Artefact 2




Justification:
We decided to include this video in because it shown how the Classical Rome hospitality gradually developed into today's hospitality industry. This video mainly shows about the differences and similarities of Classical Rome hospitality and present hospitality service and facilities. The similarities is that in the past there are services such as food and beverages, massages, transportations and accommodations which were very similar to what we have today. Unfortunately in the 12 century, there wasn’t Airlines, Cruises or commercial/ business services. There were only limited areas where hospitare (what it was called back then) could be served and mainly at home thus we agree to the notion to a certain extend as things and value of hospitality changed over the years it is still from both stranger, one provides service to another and then become guest and then friends.

The differences is that in the Classical Rome people invited guests to their home for services (non- profit), whereas in the present hospitality, guest which are also known as customers pay for their service. (Business oriented)  In Classical Rome era, many form of service was performed manually to perform the operation, this affect the guest host relationship because in the Classical Rome it focus more on the interaction between the host and the guest.
In today hospitality, there are many attributes and facilities which does not require any personnel to perform the operation, this affects the guest-host relationship because hospitality now focuses on the services delivered instead of interactions with the guest.  Furthermore, the service provided extended from servicing guest in the room to cruise, airline and tour. Hence, the service now is delivered through a group of people instead of one party alone.  

In conclusion, this video shows that classical Rome hospitality and present day hospitality share a lot of similarities. But, there are also difference between them, for example, the way they deliver their services and the facilities, which are shown in the video.
