. It therefore offers many different types of employment. In the first part of the unit learners will explore the industry at both a national and local level, gaining an insight into the size of the industry and the different types of settings in which it operates. They will also differentiate between organisations solely operating in the hospitality arena and those offering a specialist catering service to industries that have other main activities.
