About this course
Hospitality is a network of services rather than a single job. This free course maps the main sectors and shows how customer experience, communication, pricing and technology connect them.
Vayun Shyam, Manasvi Gondi, Shreya Kundur, Akshay Gona and Rohan Karra present hotels and lodging, travel and tourism, food service, and recreation as related operating environments. The lessons are short, so the course works best as orientation before role-specific study.

The opening section defines hospitality and tourism, introduces customer service before, during and after a purchase, and gives a quick map of the industry. The next section compares lodging, travel, recreation, restaurants and food service, with attention to the experiences each sector delivers.
The final section links technology, workplace communication, pricing, careers and internal or external business factors. One lesson discusses the industry response to COVID-19. Treat that material as a historical snapshot from the course’s 2020 update, not as current health or travel guidance.
No prior experience is required. The public syllabus lists 44 minutes across 15 lectures and includes quizzes. This is a broad introduction; it does not train a learner for food safety, local licensing, travel regulation or a particular hotel system.
