Abstract:
Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in hospitality and accommodation have taken an enormous percentage of service-provision, helping automate most of the processes involved such as booking and purchasing, improving the guest experience, tracking of guest preferences and interests, etc. The aim of the study is to understand the roles, benefits and issues with the improvement of business intelligence (BI) in hospitality. This research is purposed to discover the applications of BI in hotel booking and accommodation. The investigation focuses on hotel guest experience, business operations and guest satisfaction. The research also shows how acquiring proper BI is supported by implementing a dynamic technology framework integrated with AI and a big data resource. In such a system, the intensive collection of customer data combined with an improved technology standard is achievable using AI. The research employs a qualitative approach for data discovery and collection. A thematic analysis helps generate proper findings that indicate an improvement in the entire hospitality service delivery system as well as customer satisfaction. In this thesis, there are examined various subsets of BI in tourism. The assessment analyzes competition arising from the application of these technologies. The study also shows the importance and application of harnessing data to gather insights about guest interests and preferences through the establishment of well-developed BI. Insights enable the customization of hotel services and products for individual guests. There is a considerable improvement in guest services and guest information collection, which is achieved through the creation of guest profiles. The research performs a discussion on the incorporation of AI and big data among other sub-components in creating diversified BI and seeks to identify the need for current BI applications in the hotel industry.

Abstract:

Kvalitet, miljö och marknadsföring är några av de mest väsentliga delarna för en hotellverksamhet. Dessa aspekter ger en bild av bakomliggande orsaker och förklaringar till konsumenters attityd. Eftersom konsumenters behov ständigt förändras är det betydelsefullt för ett hotell att kontinuerligt upprätthålla konsumentens intresse för att göra hotellbesöket till en angenäm vistelse.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att granska Hotel FrykenStrands konsumenters attityder vid hotellbesök i allmänhet samt på Hotel FrykenStrand i synnerhet. Uppsatsen skall även ge en indikation på vad Hotel FrykenStrands marknadsföring har för verkan på hotellets konsumenter.

Resultatet av vår studie har visat att för att en verksamhet skall kunna ha en möjlighet att tillfredsställa sina konsumenter på bästa tänkbara sätt bör hotellet ha kunskapen om vilka faktorer som konsumenterna värderar högre än andra. Det som skiljer effekten av faktorerna åt är i vilket syfte och mån som konsumenten efterfrågar kvalitetsfaktorerna. Samtidigt påverkar samtliga kvalitetsfaktorer en konsument vid hotellbesök och på Hotel FrykenStrand.

Den fysiska miljön är en viktig beståndsdel på så sätt att konsumenterna är nöjda med Hotel FrykenStrands kapacitet att skapa en tillfredsställande miljö. Därmed påverkar denna faktor konsumenterna relativt lite vid hotellbesök och på Hotel FrykenStrand. Interaktioner mellan människor är en viktig aspekt inom den sociala miljön. Samspelet mellan personal och konsument på ett hotell skall fungera på ett tillfredsställande sätt. Sett till betydelsen av Hotel FrykenStrands marknadsföring har vår studie visat ett resultat på att dess innehåll inte är den största bristen hos hotellet, utan det är marknadsföringens räckvidd och omfattning.

Tourism and Sport
Ph.D.
This study quantifies the business value of consumer reviews and discusses its wider implications to hotel performance, specifically to delineate the unique effects of the User-Generated Content (UGC) components on room sales. In contrast to earlier studies that take consumer reviews as an exogenous factor, this study finds empirical evidence that consumer reviews both influence and are influenced by room sales through a dynamic framework. In consideration of the endogeneity in consumer reviews, this study uses a dynamic generalized method of moments (GMM) model to address the reviews/sales relation and illustrates why other commonly used estimation that ignore the dynamic relationship between current reviews and room sales may be biased. A longitudinal panel-data sample of 56,284 hotel reviews on a daily basis, along with quarterly hotel performance over a ten-quarter observation window, is used for the empirical modeling. This study finds that room sales are significantly influenced by the review volume, suggesting the importance of awareness effect. Specifically, a 1% increase in the average quarterly number of reviews received would result in a 0.10 units increase in the average revenue per available room. Compared to paid or owned traditional marketing channels, the earned consumer reviews' business value can be justified by the marginal costs of producing extra copies of reviews by consumers and providing social media service by hotel managers. Nevertheless, this study shows that the rating of consumer reviews and its variation does not have effect on hotel room sales after accounting for the endogeneity, indicating that online reviews have little persuasion effect on consumer purchase decisions. Thus, this study considers the awareness effect of Word-of-Mouth (WOM) as the primary effect in the dynamic mechanism between consumer reviews and room sales. From the theoretical perspective, this study represents a comprehensive understanding of consumer reviews by integrating both awareness and persuasion effects. By identifying strategically important review components and their effects, the study adds to the prior literature by providing a positive reconciliation of the mixed findings about the effect of consumer reviews. From the managerial perspective, the awareness effect of consumer reviews suggests that businesses should embrace and facilitate WOM activities. However, consumers are not influenced by the persuasion effect of online WOM, thus presenting a challenge to businesses that try to influence sales through "planting" positive product reviews. Hotel managers shall therefore focus more on the mechanisms that facilitate dispersion of underlying word-of- mouth exchange rather than try to influence online ratings. From the methodology perspective, this study contributes to the hospitality literature by providing econometric justifications for the use of dynamic panel data estimation, discussing the conditions under which it improves inference beyond the traditional pooled OLS and traditional fixed- effects estimates. This study shows that dynamic effect is likely to be particularly important in hospitality research since much of our research seeks to determine the effect of different stimulating variables (e.g., consumer reviews, pricing strategy, customer relationship management, etc.) on hotel performance, an aspect of research that is particularly susceptible to biases that may arise by ignoring the effect of historical performance on current stimulating variables. The empirical attempt initiated in this study welcomes replications of future research.

Liu, Chun Kit. "Business excellence for the Hong Kong hotel industry." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2001. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/19973/.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to understand the state of art of total quality management in Hong Kong Hotel Industry and to develop a model of business excellence to help monitor and guide hoteliers in search of excellence. With this in mind, a preliminary study was conducted to understand the concepts, management practices, barriers to their implementations and future plan that are pertinent to total quality management. Founded on Kanji's Business Excellence Model, the Business Excellence Model for Hong Kong Hotel Industry is developed, tested and applied using survey data from 28 members of the Hong Kong Hotels Association and the questionnaires are mainly responded by directorates of the hotels. To compliment the business excellence study, over 2,400 interviews were made from guests of 62 hotels to set up a customer satisfaction index for Hong Kong Hotel Industry. A full-scale study on customer satisfaction for three international and two Asian hotels is included as a case study. Five critical success factors are identified in the preliminary study and they are People Management, External Customer-Satisfaction, Teamwork, Internal Customer-Satisfaction and Leadership. Under staffing is the major barrier to the hotel's implementation of TQM in terms of both frequency and degrees of difficulty, and the approach believed to be short-lived gimmicks or fads comes second. The customer satisfaction survey 1999 reveals that Customer Satisfaction is mainly influenced by both Expectation and Perceived Quality. This, perhaps, gives the hoteliers the starting points for improving their customer satisfactions. Contrasts between the two groups of hotels in the case study reveal that the Asian group outperforms the International group of hotels in all the five dimensions of the Customer Satisfaction Model for both sexes and for both ethnic groups of White and Chinese. This indicates that the difference is something fundamental, perhaps in their quality cultures, quality initiatives and, most importantly, leaderships.

The purpose of this research paper is to provide an understanding for organizational factors effect on Customer Relationship Management (CRM) in the hotel business and then investigate CRM activities effect on loyalty among business travelers. An analysis of 163 questionnaires gathered from hotels in Sweden resulted in two main findings. (1) Organizational factors such as: size, strategy, and maturity of information system affect CRM activities where the development of a customer loyalty strategy affects CRM activities the most. (2) CRM activities as: bonus cards, service customization, free-gifts, and convenient check in/check outs affect loyalty where service customization affects loyalty the most. Hence, different organizational preferences and certain CRM activities are preferable as hotels strive to create loyalty among business travelers.

Abstract:

Konkurrensen mellan hotellen har ökat på grund av förändringar i samhället, även kundernas behov och önskemål har förändrats. I dagens samhälle blir det allt vanligare att hotell inte enbart kan konkurrera med bra service och pris. Det krävs något extra, något utöver det vanliga för att locka kunder och öka konkurrensfördelarna. Hotellen måste hitta nya sätt att differentiera sig på och det har blivit allt viktigare med ett starkt varumärke som kan ge ett mervärde till kunderna. Det har blivit vanligt att hotell använder sig av storytelling och tema för att bygga upp sitt koncept och varumärke. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur hotell i Sverige kan använda sig av storytelling och tematisering för att bygga upp varumärket. Syftet är deskriptivt men även till viss del normativt. I studien används en deduktiv metod och ett antal telefonintervjuer har genomförts. Detta för att exemplifiera hur en varumärkesuppbyggande process kan se ut inom storytelling- och temahotell. Studien fokuserar på den interna varumärkesuppbyggande processen. Resultatet i denna studie är inte generaliserbart utan vägledande för hur man kan bygga upp sitt varumärke med hjälp av storytelling och tematisering. Denna studie bidrar med ny fakta inom ett relativt obeforskat område som tema och varumärken. Studien visar att den varumärkesuppbyggande processen skiljer sig mellan varusektorn och tjänstesektorn. Detta eftersom andra delar då blir mer betydelsefulla, detta redovisas i en egen modell i studiens analys. Slutsatserna av studien visar att det är viktigt att vid uppbyggandet av storytelling- och temahotell vara; konsekvent, trovärdig, ha bra och välinformerad personal som kan förmedla storyn och temat samt att det finns en röd tråd genom konceptet. Om hotellen inkluderar dessa delar när de bygger upp sitt varumärke kan detta leda till en minnesvärd upplevelse. Slutsatserna visar även att storytelling och tematisering kan bidra till ett ökat mervärde till gästerna vilket leder till gratis reklam genom word-of-mouth samt skapa ökad uppmärksamhet i media. Det skapar även ökade konkurrensfördelar då det går att differentiera sig från konkurrenterna. Detta bidrar till att ett immateriellt varumärke byggs upp. Avslutningsvis visar studien att storytelling kan vara ett starkare koncept jämfört med tematisering.


Competition in the hotel industry has increased depending on changes of today’s society and of the needs and wants of the hotel guests. Hotels today should compete with something more than just a good service and pricing, since it has become something ordinary. They need to have something special, something extraordinary to attract customers and add to their competitiveness. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how hotels in Sweden can use themes and stories to build their internal brand. In this study a deductive method has been used and telephone interviews have been made which are declared in the empirics. This has been done to exemplify how the internal brand building process may turn out in story-telling hotels and theme hotels. Our conclusions from this study are that the brand building process may be different depending on how companies build their immaterial brand. The difference is due to other parts of the process may become more important, which we also implicate with our brand building model that you will find in our analysis. The study also shows that it is very important for hotels with a theme and story-telling to be credible, have well informed staffs that are able to mediate the story or theme and to be coherent through the whole concept. If the hotel management has all this in mind while building their brand, it will lead to a memorable experience for the guests. It also helps to build an immaterially strong brand. The conclusion is also that the use of story-telling can be seen stronger than a theme. This study contributes with new information about theme and brands which still is a relatively unresearched area.

Abstract:
Despite the recent recession, the economic growth of recent decades has created a group of so-called ‘Global-Elites’ (CeMoRe, 2010). Small in number, but high in net worth and influence they are influential in the creation of, and desire for consumption, often portrayed as luxury, privilege, prestige, and 'class'. The tourism industry has also benefited from growth, with demand predicted to double by the year 2020, reaching an estimated $14.95 billion (World Tourism & Travel Council, 2010). Much of this growth has been at the top end, as Keissling et. al. (2009) note an unprecedented rise in demand for the luxury hotel sector over the past decade. The global elite’s leisure consumption practices require considerable research attention, and yet research into luxury services, such as hotels and associated hospitality services, is greatly undeveloped. Atwal and Williams (2008) note the ability of consumption as a means for consumers to make statements about themselves, and nowhere is this more true than in the world of the Global-Elite, who seemingly having no desire to curb current travel activities (Elliott & Urry, 2009). This may be due to the uncertainty that is felt about future travel opportunities, with environmental decline of natural and heritage attractions paralleled by numerous threats to travel such as peak oil and political instability. However, in recent years, there has been increased interest in the study of ethical consumption in the tourism arena (e.g. Novelli, 2005; Sharpley, 2006; Lansing & Vries, 2006; Yeoman et. al., 2006). Although there appears to be incompatibility between the concepts of luxury and concerns around ethical consumption and sustainability, this research posits that while current transitions (around travel and tourism) continue towards further unsustainability (Cohen, 2010), ethical consumption may provide an avenue for social distinction and status differentiation in the world of the Global-Elites. In order to adequately understand the behavioural intentions of the Global-Elites, the synergy between consumer values, luxury dimensions and ethical consumption needs to be explored. This research examines the influence of consumer values, as a more universal measure of intent, in relation to ethical consumption in luxury hotels. This research argues that by reducing the uncertainty related to the degree to which consumers (Global-Elites) value ethical consumption, deeper insights into these apparently incompatible spaces and places for ethical consumption will be obtained. Furthermore, luxury hotels will be able to assess the suitability of marketing and communicating such strategies to their customers.

Abstract:
The central objective of this thesis was to advance knowledge of the processes leading to the creation of small firm strategic alliance relationships, and the issues involved in their development and management. This has been recognised by the author as an underdeveloped area of research. Moreover, research analyses and evaluates the contribution of strategic alliances to the small firm operating within the sector in general and within the hotel industiy specifically. Literature research identified that strategic management through co-operative networks represented an appropriate business practice. Thus, empirical research activity focused on a specific form of partial network, that of a strategic alliance. A strategic alliance, Scotland's Commended Hotels and its member small hotel firms was selected as the subjects for empirical research. This strategic alliance is an example of small firms voluntarily co-operating, seeking to add to their competencies by combining marketing resources with those of their partners, in order to safeguard and improve their market and competitive position. This organisation was researched over a period of nine months using a multimethod approach combining qualitative and quantitative techniques in a planned systematic manner. The significant contribution of the research has been to advance knowledge in respect to developing a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics involved in the creation, development and management of relationships, within the context of small firms, linked into resource constrained strategic alliances. Specifically, findings emphasised the interrelationship of: management practices and procedures; member characteristics and behaviour; strategy and structure; and organisational learning. It is only when all these components interlock, in appropriate measures, that the strategic alliance will be durable and productive over time. Moreover, the foundation stone of this proposition is the relationship between management and members. It was concluded that the concept of small firm strategic alliances has the potential to provide support for the small firm, enhance performance, and enable the retention of independence of ownership. Moreover, it has the possibility to perform a nurturing, incubator role. However, it was emphasised that a strategic alliance should not be simplisticly regarded as a panacea for the resolution of the strategic imperatives facing small firms. It is unlikely that blind subscription to the concept, without due understanding of the operating logic, and evaluation of the degree of strategic fit, will achieve positive outcomes for the member, or the core organisation. Moreover, owner/managers must understand that it is only with time, commitment, energy, compromise and strategic awareness that mutual enhanced business performance outcomes will be achieved through strategic alliance relationships.

Specifically, findings emphasised the interrelationship of: management practices and procedures; member characteristics and behaviour; strategy and structure; and organisational learning. It is only when all these components interlock, in appropriate measures,that the strategic alliance will be durable and productive over time. Moreover, the foundation stone of this proposition is the relationship between management and members. It was concluded that the concept of small firm strategic alliances has the potential to provide support for the small firm, enhance performance, and enable the retention of independence of ownership. Moreover, it has the possibility to perform a nurturing, incubator role. However, it was emphasised that a strategic alliance should not be simplisticly regarded as a panacea for the resolution of the strategic imperatives facing small firms. It is unlikely that blind subscription to the concept, without due understanding of the operating logic, and evaluation of the degree of strategic fit, will achieve positive outcomes for the member, or the core organisation. Moreover, owner/managers must understand that it is only with time, commitment, energy, compromise and strategic awareness that mutual enhanced business performance outcomes will be achieved through strategic alliance relationships.

Abstract:

Vi åsyftar att undersöka möjligheterna att starta upp och driva det mindre hotellet. Vi vill med denna affärsplan undersöka marknaden och upptäcka eventuella brister i idén före den blir verklighet.

Frågeställning: Hur etableras och drivs det mindre hotellet på ett framgångsrikt sätt?

Vi har gjort en kvalitativ fallstudie på tre hotellföretag och använts oss av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med berörda personer på de tre olika hotellen. Teorin har insamlats genom relevant litteratur inom ekonomi och marknadsföring samt via elektroniska källor.

Vi har visat på att det finns goda möjligheter att skapa en hotellverksamhet i en stad som Göteborg. Dock under vissa förutsättningar; att vi får tag i en lokal som passar våra behov samt att vi får en omsättningsbaserad hyra så vi slipper tunga investeringskostnader.

Abstract:
Since the early 1990s, the rapid growth of international hotel chains and its effects on managerial work have drawn the attention of researchers (Gilbert & Guerrier, 1997 and Ladkin & Juwaheer 2000). There is a current need to investigate how management in hotels is adapting to the significant change in the last decade (McKenney, 2016). The contemporary Hotel General Manager’s (HGM’s) role, responsibility, and ultimately autonomy, are seen to be largely influenced by the owners, management companies or the franchise the hotel is operating under. “Understanding the scope and limits of HGMs decision autonomy is an understudied yet important topic for hospitality research” Hodari & Sturman, 2014 p.434 How management is practiced at the highest level in the hotel is the research problem to be investigated. Kotter (2010), Whitley (1989) and Hales (1986) emphasised how the nature of managerial work is closely linked to its organisational context. Accepting that managerial work is shaped and exercised in context (Dierdorff et al, 2009; Akrivos, Ladkin and Reklitis 2007), the aim of this research is to explore and understand the way in which contemporary HGMs manage and what influences how they manage. This work aims to shed light on hotel general management across three contemporary business models in the operating environment of Aberdeen city and Aberdeenshire. The research strategy will be interpretivist, with a qualitative approach taken to elicit HGMs’ experiences about their working life and chosen activity to understand the influences on their management practice. Dann (1990), credits Hales (1987) with providing a methodology, which allows the conduct of managerial work to be placed within the context of the management process. On account of this Hale’s five broad questions are built into the interview schedule. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews are held with HGMs who were members of the Aberdeen City and Shire Hotel Association. This Association has a membership of thirty-eight hotels operating through private, chain and franchise models. In total 21 HGMs are interviewed. From this data a profile of the HGM is provided, as found in each of the three ownership/business models (private, chain and franchise). The data were analysed by the constant comparison method. This study contributes to the body of research through looking at what HGM’s actually do, and how these individuals practice management. This work provides new knowledge in the form of a model, which maps out the identified management context (characteristics) that influence HGM behaviour/activity and the consequences for management across business models surveyed. The business model under which the HGM manages is found to be the primary influence on HGM activity and behaviour. The work sheds light on the meaning of work, and why it is the way it is. At the first level of analysis management context across three business models is identified. These then map onto the second level of analysis, which explains how these influences shape management behaviour and activity. The model identifies consequences for management across the business models. The proposition in the study is that HGMs have not been de-skilled; they have instead prioritised skills and activity in line with the demands of the business model and the ownership style under which they manage. In effect new skills have been learnt, and behaviour and activity tailored to meet the contemporary demands in context of the business model. This research has found that although HGMs have the same title, they are found to be very different managers that are managing different things. Not only do the HGMs manage differently the priorities of management are also quite different. The contribution to knowledge is considered at theoretical and practical levels. At the theoretical level a modern take on Taylorism shows that specialisation is relevant to contemporary hotel management. Silos are created on account of the business models, with markedly different ways of hotel services being delivered. The priorities of HGMs, dictated by the business model, are different. The extreme cases being the people centric, long term focus of the private sector manager juxtaposed with the short financial term focus by the chain HGMs. At the practical level, accepting that hotel general management is not homogeneous, and driven by the business model, hotel organisations need to develop their own organisationspecific competency framework for their HGMs. Success across the business models is measured differently; for chain and franchise HGMs there is a need to generate higher gross profits and for results to reported frequently, and for the private sector HGMs success is linked to long term sustainability, serving the community and providing a personal service. A challenge for each HGM in each of the models is managing stakeholders. These stakeholders vary with the model; managing the owners and operating company superiors are vital in chains, while the customers and staff are more important to HGMs in private model. For HGMs in both chain and franchise business models activity and behaviour is influenced by the need to ensure brand compliance through standard operating procedures.

Full text
Abstract:

Loyalty card is one of the most commonly used promotional activities in business. Thus far, there are some research has been done on luxury hotel, but very few researches are on budget hotel. So, the purpose of the thesis is finding out the Swedish customers’ attitude and behavior towards budget hotel’s loyalty card; getting to know what factors influence Swedish customers’ response towards the loyalty card and budget hotels.

In the thesis, the main research problem is “How do Swedish customers respond to the Budget hotel’s Loyalty Card promotional activity in Sweden?” Under the main research problem, four sub questions and four hypotheses are designed. Face-to-face interview is implemented for collecting primary data. Interviewees include business traveling interviewees and leisure traveling interviewees, altogether 23 interviewees are interviewed. Secondary data is from articles and journals. The secondary data includes Purchasing/Decision making, Marketing communication, Sales promotion, Pricing, Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Relationship marketing, Customer satisfaction and loyalty, Personality and Marketing segmentation. The secondary data and primary data are mixed together for the main research problem’s analysis.

After the research, the thesis comes out that Swedish loyalty card holders show much awareness/ preference/ satisfaction/ loyalty towards the membership budget hotel. Swedish customers use loyalty card in a constant manner only when the benefit is large and the benefit can be gained fast. For the Swedish customers, the Budget hotel loyalty card’s benefit is important, but the benefit is not big enough to make them feel excited. Simple and clear loyalty card rules are appreciated. Reference groups’ comments, fast internet information, loyalty card rule’s complexity, customers’ previous experiences, original price, psychological quality feeling and perceived price level also affect the loyalty card’s effectiveness. By implementing loyalty card, the membership customers’ satisfaction can be increased. The non-membership customers’ satisfaction isn’t negatively affected. Compared with the Swedish leisure travelers, Swedish business travelers show even stronger and much more stable loyalty towards the membership hotel. Leisure traveler is much benefit oriented. But the business traveler is habit oriented. Psychologically, business travelers think that a budget hotel loyalty card can not provide them as much good feeling as the luxury hotel’s loyalty card does.

Abstract:
Development of the tourism industry in Malaysia is a recent phenomenon. Today, the industry is one of the major revenues of the Malaysian economy. As elsewhere, the Malaysian tourism industry is labour intensive; much of its future success depends significantly on the quality of its labour. While industrial growth generally is making great impact on the Malaysian economy, there has been considerable debate about the contribution of Malaysian higher education, including hotel management education. Critics have commented that graduates lack certain basic competences and that higher education providers have not kept up with the times. Educational institutions have been criticised for not developing appropriate competences required by industry, especially for the entry-level management position. At the same time, the current state-of-the-art in the hotel business is becoming more sophisticated and complex in today's robust business environment. This poses additional challenges for hospitality management educators in developing nations. It is widely acknowledge that today's entry-level managers need a diversity of competences in order to meet the demands of the industry. In this respect, an effective hotel management education programme must be able to respond to the demands of the competitive business environment. At the same time, the rapid development of new hotel or hospitality management programmes, not to mention the enrolment figures of existing hotel schools, has led to an increased concern about programme credibility and effectiveness. Educational institutions must respond to the requirements and needs by developing relevant knowledge and competences. This research project proposes that actual needs (based on the Malaysian context) should be investigated and referred to in curriculum planning. These needs should be drawn from relevant key stakeholders based in industry and wider areas of society. The study does not attempt to empirically investigate the pedagogical issues related to curriculum planning or provide a total definition of a curriculum. Nevertheless, the findings of this study do provide a concrete foundation and aspiration for educators to consider when designing hotel management curriculum. However, the issues of learning, teaching and assessment have been incorporated in developing a conceptual curriculum planning model in order to provide a comprehensive view of the planning process. To collect the data, the research project utilised a combined-method approach: mailed questionnaire and semi-structured interview. Factor Analysis was conducted on the data. The analysis reveals that the one hundred and four (104) competence statements were represented by twenty-five (25) factors (loading factor of greater than .40). These factors captured 73.2 per cent of the total variance. Of the twenty-five (25) factors,thirteen (13) factors had a single loading, presumably error factors. However, they were included in the discussion since they provided useful dimensions of this study. These competence statements were further treated by one-way ANOVA to determine the differences among stakeholders. Overall, most of the differences were detected between students and educators and students and industry professionals. Differences between educators and students and educators and industry professionals were also detected, but to a lesser extend. Overall, the results have indicated that even though there are differences in the stakeholders' expectations, there is consensus regarding the central themes of hotel management education. Stakeholders considered personal (self) development and communication as crucial ('soft' domain). At the same time, the results revealed that technical (operation), and functional competences are equally crucial in developing future managers. The outcomes of this study lead to the development a conceptual curriculum planning model for hotel management curriculum relevant to the needs of Malaysia (or elsewhere), as well as in other vocational areas. The model can be applied in the ongoing evaluation of hotel management education programme.

Abstract:
Once firm decides to enter a foreign market, it has to choose a mode of entry, that is, select an institutional arrangement for organizing and conducting international business transactions. Since entry modes have a major impact on the firm's overseas business performance, their selection is regarded as a critical international business decision. Especially, for hotel business mode of entry is most difficult and complex process since hotel investment occur high capital. This research effort was designed to investigate the influential factors in the environment of foreign country and international lodging company. Once identified, an attempt was made to determine if there were any relationships which existed between these factors and entry mode choices when these international hotels attempted expansion into new international markets. This effort was initially influenced by the transaction cost analysis (TCA) which insists firm chooses an entry mode which minimise the all costs associated with its integration. The TCA stresses the importance of firm-specific assets, uncertainty variables, and free-riding potential. Certain unique characteristics of lodging business have been considered when selecting the variables for the empirical research. A conceptual framework with 12 hypotheses has been established. However, after data collecting process, 4 variables were eliminated due to data unavailability. A total of 591 international hotel openings are included and ordered probit/logit models are used to analyse the sample. The findings from the research included eight propositions that explain the relationships among the influential variables and entry mode choices in the international hotel firms. Although numerous variables appear to influence a firm's particular choice of entry mode in a given situation, uncertainty variables seem to be particularly important.

Abstract:
The voluntary turnover rate in the United States hotel industry is among the highest of all industries, resulting in lost revenue. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore strategies hotel managers use to reduce voluntary employee turnover. The targeted population consisted of 6 managers from hotel businesses operating in the MidAtlantic region of the United States who successfully used strategies to reduce voluntary employee turnover. Job embeddedness theory, this study's theoretical framework, was used to describe reasons employees remained in organizations. Data were gathered via semistructured interviews, observational notes, and public business records regarding turnover or retention programs. Yinʼs 5-step analysis model was used to compile, deconstruct, reassemble, interpret, and draw conclusions from the data. Four themes emerged from data analysis: organizational support with property-level flexibility, feeling valued for individual contributions to the team, opportunities for training or advancement, and relationships with managers and peers. The results of this study may contribute to positive social change by providing strategies to reduce employee turnover in a historically low-wage industry, which may result in raising the quality of life for hotel employees, their families, and communities.

Abstract:
The evolution of big business in manufacturing and some service industries, together with the role played in this by merger and acquisition (M&A) activity has been thoroughly researched and is well documented. However, despite' the increasing economic and social importance of the UK hotel industry, its development has been largely neglected. Therefore, this thesis set out to explore the development of big business in the hotel industry through the study of M&A activities. This study employs the multiple case study approach (four UK hotel companies), using M&A theory as the theoretical framework; extensive historical secondary data and semi-structured interviews were carried out for the study, covering a period of 26 years. The analysis was conducted by synthesising data with the M&A theory, in terms of two levels, organisational motives and macro environmental factors. The findings confirm those in the existing literature on what is encompassed by the term big business and the part played by M&A activity in the creation of big business. They also suggest that in the hotel industry the acquisition of brand name and brand rights is an important motive, one which has been neglected in the general M&A literature discussion. These findings added several new dimensions to big business concepts, through illuminating the role of brand and brand right acquisition in the context of the UK hotel industry. This thesis confirms the utility of deploying the wide range and large quantity of publicly available historical secondary information, which is rarely used. In addition, the application of a qualitative and longitudinal approach, applied to management theory, has broadened the research agenda in the study of hotel business, business history and business management theory.

Abstract:
Hotel guests can use 2 to 3 times more water than community residents. Hotels are water-intensive businesses, and water scarcity presents a pressing problem for managers who rely on an uninterrupted supply of water to meet guests' needs and maintain profitability. Using the resource-based view (RBV) as a conceptual framework, the purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore strategies that hotel managers used to successfully maintain adequate water supplies in the Spanish Canary Islands, an historically arid site and a tourism destination. Data were collected from semistructured interviews and hotel water usage reports. Yin's 5-step approach of examining, categorizing, tabulating, testing, and recombining evidence to draw conclusions guided the data analysis. Four key themes emerged from the findings: value water as a strategic business resource, mitigate risks of natural resources scarcity, promote water efficiency and conservation, and sustain supplies through corporate water stewardship. This study may contribute to positive social change by illuminating processes that hotel managers, employees, guests, and partners, can take to improve environmental stewardship and align their practices with sustainable water governance.

Abstract:
The design of a five star hotel entails a miniature world within the walls of a building. Attendant human and psychological factors in such a community must be carefully worked out and used to the advantage of the public, staff and hotelier alike. The different components of the hotel must be layered in such a manner that it is suitable contextually and functionally. The proposed hotel forms part of a very rich historically urban context. The focus of the design will be, not to ignore the surrounding context (as many hotels function on their own), but rather to support the city of Pretoria to strengthen its image as the Capital City and at the same time help to keep Church Street as the business core of the city. Densifying the Inner City to prevent urban sprawl and to create an environment that promotes security by activity. Although the scheme is a system in itself, it plays a supportive and integrative role in the Inner City of Pretoria.The design will strive not to be an island tipe building that exclude the general public, but instead to include them into the design so that the city as a whole remains the most important element. The proposed Building will be situated on a remaining portion of Sammy Marks Square on the corner of Church Street and Prinsloo Street. The building functions will include a wellness component (link with the surrounding hospitals), hotel suites for accommodation, offi ces and retail shops.

In the past years, many international well-known hotels are investing in the Asian market, thus resulting in rapid growth of Business Hotels. In Taiwan, development of modern business hotels starts only in very recent years so research papers on business hotel design are limited and there is a lack of information for systematic analysis. This research aims to study space construction of business hotel and the related facilities, such as construction space, space dimensions and the interior allocations, adoption of materials, and etc. Qualitative and quantitative analysis will be applied to formulate ideas and propose recommendations on space construction of business hotels. The investigation is done by studying existing business hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Taipei, Taoyuan, Taichung, and California. After on-site measurement, schematic drawing, and taking on-site photographs, space forming factors will be investigated. Finally, the space forming factors will be proposed for business hotels particularly in areas of (1) public spaces like lobby, conference hall, restaurant, gym, recreational room, and meeting room and (2) guest rooms such as hall way, living room, showers, bedroom and reading room.

The reasons people travel has changed over time and have certainly been impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic, with the urge of unique experiences being each time more noted. Aligned with these motivations, boutique accommodation units have emerged, mainly in the form of hotels. Boutique accommodation is meant to be unique, and customer centred and mostly associated to luxury, for the quality and diversity of the services offered, the conditions and provided and availability to fulfil any requests from guests. This project’s objective is to conceptualize, design and evaluate the economic and financial viability of the creation of a Boutique Hotel like accommodation unit in Porto Moniz, Madeira Island. This unit has a particularly interesting approach since it proposes to have the main offering found in Boutique Hotels but in order to leverage a legal opening will not classify as so. To this end, a business plan was drawn up given its aggregating value for Project valuation. In a first stage, literature review was conducted regarding the definition of tourism and tourist, experience marketing related to tourism, tourism products and trends and finally the types of accommodations, focusing on defining Boutique Accommodation. In the second phase, and in order to respond to the research problem, the usual structure of a business plan was followed: market analysis, internal analysis, competitive analysis, development strategy, objectives and implantation policies, finalizing with the projects economic and financial analysis and conclusions.

Alinhadas com estas motivações, surgiram unidades de alojamento boutique, principalmente sob a forma de hotéis. O alojamento boutique destina-se a ser único, e centrado no cliente e principalmente associado ao luxo, pela qualidade e diversidade dos serviços oferecidos, as condições e a disponibilidade para satisfazer quaisquer pedidos dos hóspedes. O objetivo deste projeto é conceptualizar, conceber e avaliar a viabilidade económica e financeira da criação de uma unidade hoteleira tipo Boutique Hotel no Porto Moniz, Ilha da Madeira. Esta unidade tem uma abordagem particularmente interessante uma vez que propõe ter a oferta principal encontrada nos Hotéis Boutique, mas a fim de aproveitar uma abertura legal não será classificada como tal. Para este efeito, foi elaborado um plano de negócios dado o seu valor agregador para a avaliação do projeto.

The main purpose of this study is to explore how Japanese businessmen perceive Taiwan’s business hotel service quality based on cultural difference perspective. The qualitative in-depth interview and observation methods are used. The analysis also includes the differences between perceived business hotel service quality of Japanese businessmen and Taiwanese business hotel managers. The results of the study show that Japanese businessmen are influenced by their culture when they perceive the services provided by Taiwan’s business hotels within the dimensions of SERVQUAL. What the cultural factors affect the service quality perceptions include national geographical region, language communication behavior, social class, purposes of customers, service business model, dinning culture and customs. The influences on different dimensions of SERVQUAL are as follows: 1. Reliability: time management, language capability, service record, friendly attitude to foreign customers; 2. Tangibles: hotel physical quality, dinning culture, delicacy of service; 3. Responsiveness: understanding of Japanese culture, risk management ability; 4. Assurance: the service clerks’ manners and the empowerment of first line service clerks; 5. Empathy: concerns from service clerks at the appropriate time, active service and respecting to the customers’ commends. The contribution of the study is both in academics and practice. In academics, this study fills up the research gap about the interpretations of service quality problems of Taiwan’s business hotels. In practice, the results of the study provide rich information to the managers of Taiwan’s business hotels for improving the service quality and for training the employees.
