The Profession of Hospitality or The Professionalization of Hospitality. Which Is It?

Abstract

This article looks at the literature of work and occupation in the discipline of Sociology to examine the constructs of a profession, and the evolution of an occupation to the status of profession. It attempts to delineate for those in the hospitality industry some guidelines or mileposts by which the discipline can be assessed as to its degree of professionalism. Together with earlier work done in the hospitality literature, and in conjunction with the ongoing work of other scholars, the discussion of profession(al) status can be renewed.
