Dear Tourism Scholars,
I am writing a book chapter about the history of the hospitality business, globally. I have read lots of papers. However, I still feel that there are plenty of them that I should have a look at. Could you please suggest me a book or any other academic sources providing any information about the history of tourism and hospitality industry?
Thank you for your time and kind support in advance.

A bit late, but try: 'The Origins of Hospitality and Tourism' by Kevin D. O'Gorman, Goodfellow Pub., 2010 OR
O'Gorman, K.D. (2009), "Origins of the commercial hospitality industry: from the fanciful to factual", International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management, Vol. 21 No. 7, pp. 777-790. https://doi.org/10.1108/09596110910985287

The start of the hotel industry - In France, at the beginning of the fifteenth century, the law required that hotels keep a register. English law also introduced rules for inns at that time. At the same time, around 1500 thermal spas were developed at Carlsbad and Marienbad. https://www.hospitalitynet.org/opinion/4017990.html
The ancient history of the hospitality industry began in 15,000 BCE with teh Lascaux caves in France which were developed to accommodate members of other tribes. In classical antiquity we learn about Greek and Roman spas popular for those seeking rest and relaxation. https://hoteltechreport.com/news/modern-history-hospitality-industry
