Hospitality

What is hospitality? What does it mean to be hospitable? I spent 4 years at University in Ireland studying Hospitality Management and I still find it hard to define.

I turned to my friends at Dictionary.com to see what they said. They defined hospitality as: “receiving and treating guests and strangers in a warm, friendly, generous way.” Others words used are, “warmth, cordiality, congeniality and friendliness.”
