From the Paper:

"For hotel and motel management and operations to be comprehensively understood, they must be considered within the context of the hospitality industry as a whole. Within this framework the management and operations of hotel and motel's is best understood and analyzed (Gray & Liguori, 1993). The hotel industry has existed since the dawn of time. At one time or another all men traveled, and in the course of travel needed to find adequate lodging of some sort. Traditionally this lodging came in the form of a room or bed in the home of a stranger. The travel and tourism industry in fact emerged from the need of man to travel (Gray & Liguori, 1993). From the earliest times there is evidence that man sought out refuge from people and hospitality; as early as in Biblical times and in ancient Greece and Rome in fact there is evidence that people offered hospitality to traveling strangers (Gray & Liguori, 1993)."
