Reception refers to the process of receiving or welcoming guests, clients, or visitors in various settings, such as hotels, offices, or events. It often involves a designated area, known as a reception area, where staff members greet and assist individuals. The reception area typically includes a desk, seating, and informational materials about the services offered. In addition to hospitality, reception can also describe how information or messages are received by an audience. This can apply to various forms of communication, including speeches, media broadcasts, or artistic performances. The effectiveness of reception can influence public perception and engagement with the content presented.
