Abstract:

This paper aims to highlight the current issues of most concern for the hospitality industry worldwide. By examining a number of hospitality and hotel association websites from around the world, eight main areas of concern for the hospitality industry were highlighted and examined in more detail. These areas included employment issues, taxation levels and environmental issues. The paper concludes by recognising both the powerful position many of these associations now hold on a national and sometimes international scale and the global nature of many of the main issues of concern for the hospitality industry.
