Abstract

 This article presents a comparative analysis of scientific definitions of the concept of "hotel business" provided by foreign scholars. The study examines the scientific views on the essence of hotel business by leading foreign scholars such as S. Medlik, D. Rutherford, J. Walker, J. Kandampully, B. Brotherton, P. Jones, R. Wood, M. Olsen, C. Lashley, and A. Pizam. The article covers the evolution of the hotel business concept, its place in the hospitality industry system, and modern interpretations. As a result of the research, common features and differences in scholars' approaches have been identified, and a comprehensive description of the hotel business concept has been formulated.
