Please prepare a 5-7 page Essay on a current HOT TOPIC in one of the hospitality management segments.

First, choose the segment of the Hospitality Industry that interests you the most: Foodservice, Lodging, Travel & Tourism. NEXT, choose an industry hot topic or current issue that is affecting that industry, specifically.

Explain how this issue became a hot button issue for the industry.

Describe how the industry is responding to or adapting to this issue. Are there any industry associations that are taking a stand regarding this topic?

What is the industry doing to address this current hot topic? What could this mean to the future of the industry?

A well developed thesis statement should be written in your introductory paragraph. This tells what the paper will be about. It basically answers the question that the rest of your paper is developing and exploring. The body of the paper should develop and support that thesis statement, using valid industry and academic resources.

Include specific industry references and examples to reinforce your points, include at least one industry professional organization (such as the National Restaurant Association, American Hotel & Lodging Association, or the U.S. Travel Association). Don't forget to use the resources in our online library.

Finish up by describing how this issue could continue to influence or affect the industry in the future; how will the industry handle this issue going forward?

The essay should be in APA format, about a segment in the industry that interests you and focused on a current topic occurring in that industry segment today. "Restaurant Management" is NOT an acceptable topic.

Please make sure you use at least 3 resources, and cite them properly. Spell check and proof read.
