Full textAbstract:
Although traditional travel agents have played an important role as proxies enabling travelers to make connections with hotels, the emergence of the internet has changed the traditional relationship between hotels and travel agents. Instead of a traditional agent–principal relationship, online travel agents (OTAs) seem to act as more than just intermediaries and more as business partners or vendors. Scholars have previously observed troubled, if not hostile, relationships between hotels and OTAs. There has been a growing tendency for hotel and accommodation business worldwide to use Online Travel Agents (OTAs) to promote and sell their rooms. This research discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the promotion and sales through OTAs for hotel business in Kaliurang a famous tourism destination object in Yogyakarta. The object of the research is the hotel manager, supervisors and staff who handle the hotel promotion and sales of their accommodation business. Hotel were located in Kaliurang chosen based on cluster proportional and the informants were chosen based on purposive sampling technique. The result shows that the disadvantages in using OTAs as promotion and sales tool are rising occupancy, direct payment, and as a tool in making hotel well known worldwide. The disadvantages are decrease net sales, over booking, negative comments could downgrade the hotels rank, and OTAs make hotels website got limited traffic. The motivation of hotel managements in using OTAs is highly motivated. The dominant factor of the perception included factors in self-perception of the target, factor in the self-perception., and factors perception of situation. This research suggests to the villa management to recruit special personnel for handling OTAs as well as to manage own websites to increase the net sales.

Full textAbstract:
Vietnam’s hospitality industry has developed significantly over the past 20 years. Therefore, it is very important to investigate customers’ complaints based on their experience in Vietnamese hotels. This study aimed to examine online complaining behavior focusing on five hotel attributes (Service, Value, Room, Sleep Quality, and Cleanliness) to discover any behavioral pattern differences displayed by (i) Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese guests and (ii) guests experiencing different classes of hotels. A total of 1357 samples, which were representative of guests from 70 countries among five continents coming from 467 hotels in six famous tourist cities, were selected for data analysis. Then, descriptive statistics, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance were conducted to identify whether there was a difference in the behavioral pattern. Service and Value complaints were more evident in Vietnamese customers, while non-Vietnamese customers were more inclined to complain about Room. Furthermore, guests were more likely to complain about hotels in the economy class with respect to Service, Cleanliness, Room, and Sleep Quality attributes than those in the upscale class and luxury class. The research findings can aid hotel managers in making targeted proactive retention actions by categorizing regular customers into groups and also being able to meet the expectations of customers from different cultures and hotel classes. Moreover, they expand insights into the online complaining behaviors of tourists providing valuable practical information for the hotel industry and extending hospitality literature in Vietnam.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines user-generated content (UGC) related to hotels in three different mass tourism destinations (Antalya, Majorca, and Sharm El Sheikh) that offer services with the all-inclusive system (AIS) to comparatively analyses tourists' evaluations and emotions about service components. While the study was designed with the content analysis method, text mining and sentiment analysis were used together. Customer reviews (UGC) of top hotels in three different mass tourism destinations were collected from an on-line travel review site. A total of 3588 English hotel reviews were analysed by the R program. Analysis of the reviews for famous mass tourism destination hotels in the Mediterranean region has also clearly revealed the priority service characteristics (rooms, staff, and food) and dominant emotions for hotels in all destinations in comparison. Moreover, the multiple correspondence analysis results clearly show how the emotions about the services of the hotels in three different regions diverge. Analysis results provide important clues for mass tourism destination hotels working with AIS.

Full textAbstract:
Dublin's Gresham Hotel, where Gabriel and Gretta Conroy end their evening in Joyce's most famous short story, has a fascinating history. It was founded in 1817 by Thomas Gresham, who began life as a foundling rescued from the steps of London's Royal Exchange and was thereby given the name of the Renaissance statesman who built that exchange. This sixteenth-century Thomas Gresham was even better known, however, for his eponymous ‘Gresham's Law’. Both Gresham's Law and the hotel setting and history enter into and help to shape ‘The Dead’. Questions of value and valuing suggested by Gresham's Law are shown to be more complicated than they initially appear, as they intersect with the various forms of hospitality traced in the story. The ‘secondary’ quality of the famous Dublin hotel (built by the second, unknown Thomas Gresham) underscores – and ultimately redeems – the theme of secondariness that runs through ‘The Dead’.

<p><em>This research was conducted to determine the Influence of Customer Service Quality towards Customer Satisfaction and its implication on Loyalty among MICE Customers in Hotels surrounding Bekasi. For service quality, instead of applying the famous SERVQUAL, this study uses the newly build service quality for hotel industry, HOLSERV. Quantitative data analysis was applied to test the relationship among the variables. Prior to that, data were tested for its validity and reliability. Customers of hotels surrounding Bekasi were taken as the respondents with the help of hotel managers who participated in the study. Participants were taken not only those experiencing MICE but also from the employee category assuming the degree of exposure to MICE much higher than students.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The purpose of this work is to provide a ranking of eight European countries concerning their hotel industry. We have drawn data from TripAdvisor with various features, like the location of each hotel, the cleanness, the number of the rooms, the price of each hotel and other similar criteria. The analysis was conducted by using two multicriteria analysis methods, namely AHP and VIKOR. Specifically, the well known AHP method will help us to calculate the weights of the criteria and the ranking of the alternatives is provided by VIKOR. The obtained results provide vital information, more specifically which country has the more attractive hotel industry, compared with the other countries. Based on the obtained results in this research, we can see that there are two countries with the best hotel services and the ranking has a particular interest, as all eight countries are famous for their tourist services.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims at exploring the impact of green food on consumers’ purchase attitudes toward a hotel stay and on consumers’ behavioral intentions (i.e., intention to visit the hotel, intention to offer positive recommendations to others and willingness to pay a premium price), focusing on an Italian perspective where the food is a worldwide famous cultural element. This research employed a survey sent out by email to a database of contacts provided by an Italian company that operates in tourism. Data collection was completed in four weeks and the initial dataset counted 3586 of target respondents. A total of 302 surveys were completed and the data were analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM). Firstly, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was performed, followed by a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) that leads to the estimation of the structural model. The results show that personal beliefs toward green food are positively associated with respondents’ purchase attitudes toward green food. Moreover, stronger purchase attitudes toward green food lead to more favorable purchase attitudes toward hotels that offer green food, further substantiating the investigation about whether or not consumers’ attitudes employ similar concerns on sustainability for their daily purchases as well as for vacation products and services. In turn, the latter purchase attitudes are positively associated with individual behavioral intentions toward hotels that offer green food.

Full textAbstract:
In Chapter 4 the unfinished mega Hotel de México (started in 1966) performs as the double to the nation-state. The hotel—archetypal building of modernity—conceals its operations and administrative apparatus, very much like the ruling PRI. By extension, the metaphor of hospitality illuminates how this self-proclaimed host treated its citizens, “limiting” or “conditioning” their status as perpetual guests. The analysis of the late major mural by the famous Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros The March of Humanity on Earth and Towards the Cosmos (1964–71), housed in the cultural center adjacent to the Hotel, reveals contradictions that parallel the challenge of reconciling the revolutionary rhetoric with capitalist modernization faced by the regime and its elites. The chapter argues that militant Siqueiros contradicted the official vision of “cosmic communion” proposed by the architect Guillermo Rossel de la Lama by crafting the mural whose story lines and gestures, especially the motif of hands, contested Mexico’s political status quo, echoing the unruliness of the 68 Movement after the Tlatelolco massacre.

Full textAbstract:
There was a famous saying from the celebrated hotelier, “king of hoteliers and hotelier to kings,” Mr. Cesar Ritz, that a good person is priceless (Leng, 2013). Human resources has always played a very important role in hotels. This is because the hotel industry is a labor-intensive industry that requires great contribution and support from human resources to identify and recruit the required staff, train and manage the manpower to fill the various jobs, and retain and develop the talented employees for greater responsibilities or higher positions. This chapter displays the changes of the role of human resources in hotels in China and its significant impact of the changes to the industry. In addition, this chapter also provides its unique points of view in the part of Solutions and Recommendations and in the part of Future Research Directions.

Full textAbstract:
Until 1830, the traveler to India faced a long, and often stormy, passage around the Cape of Good Hope. The advent of the steamship changed everything. Now you could take a steamer from England or Marseilles to Alexandria, then spend a few days or weeks in Cairo waiting for news that the ship for India was approaching Suez. You then took a camel, horse, or wagon across the desert to meet the vessel at what was then a small village. Hotels opened in Suez and Cairo to accommodate transit passengers. The British Hotel in Cairo, soon to be renamed Shepheard’s Hotel after its manager, welcomed its first guests in 1841. This magnificent Victorian institution became world famous, especially after the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, when it became the hotel of choice for the British Raj on its way to and from India. The hotel also catered to a new breed, the archaeological tourist. Bubonic plague epidemics periodically claimed thousands of lives in Egypt until 1844, when it suddenly and mysteriously disappeared. Cholera arrived from India to take its place, but despite this scourge, Egypt became a recommended destination for travelers wishing to escape damp European winters. By this time, a journey up the Nile to the First Cataract was routine, although one had to endure long quarantines on account of the plague. Nile travel became so popular that the London publisher John Murray commissioned the Egyptologist John Gardner Wilkinson to write a guide, one of a series aimed at a new audience of middle-class tourists.Wilkinson traveled in style, his baggage requiring a small army of porters. The contents of his baggage included an iron bedstead, a sword and other oddities, and “much more,” including a chicken coop, ample biscuits (cookies), and potted meats. He lamented the high cost of living in Egypt and the changes brought by a rising tide of visitors. “The travelers who go up the Nile will I fear soon be like Rhine tourists. & Cheapside will pour out its Legions upon Egypt.” His Handbook for Travellers in Egypt first appeared in 1847, went through multiple editions until 1873, and was still in common use half a century after its first appearance.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers how the French restaurant arrived in London bringing out aspects that have been previously been less extensively treated in this better-known period of its history. It was indeed the era of the grand hotel restaurants, of the Entente Cordiale and the Franco-British Exhibition and the development of cultural and culinary relations between London and Paris on several different levels. Yet while Escoffier was celebrated at the Savoy, many different Frenchmen and women lived and ate in areas of London such as Soho and (what would become known as) Fitzrovia, often as political exiles and refugees in very difficult circumstances. The chapter is divided into three sections: ‘Setting the Scene: French Cuisine and Forms of Culinary, Cultural and Social Display in Nineteenth-Century London’; ‘The French Restaurant Arrives in London: Famous Names and (In)Famous places’; ‘The Expansion of the French Restaurant in London: from “foreign kickshaws” to “a notable gathering of Frenchmen” charting changes in attitudes towards French food and restaurants. The chapter ends at the outbreak of the First World War as many Frenchmen working in London’s restaurant business left to join the French forces at the Front.

We left the city of Richland,Washington, on the desert road leading to the Hanford LIGO site to spend two days visiting the now-famous gravitational wave detector observatory. When my wife, Patricia, and I left our hotel, the sky was overcast with dark-gray clouds. There was a chilly, damp wind, and we had taken our coats to shield us from a typical March day in eastern Washington. The road to the site was straight, and we looked out over the unobstructed landscape covered with sagebrush and tumbleweeds blowing in the wind, all ringed by purple mountains in the distance. Hanford was one of the sites in the Manhattan Project, which produced the nuclear bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. We met very little traffic on our way, other than trucks leaving the infamous reactor site left by the Manhattan Project. The legacy of that project, the largest nuclear waste site in the United States, has contaminated the groundwater underneath 61 square miles of the site, and it threatens the headwaters of the Columbia River....

Full textAbstract:
The SDG meeting of October 22, 1950, is a famous event in Hollywood history for all the wrong reasons. It is legendary because Cecil B. DeMille, John Ford, and Joseph L. Mankiewicz, along with many other celebrated directors, played prominent roles. Even small anecdotes from the meeting, such as Ford declaring, “My name is John Ford. I make westerns,” have entered Hollywood folklore. The meeting was convened to discuss the forced recall of Mankiewicz as SDG president by its conservative board headed by DeMille. The catalyst for the recall was a debate about a loyalty oath for Guild members, which was also linked to a union-sanctioned blacklist. Mankiewicz apparently protested to the media about the way the SDG’s board was operating—in particular, its use of an open and signed ballot to push through the measure. In response to the attempted recall by DeMille and other conservatives, Mankiewicz and his supporters took legal action and called a general meeting to discuss the issue. Several hundred directors packed into the Beverley Hills Hotel on October 22, 1950, to do just that.

Full textAbstract:
Back in America, Barber happily focused on composing songs. Drawn to Rainer Maria Rilke’s French poems, he created five songs, Mélodies passagères. When asked, he said that he composed in French because he had fallen in love with Paris. He sang excerpts of the cycle to his friend, composer Francis Poulenc, who confirmed the accuracy of the prosody and admired the songs so much he premiered them in Paris with Pierre Bernac in 1952, which Barber attended as he was there for a meeting of the International Music Council. In 1952, Barber received a commission from the Ballet Society to orchestrate some piano duets he had composed, inspired by his childhood trips to the Palm Court in New York’s Plaza Hotel. Completed in Ireland, the ballet, Souvenirs, included a waltz, schottische, tango, pas de deux, and two-step; it was choreographed and performed by Balanchine, who danced with Nora Kaye, Jerome Robbins, and Tanaquil LeClercq. His love affair with Irish poetry also blossomed during this time, inspiring his most famous song cycle, Hermit Songs, settings of ten poems by Irish monks inscribed on the corners of manuscripts. The cycle was premiered in the Coolidge Auditorium at the Library of Congress by Leontyne Price, with Barber at the piano. This chapter concludes with discussion of Barber’s one-movement orchestral work, Adventure, a television collaboration between CBS and the Museum of Natural History, which is scored for a mixture of recognizable Western instruments and non-Western instruments.

Full textAbstract:
Since the early part of the 20th century, the Catskill Mountains of New York State (also known as “the Borscht Belt”) was famous for its hotels and resorts. This chapter explores a lesser-known aspect of the Catskills: the bungalow colonies where thousands of working-class New York Jews spent their summers. Focusing on the experiences of children of Holocaust survivors during the 1950s–1960s (the “golden age” of the Catskills’ popularity) it shows how the bungalow colony was not only an enjoyable summer environment, but also an ideal place for children to run free and feel safe, especially those whose parents went through unspeakable horrors during the war. In addition, for survivors whose wartime/Holocaust traumas were still fresh, it was a uniquely relaxing and comfortable setting that served as a means of social and psychological transition to the New World.

Full textAbstract:
Europe is the most touristic continent in the world, receiving more than 50% of all international tourists (Santolli, 2017) according to the World Tourism Organization. People from all over the world want to go to the most famous tourist attractions in Europe and what once seemed a distant dream to international tourists due to the high prices of hotels and air tickets, is now possible thanks to the competitive prices of international airlines such as Ryanair, Vueling and EasyJet (O’Connell & Williams , 2005) and the alternative to traditional accommodation providers: collaborative economy platforms such as Airbnb, HomeAway or Wimdu. This short research paper will be focused on this type of platform, which provide mainly hosting services, and the legal aspects of their terms and conditions of service. The collaborative economy in the tourism industry is a growing business model, which allows consumers around the world to rent a spare room, an entire house or an apartment, for a short period of time, at a lower price than the accommodation offered by the traditional service providers such as hotels. However, this phenomenon was not born as a trending idea or an alternative way of getting an extra income, but of the pure necessity of generating cash in a period when the economy was stagnating, and the owners of properties needed to be creative with the available resources. The collaborative economy is characterized by generating economic benefit (Botsman & Rogers , 2010) from assets that would otherwise be given little or no use by their owners or holders. However, the concept of ‘resources’ covers much more than just assets, since resources can refer to spaces, skills and any kind of goods, which, if not made available to the collaborative economy, would be largely unused.
