The Prize of

the Business of Love and Care! Teaching

"Hospitality is simply an opportunity to show love and care!"

– Anonymus

HHumanity is built on the foundation of love and care. Overviewing the history of mankind, every act is under the microscope of imbibing love and care. While some of the most ambitious men across the world, in their quest to conquer the world, caused disruption and uncertain instability through wars and conflicts, the dawn came in the thmid-20 century, from when humankind is living in the most peaceful era ever recorded.

Once the peaceful rein of mankind started, humans resumed their earlier venture to explore the world. However, in this modern world which is divided by borders and acts only on proof papers, humans found it necessary to explore the world in full swing.

This silent venture of voyagers found itself on the doorstep of every other nation. It found itself difficult to find accommodation and security in a foreign land. This revived the civilisation's old industry of hospitality.

The passionate people leading the hospitality industry commercialised the hospitality industry as a token of gratitude for themselves. However, when the revival of the hospitality industry saw its light and commercialisation also inspired the messengers of love and care to enter this industry.

While travelling, the culinary arts and hotelling industry explored itself in the hospitality industry, and the educational institutes across the world recognised the growing potential and set up prominent institutions of hospitality management across the world.

Today, even after suffering a major hit and showing a downward graph on the global markets, the industry saw its revival again soon after the effects of COVID-19 were numbed. However, this also gave time to the hospitality institutes to upskill their educational

Culinary

Arts, the Backbone of Hospitality Industry!

"A recipe has no soul. You, as the cook, must bring soul to the recipe."

– Thomas Keller

HHave you ever heard someone saying that a way to man's heart goes through their stomach'? Perhaps, you must have heard it from your grandmother, who would do everything in her capacity to ensure you were fed to your heart's content. But is it just limited to men? Not really!

Food is a weakness for each person in the world, and everyone loves the food made by their mother. It is also said that whenever a mother cooks food for their children, she cooks it with their love and specifically in an artistic way, which makes it tastier.

How can cooking be an art? Cooking is also an art like other arts such as writing, singing, dancing, and many other art forms. There is a famous saying about this art, "Real cooking is more about following your heart rather than following recipes."

That is why hotels hire passionate culinary artists who drive passion, love and devotion while making the food more artistic, tastier, and healthier. Thus, a culinary artist cooks like they are going to feed their family, children that bring creativity while cooking. And in today's era, eating food in hotels and restaurants has become humans luxurious lifestyle.

Hospitality! A Life of Magnificence

If you came across from the recent past, everyone's lifestyle has changed due to the technological advancements which enhanced people's standard of living; due to this, everyone seeks luxurious products and services and lives a magnificent life.

How does the hospitality industry have become a choice of luxurious lifestyle?

Hospitality is not just one of the leading industries in the world, but it has been one most exciting, dynamic, and fast-growing industries.

Every advancement in technology or guest experiences of the industry makes it more diverse and specialized for its customers. It not only focuses on customers' experiences but also opens several job opportunities.

Working in hospitality brings the platform where one can nurture their culinary art and other creative skills like servicing, entertaining, and many others- the time has gone when no one values the art. However, now, people appreciate, encourages, and foster the art. And culinary is the backbone of hospitality services; as we know, good food always lifts the mood.

Quality and tasty food aids a healthy life and encourages a positive mindset because food is the necessary fuel for the functioning of the human body. In

hospitality, one will get the chance to grow in their culinary career.

Other than culinary, hospitality follows proper management programs, and many institutions indulge the management skills like behavioural, etiquette, and personality development. All these skills help the hotels promote and represent their specialized services – whenever there is technological development, the hospitality industry keeps nurturing its services.

Technology in Culinary Arts

Everyone seems to be about computers and mobiles when it comes to technology. But have you ever visited the kitchen of modern-cuisine restaurants and hotels? The kitchens would unveil comprehensive mysterious kitchen technologies which look like earlier schools' palettes and knives. As technology is continuously developing, chefs are encouraged to prepare innovative dishes in a varietycontrolled environment.

The advances in kitchen technology indulge sous vide bath, combi oven, induction cooktop, and rotary evaporator are the few gadgets that you may find there, along with the usual technology-based devices like juicers and mixers.

Over time, cooking techniques have been enhanced, and many are equipped with the technology. For instance, there will be the sous vide dish in many restaurants, where they will use a cooking style with an exciting history.

Nowadays, kitchen technologies help chefs control kitchen equipment from their smartphones or smartwatches. The Google Play store also offers an app which helps inform about the appliance's stats and sends a

notification to the chef; thus, they can act whenever required.

Many latest kitchen technologies help the chefs to represent the old dishes perfectly, and few culinary experts are using these technologies to bring creativity to their dishes like rotavate is an instrument which uses the techniques of solid distillation at low temperatures through a vacuum pump.

Other than rotavate, induction technology for sensitive food provides exact control of the cooking process

and saves 60-80 per cent of time consumption compared to traditional gas burners. The induction hob consumes electricity and energy; that is why they do not require to be turned off, as it stops immediately after removing the utensils, reducing the heat and sweat. The induction hobs are easy to clean and help the culinary experts to show their hygiene level.

Final Views

There is no life without food! We all work for food, and without it, no human body can function. Eating healthy and tasty food prolongs the life of humans. And today's generation avails a variety of food or tastes, and culinary artists in hotels and restaurants innovatively offer several cuisines.

AVoyager's Way of Life

FGulliver's travel, the stories of voyages have been fascinating, creating a desire in young hearts to experience the voyager's life. Carrying the same dream forward, few people out there live the life of stories, voyaging around the world. Experiencing such journeys and worldly wonders creates meaningful experiences and a hunger to dive deeper into the ocean of tourism. This desire has led to the promulgation of tourism studies.

From Columbus's story to

The study of Tourism provides detailed insight into exploring a place and understanding its physical, economic, social, geo-strategic and cultural value. Allowing the tourist to make the most out of their tour experiences and help others understand the places from the eyes of wonders.

Origin of Tourism Studies

Tourism has not always been just for entertainment and exploration. Before, it was quite specific, and enjoyment was not an objective. It was after the industrial revolution and the creation

of a new class that tourism for leisure became popular. With time this changed, and tourism started to get segregated into various parts such as medical, educational, business tourism, etc. An increase in tourism and globalization propelled people's interest in tourism which in turn led to the development and popularity of the study of tourism.

stAnd, today in the 21 century, tourism studies are a great opportunity to explore and understand the world better. The studies are majorly associated with the emotions of the students pursuing the subject, as most of the people pursuing it do so out of a passion for tourism. However, there is a lack of awareness regarding this program as the thought of tourism being trivial exists among the masses. On lines of change being universal, this thought can be seen shaking a little as the craving for tourism and travel is increasing among youngsters.

From Past to Date

As travel for love and leisure is getting popular, people are finding ways to support the tourism industry. The desire to involve tourism as a part of life has increased admission in the tourism education sector. And there is a pool of institutions that provide the best education around tourism. With an objective to support the travel and tourism industry and create more awareness regarding it, many institutions are offering dynamics educational programs.

Let's take a walk and know the most favoured options!

Ÿ Tourism could be studied at four different levels:

Ÿ Bachelor's degree

Ÿ Master's degree

Ÿ Undergraduate Certificate Level

Ÿ Graduate Certificate Level

Selecting an institution for the tourism course can be of great significance. However, there are a few factors one must keep in mind while selecting an educational school.

Ÿ

Ÿ

Knowing about the placement opportunities of institution

Internship opportunities to learn more

Ÿ Available concentration and one's interests

Ÿ

Availability of advance coverage in case of doing supportive studies

Diving in the Ocean of Opportunities

With the increase in the tourism industry, generating employment opportunities has outgrown. Jobs available include the positions as tour operators, managers, marketing and travel agency managers, tourist information centre manager, and a list goes on.

Having more than 70% of employment rate, getting a part-time job in the sector is much easier. So, you know what to do next time you have packed your bags for a tour and are in shortage of that last penny.

From Date to Next

The pandemic uncertainties have changed a lot of things about the tourism industry and the way it has been pursued. Post-COVID, tourism and study has seen massive growth. Thanks to the isolated life experienced by people during the lockdown. The last couple of years have made people rethink life and its leisure, and missing out on meeting friends and family has added another reason for travelling around.

To every tourism graduate, it is an amazing opportunity to create a stronghold in the field.

Tourism: The way of life

Tourism is an extremely impactful field leaving its mark on a place's social, environmental, and developmental factors. Being a graduate in tourism programs gives a different vision of exploring these factors to an individual, eventually changing the way of life and acquiring a perception regarding the world.

This induces a sense of respect and understanding for diverse cultures creating and desire to explore them more. Tourism graduates are often seen exploring the world at their own pace throughout their lives, making the sector an important part. Irrespective of the field they pursue, the qualities tourism induces in them become irreplaceable.

Tourism and its study is positively impacting the world, making it a better place to live, be understood, and clubbing people closer emotionally.

Conclusion

Selecting the life of a traveller is a challenge, though not quite similar to that of our childhood stories. It requires skills of adaptability, good survival instincts, a love for exploration, and a tough debate over choosing to travel over the comfort of home. And if this sounds exactly like who you are, it's a good time to take up tourism studies and start a career of dreams!
