Contemporary usage „
„
„
Contemporary usage seems different from historical uses that lend it personal connotations. Today's hospitality conjures images of throwing good parties, gracious hosts entertaining, or, the hospitality services industry as it relates to the entertainment and tourism business. On the other hand, hospitality used to be, and still is, a serious duty, responsibility, or ethic. Hospitality ethics is a discipline that studies this usage of hospitality.

1930 Wusher incident
Hospitality and Culture Conflict - The respects of Tibet Lama
“Hada” is symbolic of blessing and respect for someone; it is a piece of white silk cloth. In 2002 when I visited my classmate, he is student monk in the Tibet temple; my classmate and his teacher give me Hada when I leave. However, wearing a piece of white cloth in Taiwanese or Chinese culture implicates the message of funereal matters in ones family.
