The Hospitality industry is as old as humanity.

It all started with Abraham. He looked around his tent and thought, only one entrance? what if people come from all four directions and see a closed tent- that's not welcoming or cool at all- I'm going to leave all 4 sides open so all travelers can chill at my place, grab a bite to eat and relax before they continue on their journey-

-Buddhists have a similar point of view -connections are real and separations are an illusion so true hospitality means reaching out to those we do not yet know.

-Japanese dynasties, European Monarchs and even Native American tribes had quarters set up for visitors and travelers, and rules regarding meals and recreational activities.

But to get technical:

Hotels

The first form of paid 'hospitality' where you could reserve a place to stay, eat, and relax would be the common in- a room in a private home.

-Next came motels and hotels

-Now you can rent anything from a designated area on a cruise ship to an organic, green eco-resort!

Food

As long as there were food markets and trading there were vendors selling food. Add a table and some chairs and voila! you have a restaurant business.

Recreational Activities-

Recreation is subjective- In Egypt you would get a mudbath, in Europe jesters would tell jokes and juggle, while Romans preferred watching lions eat human warriors. Although we have evolved into more modern versions of the previous activities, (minus lion homicide) the history goes back as far as our existence.
