Answer 1

Compensation of Hotel industry employees differ as per availability of trained manpower. If there is dearth in employees of a particular skill, the compensation of such employees will be higher. This is based on demand and supply concept.

The compensation is also linked to various factors like hotel tariffs and F&B revenue of the hotel. Canada is a progressive country and its compensation is much higher compared to India in the managerial level. However average salaries rovolve 16 to 18 USD.  A Housekeeping attendant is paid more in canada than India. Canada has smaller number of hotels considering its large geographical area. Also there is always a good demand for hotel managers. The promotions however are slow both in India and Canada.

The Indian hotel industry has an association called FHRAI - Federation of Hotels and Restaurant Association of India. It has regional association to take up labour issues and other legal support of the hotels.
