Industries
The service industries (more formally termed: ‘ tertiary sector of industry ‘ by economists) involve the provision of services to businesses as well as final consumers. Such services include accounting, tradesmanship (like mechanic or plumber services), computer services, restaurants, tourism, etc. The service industry is an industry in that part of the economy that creates services rather than tangible objects. Economists divide all economic activity into two broad categories, goods and services. Goods-producing industries are agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and construction; each of them creates some kind of tangible object.
A service industry is any industry that produces value is that primarily intangible such as customer service, management, advice, knowledge, design, data and experiences. Advanced economies are experiencing a long term shift whereby service industries are becoming a larger component of economic output relative to other industries such as:

Most countries define education as a public good and a prime responsibility of public policy. But at the same time an education industry is developing, often at a global scale, offering various kinds of products and services to schools. This is most markedly the case in educational technology, but also in the field of educational resources, textbooks, and various kinds of support services. Moreover, global education industry leaders often express their views on the future of education and stress the need for 21st century skills and pedagogy.
The health care industry, or medical industry, is an aggregation of sectors within the economic system that provides goods and services to treat patients with curative, preventive, rehabilitative, and palliative care. The modern health care industry is divided into many sectors and depends on interdisciplinary teams of trained professionals and paraprofessionals to meet health needs. It includes the generation and commercialization of goods and services lending themselves to maintaining and re-establishing health.
The hospitality industry is a broad category of fields within the service industry that includes lodging, food and drink service, event planning, theme parks, and transportation.

The hospitality industry is much broader than most other industries.
