friendly treatment of guests
the friendly way you welcome and take care of people who visit your home or place
用法模式：
[someone] shows hospitality to [someone]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse 'hospitality' with 'hospital' and use it to talk about medical care, which is incorrect. Another common mistake is using it as a countable noun (e.g., *'a hospitality'*); in this sense it is almost always uncountable. Learners may also try to use it as a verb (e.g., *'They hospitality us'*), but the correct form is to use verbs like 'host', 'welcome', 'show hospitality', or 'offer hospitality'.
近义词
friendliness (more general; not only about guests, while 'hospitality' is specifically about how you treat visitors.)
|
generosity (focuses more on giving and sharing things, while 'hospitality' includes the whole way you welcome and care for guests.)
反义词
hostility (suggests open unfriendliness or aggression toward others, the opposite attitude of welcoming guests kindly.)
|
unfriendliness (describes a cold or distant attitude, which contrasts with the warm and welcoming nature of hospitality.)

hotel and restaurant business sector
the business area of hotels, restaurants, and other places that serve and care for guests and tourists
用法模式：
[someone] works in hospitality
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse this industry meaning with the general personal quality of being welcoming. For example, *'I love your hospitality'* talks about someone's kindness to guests, not the business sector. Another mistake is adding an article in general statements, such as *'a hospitality industry is important'*. In most cases, use 'the hospitality industry' for the sector as a whole or just 'hospitality' when talking about it as a field of work.
近义词
service industry (broader; includes all service businesses, not only those focused on guests and tourism like 'hospitality'.)
|
tourism industry (focuses on travel and tourists; often overlaps with 'hospitality' but does not always include local restaurants and bars used mainly by residents.)
反义词
manufacturing (refers to making physical goods in factories, the opposite type of economic activity from serving guests in the hospitality industry.)
