The recorded history of the hospitality industry began with the Sumerians around 4000 BC in Mesopotamia, where they established local taverns to provide food, drinks, and shelter for travelers as trade developed. 2. In 2000 BC, considerable trade had developed among Middle Eastern peoples, increasing the need for hospitality services along trade routes, which led to the formation of caravanserais or roadside inns along the Silk Road. 3. As international trade expanded and transportation improved, trade emporiums were established, sometimes developing into colonies, while competition for trade routes and resources sometimes led to wars between states and empires.

    Ancient Period...
    It was around 40 BC according to experts when hospitality services for
    social and religious gatherings were quite a common phenomenon.
    It was about this time that Greeks came up with thermal baths that were
    designed for recuperation and relaxation.
    These thermal baths are said to be the origin of what we know as
    modern-day Spa.
    Then came the Romans who provided accommodation for travellers on
    government premises. Here, comfort and entertainment were the names
    of the game.
    There are enough pieces of evidence now that the historical background
    of the hospitality industry will pull us back to prehistoric times.
    When the Roman used to travel, they sought pleasure leading to the
    development of early inns.

    The sumerians...
    The recorded history of the hospitality industry began with the
    Sumerians, a group of people who lived in Mesopotamia near the Persian
    Gulf at about 4000 BC. Since much of this area was fertile, several Sumerian
    have become prosperous, as well as skilled farmers and cattle breeders.
    The Sumerian farmers were able to produce such abundant harvests that
    they were able to sell their surplus grain to people in other parts of the region.
    The Sumerians invented the money and writing as a means to record and
    settle their business transactions. Politically, the Sumerians organized
    themselves into city-states. Since the states covered a large geographic area,
    Sumerian required the services of travelers, namely, food, drinks, and
    shelter. Hence, local Sumerian taverns were established, making them the
    first hospitality business. It is most likely that the hospitality industry
    begun with the Sumerians 5,000 years ago in BC.

    Early traders...
    During the early development of hospitality industry, many people
    in the Mesopotamia region became good exotic traders. In 2000
    B.C, a considerable amount of trade had developed among the
    people of the Middle East. The increase in the number of traders
    also increased the need for hospitality services for their long
    journeys which led to the formation of caravanserai along the Silk
    Road Caravanserais were described as "guest houses, "roadside
    inns," and “hostels," which were designed to provide overnight
    housing to travelers and traders.

    Early traders...
    Early trade largely focused on luxury goods like precious metals, spices,
    and fine textiles, but eventually, as transportation by ship became faster,
    more reliable, and cheaper, even mundane items like olives and fish
    paste were exported across great distances. With the increased contact
    between cultures caused by trade, so too ideas and cultural practices
    spread, particularly in the areas of language, religion, and art.
    International trade led to the establishment of trade emporiums which in
    turn often developed into colonies. As the competition for resources and
    access to lucrative trade routes intensified, wars often then resulted
    when rulers looked to seize the riches of rival states and empires.
