HospitalityBereiche

HospitalityBereiche is a composite term used in German-speaking contexts to denote the different sectors within the hospitality industry. The term groups together core areas that employers, educators, and researchers treat as distinct segments for analysis, management, and training. Although not a standardized English term, it appears in German-language industry literature and curricula as a convenient label for the multifaceted nature of hospitality work.

In practice, the HospitalityBereiche framework supports curriculum design, market research, and business planning by providing a structured map of activities and eligible competencies within the industry. It helps educators and professionals organize content, training programs, and strategic analyses in a coherent way.
