The Hospitality sector category is broadly defined to include industries and establishments offering customers with lodging and/or food services. Also included are establishments offering supplies and equipment, and services that support these industries.

Excluded from this sector are civic and social organizations, amusement and recreation parks, theaters, and other recreation or entertainment facilities and venues providing food and beverage services.

Also excluded from this sector are establishments that offer event planning and production services, which may include accommodation and food service activities. Examples of companies in this sector include conference, exhibit, and meeting planners. Sites offering event planning services are listed under Business/Business_Services/Event_Planning_and_Production/

Sites for individual lodging establishments (e.g. hotels, motels, B&Bs, etc.) and individual restaurants, bars and nightclubs are listed in the Regional branch. However, the Hospitality category does list sites for regional, national and international chains, corporations and holding companies.
