The hotels and catering industry is often treated separately from the tourist industry. Its primary function is to provide tourists with accommodation, and food. The hospitality and, leisure industries have become very important in terms of economics, and employment. In Europe, and America, inns, and taverns were spaced along the roads. People travelled at the distance for a long time on horse -back or in a coach. The old-fashioned inns provided food and shelter for both men and horses. Nowadays a hotel is a temporary home for people who are travelling. In a hotel the traveler can rest and have meals, very often the hotel also provides free space for means of transport. When automobiles were first used for travelling motels appeared. In terms of clients hotels are categorized as the commercial hotels, which provide services for transients. Resort hotels provide recreational facilities. The third type hotel aims its services at the convention trade. The fourth category is resident hotels. People who do not want to keep their house themselves can rent accommodations on a seasonal basis, or even permanently in many hotels. There is no firm distinction between the different kinds of hotels, because they differ only in their quality of service they offer. A system for rating hotels according to quality is widely used, for example in France, and other countries. This system puts the top hotels in a special ‘deluxe’ category, with others receiving from 5 stars to one star or ‘A’s’. The quality service means to offer a wide range of service and comfort. The accommodations industry is labor-intensive when it employs a large number of people to perform its services. In a luxury hotel may be three employees for every quest room, but in a small hotel may be for example 3 employees for many quest rooms. A hotel can pride itself on its quality of service when it maintains high standards of performance.
