Apply  The Tools Provided By Professional Organizations To Explore Current  Legislative Issues And Industry Data,

Apply  the tools provided by professional organizations to explore current  legislative issues and industry data, and Describe the impact of current  issues affecting segments within the hospitality industry.

You  will be creating a PowerPoint Slide deck (no narration required)  consisting of five slides – a title slide and an informational slide for  each of the following industry segments – Foodservice/Restaurant,  Lodging/Hotel, Travel/Tourism, and Event Planning.

The title slide should include at minimum your name, the title of the assignment, and the due date.

For each of the industry segment slides, the content required is as follows:

• Include the industry segment as a title on the slide
• Identify an industry association that advocates for that particular industry – list the name of the industry association
• Find  the “advocacy”, “issues”, or “data” page for that particular  association – it may or may not be called by one of those names. Post a  link to that page.
• Identify  and briefly summarize ONE issue or statistical information the  association is highlighting on that page. Explain why that issue is  important to the industry and why it could impact society beyond just  that industry. 3 to 5 sentences is enough.

The  goal is to ensure you are familiar with industry associations, how they  advocate for and provide important industry statistics for their  membership. Be sure the link you are providing leads to the issue you  are highlighting.

Keep  in mind that while you are not presenting with narration, you should  design your slides with visual appeal in mind. These will be “wordier”  than slides in an actual presentation would be, but they should be  designed to be balanced and have a professional appearance
