Abstract:
Guests’ evaluation of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) is important for identifying environment quality problems in hotels and improving service quality. This paper aims to identify IEQ problems in budget hotels in China and improve them. Specifically, 2.06 million online reviews of budget hotels were used to assess IEQ issues in China’s budget hotels in four areas: acoustic environment, luminous environment, indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal environment. The influences of the season, region and type of customers on the IEQ evaluation were also explored, and the main causes of IEQ problems were also identified. The research results show that the IEQ complaint rates of budget hotels are relatively high. In particular, complaints about the acoustic environment are more common. Differences in seasons and climate zones have significant effects on complaints about the acoustic environment, thermal environment and IAQ. Different types of customers have different concerns about hotel IEQ, among which solo travelers and traveling couples have higher requirements for IEQ. The occurrence of IEQ problems significantly reduces a hotel’s online rating, with IAQ and the thermal environment having the greatest impacts, but the causal factors that trigger IEQ problems are relatively concentrated. The findings of this paper can provide a reference for assessing IEQ problems in hotel buildings and guide hotel managers to adopt targeted IEQ improvement programs to promote sustainable development in the hotel industry.

Abstract:
The article considers aspects of the tourism activity development. The scientific papers pay significant attention to development of tourism through the formation of tourism clusters and tourist destinations. Formation and development of tourist destinations is impossible without the hospitality sector. Hospitality is one of the important conditions for the formation of a tourist destination. Currently there is a high competition in the hospitality industry. During the 2015-2016 it is planned to open 20 hotels of international hotel chains (Marriott, Ibis, Hilton, Hyatt, Radisson, Novotel) with the average payback period of 5-6 years. The article presents the results of applying the additional services in accommodation facilities, which have been named the best in the competition "The best Russian hotels in 2015 (on guest reviews)" – Lotte Hotel Moscow, Hyatt Regency Yekaterinburg, Hotel « Hermitage», Ramada Kazan City Centre, Four Seasons Hotel Lion Palace, Domina Prestige, Radisson Hotel, Pushka Inn Hotel, Swissotel Krasnye Holmy, Ararat Park Hyatt, Resort «Tsargrad», guest house "Alexander House”, boarding house Assembly, Mercure Moscow Baumanskaya. Additional services in these accommodation facilities have two features: they are not differentiated and are no innovative. According to the research, the authors propose to classify the hotel services by the number of satisfied requirements. The authors also represent two new hotel services and demonstrate the economic feasibility of the application of innovation.

O relatório insere-se no âmbito do Mestrado em Gestão e Direção Hoteleira da Universidade do Algarve Campus da Penha e tem como objetivo a descrição da experiência do mestrando durante o período de estágio, que decorreu entre Dezembro 2013 a Maio de 2014, na, Four Seasons Vilamoura, unidade hoteleira que o acolheu. O objetivo principal passa, essencialmente, por relatar a relação entre o estagiário e o hotel, começando por fazer uma apresentação das características e seus standards organizacionais, relatar a experiência do estágio em si, ou seja, a forma como foram adquiridos os novos conhecimentos e competências passadas pelo “know-how” do pessoal que trabalha na organização (hotel) e, em sentido inverso, a passagem de conhecimento adquirido, em contexto académico, por parte do estagiário aos colaboradores da empresa (hotel). O estágio passou essencialmente por quatro departamentos; Alojamento, Food & Beverage, Comercial / Marketing e Reveneu Management (Gestão da receita) aplicada aos referidos departamentos. No decurso de algumas reuniões tidas com a direção do hotel, no sentido de ser criado um programa de promoção diferente no departamento de Marketing, surgiu a ideia por parte do estagiário de desenvolver um programa de promoção interna – In- House Marketing, diferente do que existia anteriormente. A partir daí nasceu o desafio, colocado pela Direção ao estagiário, a qual vem descrito na parte final do relatório de estágio, em Apêndice.

Abstract:
O presente relatório de estágio intitula-se “As Relações Públicas e a Gestão das Marcas no Sector Hoteleiro: o caso do Hotel Ritz Four Seasons Lisboa”, tendo sido a questão de partida: “De que forma os profissionais de relações públicas são responsáveis pela gestão de marcas no sector hoteleiro?”. Importante será realçar que este estudo teve como base um estágio curricular que se desenrolou no Departamento de Comunicação e Imagem – Relações Públicas do Hotel Ritz Four Seasons Lisboa, entre 1 de Fevereiro e 28 de Junho de 2013. O principal objectivo deste trabalho consiste em explorar o papel que os profissionais de relações públicas exercem na gestão do relacionamento entre uma marca do sector da hotelaria e os seus clientes, destacando as suas características de comunicação face-a-face onde o diálogo predomina e, mais recentemente, a utilidade da comunicação 2.0, a qual trouxe interactividade e dinamismo a esta relação. Com este estudo é meu propósito abordar e analisar a interactividade existente entre os jornalistas que usufruíram de uma estadia no Hotel Ritz durante o período em que decorreu o estágio, e o Departamento de Relações Públicas. A metodologia escolhida debruçou-se sobre o método quantitativo, cuja técnica de recolha de dados foi o inquérito por questionário, tendo utilizado também o método qualitativo, com destaque para uma entrevista individual como técnica de recolha de dados. O público-alvo dos inquéritos recaiu sobre os jornalistas que usufruíram de uma estadia no Hotel Ritz, e a entrevista incidiu sobre a Directora de Relações Públicas. Os dados recolhidos permitem concluir que o Departamento de Relações Públicas é capaz de criar uma relação emocional e de confiança entre um hotel e os jornalistas, criando percepções positivas da marca, sendo a procura pelo novo e diferente um factor determinante, que faz com que os jornalistas adiram à marca e tencionem divulgá-la na imprensa escrita.
This internship report is entitled as “Public Relations and Brands Management in Hotel Industry: the case of Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon” and the guiding question throughout the report is: “How are public relations professionals responsible for managing brands in the hotel industry?”. It is important to note that this study was based on an internship in Communication and Image - Public Relations Department in the Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon, from the 1st of February to the 28th of June 2013. The main purpose of this study is to explore the role that public relations professionals execute in relationship management between a hotel brand and their clients; emphasizing the characteristics of face-to-face communication where dialogue prevails and, more recently, the utility of 2.0 communication, which brought interactivity and dynamism to this relationship. With this study, it is my purpose to approach and analyze the existing interactivity between journalists, who enjoyed a stay at Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon during my internship, and the Public Relations Department. The chosen methodology consists on a quantitative method for which the data collection was the survey and for the qualitative method, an individual interview was used as a technique for data collection. The target of the survey were journalists who enjoyed a stay at the Hotel Ritz, and the interviewee was the Director of Public Relations. The data gathered allow concluding that the Public Relations Department is able to create an emotional and trust relationship between a hotel and journalists, creating positive perceptions of the brand, searching for new and different features, which result in journalists joining the brand and intending to disclose it in the print media.

Abstract:
Measures that address the seasonality, one of the identified overtourism direct causes, allow making a critical reflection on the application of control policies and monitoring regional measures crucial on a sector with such importance at the regional development analysis. The measures should stimulate or reduce tourism demand during low or peak seasons, respectively, generating a better distribution of tourism flows and eliminating potential overtourism situations. Therefore, this chapter focuses on the development of a Gini Index to analyse the distribution of the seasonality in northern Portugal and through it control current public measures in practice and suggest the implementation of different and more effective policy measures. For instance, the ones that make a clear bet on outdoor tourism activities. It will be used in the Gini Index, by the tourists' market of origin measured by the overnight stays in hotel establishments. The results showed the high seasonal concentration of tourist flows.

Abstract:
Events play a significant role in today’s society, and for tourism destinations they are important due to their tourist, social and cultural functions (Getz, 2007), as well as their role in local and regional development (Wood, 2005). First and foremost, events are a great anchor for attracting tourism, providing tourists with a prime opportunity to get to know the local culture and experience the essence of the place. During an event, visitors have a unique chance to interact with the local community, gaining a deeper experience of the ambience, customs and local culture. Events can also help in improving a place’s image, creating a window for positive media coverage. Finally, for the residents themselves, events are a unique occasion to celebrate the local culture and interact within the community – you can see examples of this in the opening Spotlight above. According to Jackson (2013), three industries in particular are shaping the growth of the events sector (see Figure 9.1). Firstly, the hospitality industry - be it hotels, restaurants or venues - has viewed events as a way of encouraging new clientele or increasing the yield of existing customers. This is the case for the World Ski and Snowboard Festival held in Whistler, Canada every April in order to increase occupancy rates at the end of the winter season. Hotel rooms are fully booked during the event, which spans two weekends in order to maximize occupancy rates.

Abstract:
Discounting, a common practice in the hotel industry, used in order to mitigate seasonal demand fluctuation, was especially prominent at the time of the most recent recession. This coupled with consumer saving trends gave rise to the phenomenon of daily deal or flash sale websites. These are often also referred to as social shopping or group buying marketplaces and combine attractive discount for customers who propagate their offer using their social media channels. Though daily deal websites represent an interesting and multi-faceted e-commerce phenomenon, their nature within hospitality inventory distribution landscape remains largely unknown, even more so, their implications, particularly for the hotel industry. This chapter sets to fill this gap by collecting and structuring the available knowledge about daily deal websites according to the following themes: motivators for their use, profitability-related issues, marketing implications, operational issues, impacts upon branding.

Abstract:
On July 23, 1893, an editorial in the Philadelphia Inquirer asked frustrated business owners and tourist promoters of Atlantic City “What are we going to do with our colored people?” Noting that “never before” had the resort community seemed “so overrun with the dark skinned race as this season,” Atlantic City and other popular northern resort destinations struggled throughout the Reconstruction era to contain the recreational activities and consumer demands of black pleasure seekers. As these struggles reveal, contests over segregation were not restricted to former plantation districts, northern legislatures, the workplace, or public transportation systems. In the late nineteenth century, the popularity of the New Jersey shore coincided with growing concerns over civil rights. On beaches and boardwalks, and inside amusement venues and hotel dining halls, African Americans’ claims for integrated leisure were imbedded in political debates over the meaning of race and the rights and health of consumers....

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the settings of Don't Look Now (1973), looking at the ways in which these evoke the horror of different kinds of disruption. It particularly considers how horror invades the family, the heart of the home, but also how this is mirrored in the ruined and inhospitable spaces of Venice: the hotel is closing for the season, Laura causes damage in a restaurant, and John's restorations on the church are nowhere near completion. Horror, in this film, resides in the ordinary sites of the family, the home, and even the temporal refuge of the holiday. However, dereliction, in this film, also comes to figure Luce Irigaray's conceptualisation of the term as déréliction—a description of the way in which women are exiled from the patriarchal community. The chapter concludes, then, by considering Laura, Christine, the psychic sisters, and the monstrous dwarf in terms of their exile and the ways in which this disrupts and makes derelict the spaces which they inhabit.

Climate change poses a major threat to almost all forms of human activity on earth, including tourism. As Holden (2016: 227) argues: Of all the challenges facing tourism’s relationship with nature, it is not an exaggeration to state that climate change represents the greatest. Holden gives as his rationale for this statement that it is the stability and predictability of climate that is vital for the environments and ecosystems that are required for the continuation of current types of tourism, whether these are the traditional form of mass tourism, in terms of ‘sun, sea and sand’ holidays, or a niche activity which involves visiting a tropical rain forest with rare flora and fauna as the main attraction. Climate change also presents opportunities for tourism. If areas currently experiencing cool winters and mild summers get warmer, then new types of tourism may be possible including beach-based holidays where at present these are of little importance. Climate change is likely to lead to modifications in the weather at different times of the year so ‘seasonality’ which is currently a very important dimension to many forms of tourism will be affected, probably to the extent that seasons when there is high tourism activity will get longer in some parts of the world. Although tourism is likely to be significantly affected by climate change, it has also contributed to climate change through for example the burning of fossil fuels in transport for tourism as well through the use of power in hotel accommodation.

Abstract:
In the Ohio Valley, a pork industry emerged in the geographic and ecological interstices of slavery and free labor to propel millions of hogs from farms and cornfields into a constellation of seasonal deathscapes centered in Cincinnati. This geography of life and death unmade hogs so successfully that, in combination with the new industrial chemistry of sulfuric acid, wage-worked by-product industries in stearine candles, lard oil, and soap became not only possible but enormously profitable. One of the most important formations to emerge in this geography was what this chapter calls “the pigpen archipelago.” Hogs in the antebellum Ohio Valley were born, raised, and marched toward death through spaces their captors increasingly circumscribed by constructing chains of wood-enclosed islands. From breeding pens to field pens to fattening pens to the pens on the ferries and railroads, at the “hog hotels” where droves rested and refueled, and in the massive pens surrounding slaughterhouses, the always contested movements of the hogs within and between the pigpens transformed the region. This chapter looks at how both human and nonhuman actors were responsible for making Cincinnati and its hinterlands into the epicenter of a new dialectic of mass-produced animal life and death and light.

Abstract:
It was the busy summer season in Yellowstone National Park, a beautiful moonlit night with 18,000 people in the park’s campgrounds and hotels and thousands more in surrounding towns and recreation areas. At 23 minutes before midnight, a talent contest was wrapping up at the Old Faithful recreation hall. A beauty queen had just been crowned. As she walked down the aisle to the applause of several hundred people, the log building creaked loudly and began to shake. Within seconds, the earthquake sent people scurrying for the exits. A park ranger dropped the hand of his date—a waitress from Old Faithful Inn—and rushed to open the doors so no one would be trampled. Nearby, frightened guests fled Old Faithful Inn, where a waterline broke and an old stone chimney soon would collapse into a dining room, thankfully closed at that late hour. Out in the darkness, in geyser basins along Yellowstone’s Firehole River, the Earth began belching larger-than-usual volumes of hot water. About 160 geysers erupted, some for the first time, others after decades-long dormant periods. Sapphire Pool, once a gentle spring, became a violent geyser, hurling mineral deposits around Biscuit Basin. Clepsydra, Fountain, and some other geysers in Lower Geyser Basin began erupting more often than usual. Old Faithful’s eruptions became less frequent, although some observers thought it spouted with unusual vigor earlier that evening. Hundreds of hot springs became muddy. Fountain Paint Pot spewed mud violently, spattering tourist walkways. Rocks and landslides tumbled into park highways in several places, blocking roads between Old Faithful and Mammoth and closing the route to the park’s west entrance at West Yellowstone, Montana. Within an hour, thousands of vehicles streamed out of Yellowstone on roads that remained open—a serpentine parade of headlights fleeing the strongest earthquake yet recorded in the Rocky Mountains and the Intermountain West. The panic and damage in Yellowstone were minimal compared with the unimaginable horror that would overtake a popular Montana recreation area just outside the park’s northwest boundary.

Abstract:
The relationships between unit numbers and capacities to be installed for microturbine cogeneration systems are analyzed from an economic viewpoint. In analyzing, an optimization approach is adopted. Namely, unit numbers and capacities are determined together with maximum contract demands of utilities such as electricity and natural gas so as to minimize the annual total cost in consideration of annual operational strategies corresponding to seasonal and hourly energy demand requirements. This optimization problem is formulated as a large-scale mixed-integer linear programming one. The suboptimal solution of this problem is obtained efficiently by solving several small-scale subproblems. Through numerical studies carried out on systems installed in hotels by changing the electrical generating/exhaust heat recovery efficiencies, the initial capital cost of the microturbine cogeneration unit and maximum energy demands as parameters, the influence of the parameters on the optimal numbers and capacities of the microturbine cogeneration units is clarified.

Abstract:
The aim of the research was an optimization of long-term heat storage with seasonal regeneration. Energy consumption for central heating during wintertime, transfererred from ground energy storage using a heat exchange device, is the operating principle of such systems. Warmed working fluid is then used in a heat pump system. However, more accurate calculations showed that over time of usage, there is a trend toward cooling at deeper round layers. Such a situation leads to a lowering of ground potential when using heat pump systems. A possible solution to this problem is the application of summer regeneration: during summer months, the working fluid is firstly warmed in solar collectors, and then forced into the same boreholes. The numerical model of a vertical, ground heat exchange device (configured as a "pipe in pipe", known as a Fields' pipe) was specially developed. Temperature distribution of the working fluid along the pipe was one of the boundary conditions, for the co-axial, time-variable, heat conduction task, which described the heat flow in energy storage. The numerical simulation of solar collectors work was based on the Hottel - Whillier - Bliss equation, in which energy flow from the solar collector is calculated, dependant on external parameters such as: insulation or ambience temperature. The combination of three computational parts- the ground heat exchange device, energy storage area and solar collectors battery- allows the target function to be defined for task optimization. The subject of optimization was an energy quantity, which can be taken from energy underground storage, and then utilized by the heat pump system. In the summarized paper, a combination of the input data, which influenced the efficiency of energy storage, was chosen. Hypothetical data were: outside diameter and length of heat exchange device, distance between pipes, fluid flow through the pipe during charge and discharge processes or temperature of inlet working fluid. The influence of individual parameters on the target function, holding all input data constant, was analyzed. A developed evolutionary numerical code known as GENOCOP I (GEnetic algorithm for Numerical Optimization for COnstrained Problems) [3] was used for optimization. After preliminary correction of boundary values of the input data, nine attempts of optimization were taken up. The research results identified optimal values of input parameters for which maximum energy could be taken from ground storage.
