Abstract
The hotel industry could be more lucrative and economy-boosting, if properly handled. Unfortunately, it is yet to take its pride of place in Nigeria. As a service industry, personnel training is very important. Attitude to training and its outcome forms the main focus of this study. It is a survey of the level and effect of personnel training in hotels in Lagos. Some 350 employees, employers and guests responded to questionnaire and interviews. Findings reveal that training was viewed differently and was not taken seriously enough. It was suggested that more international quality assurance processes be adopted to improve the industry.
