Tourism & Hospitality Management QUESTION #1613
Question 1
The Tourism and Hospitality Laws course addresses 'the law of tort' as relevant to hospitality operations. Which of the following scenarios would most directly engage tort law in a hotel context?
  • A hotel failing to renew its business registration on time
  • A guest slipping on an unmarked wet floor in the hotel lobby and sustaining injury due to the hotel's negligence✔️
  • A chef preparing food that does not meet a guest's flavor preference
  • A hotel raising its room rates during peak season
Correct Answer Explanation
The Tourism and Hospitality Laws course covers torts — specifically negligence, trademark infringement, and fraud — in Module 2. A guest injured due to the hotel's failure to maintain safe premises (e.g., an unmarked wet floor) is a classic negligence tort scenario in which the hotel owes a duty of care and may be held liable for breach of that duty.
