Entertaiment

Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement. For example, a play or movie might provide entertainment. So would solving a crossword puzzle or playing with a pet. Or, it might be a task or activity that requires effort but is pleasant nonetheless. It could also be a form of hospitality, such as providing meals or accommodations for visitors.
