From the Paper
"Travel and tourism are the largest industries in the world (Tarlow 2003). "From leisure to business travel and/or business plus pleasure travel, this modem industry plays a major role in economies around the globe" (Tarlow 2003, p. 52). In societies where travel has become dangerous and global products are available locally, the need to travel will diminish in the future. Likewise, the increased use of technology means that more meetings and conferences will be held in offices instead of convention centers. As a result, communities that have based their economic future solely on travel and tourism may find themselves in very difficult financial situations (Tarlow 2002). Furthermore, in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (Elkin 2001), and the current uneasy state of affairs in Europe and the Middle East, increasing security will be a must for air carriers, hotels, restaurants, and other services (Tarlow 2002). Unfortunately, increased security also can represent an impediment for luxury destinations (Holliday 2002)."

Abstract
This paper explains that the explosive growth in the hospitality industry demands highly-qualified people trained in hospitality management to fill rapidly opening positions. The author points out that the research indicates that attributes are not the key to selecting a career in the hospitality industry. The paper concludes that the "graduate image" was not always accepted as being valuable, and often students felt they had to prove themselves more because they had an education.

"Clearly with these companies and many others, certification is becoming a requirement for practice. Maintaining and enhancing the industry's professional certification programs have one central purpose according to Karen Giles, the Vice President responsible for certification programs, "To increase the value of certification so that in turn, certification raises the professionalism of the entire hospitality industry and everyone who works within it. Certification and the standards of competency it brings will help the hospitality industry become recognized as the profession it is. By defining a body of knowledge necessary for each hospitality position, certification gives everyone, from housekeepers to general managers, concrete goals to strive for and a way to benchmark their personal successes.""

From the Paper
"In 1988, tourism once again began a rise. This time, however, the crisis in the Middle East that eventually erupted into the Gulf War brought tourism to a screeching halt. When the Gulf War ended, tourism was once again expected to begin a growth phase. By that time, however, the United States had entered into another economic recession, and economic activity in most of the other industrial nations had begun to slow. At that time, recovery in the travel industry was not expected to occur until the mid-1990s."

Abstract
This paper explains that the hotel industry has been very dissatisfied with the current technology system being used due to its' ineffectiveness in the pursuit of satisfying future business needs in the hospitality industry because it (1) lacks effective inter-vendor cooperation and systems integration, (2) drawbacks in the current
technology financing process and (3) has poor adoption of modern technologies. The author points out that the complexity of the systems presently in use in many of the hotels do not and will not ever have the capacity to streamline the process, much less increase the ROI for the company. The paper relates that hospitality industry is seeking new information technology solutions to meet the growing demands of the high-tech business world, which interacts with the hospitality industry and counts upon services such as those provided by the Hilton and the Marriott hotels.

From the Paper
"Contractual licensing and use restrictions have led to many of the current existing restrictions of software in the hospitality industry as well as the unwillingness of the vendors in supporting the requirements of integration needed by their customers in the industry. More than the technical standards are needed as they create only the platform for open systems while business standards needed are for the ensuring of the contract right of the hotels in licensing and integration of systems. The vendors do have however, a right in protection of their intellectual property as well as the right to compete in software provision as well as provision of services for assistance with integration efforts. In order to avoid many of these limitations the HTNG White Paper suggests and even urges the adoption of the following forward-thinking business standards that respond to and answer the needs in the hotel industry."

"The initial efforts of the postwar reconstruction called the Marshall Plan actually provided very little benefit to the nation of Greece. Part of that may be attributed to the fact that Greece had a major Civil War between 1946 and 1949 therefore the world's attention for post war reconstruction following World War II turned to other nations.

"Moreover, it is noted from the outset that the Greek Government and the Greek Orthodox Church both oppose increased "Timesharing in Greece," and each group for specific reasons of law and religious preservation of institutions. With these factors in mind, one shall be equipped to make an informed decision as to one's position on this issue. One factor obvious from the outset is that one cannot straddle the fence on this issue as many compromises shall be necessary to make this institution workable in Greece."

The Hospitality Industry, 2005.
This paper discusses the use of statistics in the Canadian and American hospitality industry.

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the gathering, collating, reviewing and study of statistics, usually freely available from governmental agencies, are vital to any industry; Canada comes up woefully short of information applicable to the hospitality industry in comparison with the quality of the information available from United States agencies. The author points out that the information or data presented by the Canadian Tourism Commission, the Canadian Tourism Research Institute and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Division is highly suspect, is totally incomplete and generally pertains to tourism within Canada thus giving little recognition to international travel, tourism and hospitality industries. The paper demonstrates the use of U.S. government highway development information by the hospitality industry to expand hotels and other leisure attractions in Nashville and Memphis as an example of the use of statistics to create high-yield investments.

"In the Knoxville area, Interstate 75 - a north to south major artery - and Interstate 40 - a coast to coast east to west artery - intersect are right now in the midst of a half-billion dollar downtown re-development program to enhance their economy. As with most cities of its size in the south and elsewhere, the downtown section was in fast rate of decline because of urban sprawl. By the use of strategic data from TDOT, the city fathers decided that they could bring the downtown area back to life and add tremendously to the tax-base by means of the re-development plan. It was found that travelers from east to west that normally drive through can be attracted to spend the night in the "new downtown," by redeveloping the waterfront and making it an attractive tourist destination. The anchor businesses, of course, are reasonably priced, yet luxurious hotel/motel type accommodations."

Abstract
This paper compares the use of ancient and modern hospitality in the context of literary and modern practices of caring for a guest. The paper notes that, although the context of travel and hospitality were not as open and dignified as it is in a modern context, the use of familial or guest orientated hospitality in the ancient world is still ever-present today. Moreover, the paper concludes that the ideology of generosity to travelers is the continuous strain of thought that is every present in a humans "natural" ability to help those that need help while away from home
From the Paper
"In ancient biblical times, the family unit was a major component for hospitality within the Judaic tribes, which made a manifest unit that was bound to be respectful to one another. This early interpretation of hospitality was often thought to have been exclusive to the tribes alone, yet there is a great deal of information that suggests there was more connection to the outer world than once thought. The primary suggestion that early tribes were isolationist is an absolute in historical studies that has been challenged due to the nature social interaction that must have occurred for human connectivity to occur. However, the majority of opinions on these ancient tribes appear to provide an insular perspective on hospitality, since the laws of the tribe may have appeared exclusive to the tribe alone. But in certain case, one can derive a certain modernity about tribal customs that deviated from this linear view:"

The Definition of Hospitality, 2005.

Abstract
This paper relates to the personal definition of hospitality for a client. The writer points out that as the client provided some information as to his/her concepts relative to hospitality, they have been included and expanded upon. The writer discusses that hospitality is a malleable concept when it comes to hotel management and that these concepts are integral to success in such endeavors.
From the Paper
"Hospitality has been formally defined as a "cordial reception: kindness in welcoming guests or strangers." The dictionary's portrayal of what constitutes hospitality, however, is inadequate to truly and fully depict what hospitality means to someone working within the hotel management industry. In fact, the dictionary's definition of hospitality only begins to touch upon the word's importance as it utilized in action to serve patrons. To the writer, the hospitality constitutes creating a scenario in which customer/guest needs are placed first and, in so achieving, it is integral to achieve an atmosphere that will serve to allow guests from a variety of backgrounds to feel equally at ease. Moreover, hospitality cannot be completely achieved unless each employee is committed to the mission, which requires leadership from the top down exhibiting commitment to quality service; maintenance of a good attitude and a good personal appearance."

Abstract
This paper explains that food products from Greece are specialty and ethic delicacies in many of the Balkan countries and in Russia; however, the management styles employed by many of the Greek firms leave much to be desired. The author points out that Greek industries need to improve their strategies for business-to-business (B2B) operations and the customer relationship management (CRM). The paper stresses that failure of established companies in new markets often is not the result of poor product quality or performance, but rather the companies are using marketing and sales strategies that do not conform to the local ideas and values.

"The cost of products from Greece is not very much higher when compared to the other southeast European countries and Russia. The marketing infrastructure for foreign products is not very well developed and Greek companies wishing to do business in the region find partners and create alliances with local entrepreneurs. While Russia has opened its markets to foreign food products, government rules and sanctions still exist. Russia is a very large country and ensuring that products are distributed to all markets is practically impossible. As with any other industry having economies to scale in the food industry is also important."

Management in the Tourism and Hospitality Industries, 2002.
Analyzes the use of operations management in the hospitality and tourism industries.
1,686 words (approx. 6.7 pages), 15 sources, APA, $ 54.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper defines the term "operations management" and explains how this type of management came about. It talks about how operations management, at one time applied only to products, now applies to services as well. This change has allowed the tourism and hospitality industries to rely on operations management, even though its original concept of derived from production environments. The paper goes on to discuss the way operations management is utilized in the tourism and hospitality industries and why it is so important to these industries. The case of Marriott International is used to illustrate the points made by the paper.
From the Paper
"During the 20th century, management was considered to be the domain of those at the top of the company making decisions and strategizing for the short and long term. With the emergence of the scientific management school of Frederick Taylor and Henry Ford, a new breed of managers became dominant in organizations. Over the years, the trend changed to give rise to a new school of management that would allow the top management to oversee the staffs while they are working as well as resolve problems and issues on the spot. The basic premise had been to allow decision makers to interact with staffs in their day to day activity and be able to fully realize the implication of their decisions."

From the Paper
"Success in the hospitality industry increasingly demands an understanding of many other aspects of popular culture and trends. The term "lifestyle hotel" that has now been adopted by a certain kind of brand name accommodation says it all. Meant as a take off on the "boutique hotel" it carries even further the idea that hospitality is about how people live, and what they want out of life. The personal touches of the lifestyle and boutique hotels, lodges, resorts, and other accommodations speak to the almost hyper-individuality of today's traveler - whether businessperson or tourist. This hyper-individualism is a feature of much of contemporary culture. The hospitality industry must permit itself to be directed by the same powerful forces that have shaped - and dramatically transformed - modern society. The old communal world that existed prior to the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s has produced a new ethos, one that seemingly shares little with the community-based standards of an earlier day."
