Tourism and hospitality is a service industry, where visitors from different nationalities and cultures encounter host cultures. It is imperative to understand the influence of national cultures on their consumers in order to best serve and compete for a share of those diverse markets. As the tourism industry becomes more culturally diverse, future tourism and hospitality managers should understand their customers from different cultural backgrounds.
