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)."

From the Paper
"All the hotels, pubs and restaurants were diversifying their customer base, in particular to even out peaks and troughs in demand by attracting a mix of business and leisure customers, while the contract catering companies also balanced corporate clients with leisure functions, high street retailing and specialist supply to hotels. While two-thirds of the establishments were expanding or diversifying their product service range, there was some contrasting evidence of increasing segmentation and specialization."

"Middle upscale hotels are also able to lower rates during times of adverse economic environments. Many of these hotels have found it to their mutual advantage to engage in strategic partnerships with organizations such as the American Association of Retired Persons and the Automobile Association of America by offering discounts during off-season periods or during adverse economic periods. All-suite middle upscale hotels include AmeriSuites (Howard Johnson), Embassy, Guest Quarters, Hawthorne, Homewood, Lexington, and Residence Inn by Marriott."

"Many studies on international business management have focused on cultural differences, cultural adjustment and adjustment failures of expatriate managers (Pizam, 1993; Hall and Hall, 1990; Francis, 1991; Lee, 1998; Tse, Francis and Walls, 1994). One study reported about a 40% failure rate of expatriates assigned to overseas positions (Tung, 1981). These failures were not the result of technical incompetence, but were because of cultural differences in the foreign country. Communication across cultures has a major impact on the effectiveness of management operations (Munter, 1993; Shuter, 1989). Since language is an important tool for communication, the expatriate manager?s ability to speak the host language can enhance his management effectiveness and help gain respect from local staff (Harries and Bandin, 1973; Seward, 1975; Terpstra, 1978).
Expatriate managers in China might experience confusion, frustration and failure due to sudden government policy changes (Shenker, 1990; Stross, 1991)."

From the Paper
"The Economist Intelligence Unit expects continued fiscal operating surpluses over the next several years, but also maintains that increases in government spending are not likely as the government focuses on building up the new pension fund. This fund should put more money in the hands of pensioners, who regularly go on seaside vacations. The Economist expects GDP growth to slow from 2.7% in 2003 to 2.5% in 2004, but to increase to 3% in 2005. Consumer price inflation is expected to fall within the central bank?s 1-3% target range. The current-account deficit will widen to 5% of GDP in 2003, but is forecast to narrow again to 4% of GDP by 2005."

Four Seasons Hotel, 2006.
An overview and analysis of the hospitality industry, using the Four Season Hotel chain to illustrate issues about managing costs and quality.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper notes that the hospitality industry, which includes travel, businesses, hotels, restaurants, and theme parks among other businesses, operates on a relatively small margin in most cases and can be adversely affected by economic changes and by customer dissatisfaction that then translates into bad word of mouth. Businesses like hotels and restaurants thus have to set and meet quality standards that contribute to customer satisfaction and also must provide customer service. At the same time, such businesses have to try to keep down labor costs in order to stay within the small profit margin they usually face. This paper discusses some of these issues by examining the way that the Four Seasons Hotel chain has managed costs and quality in recent years. The Four Seasons Hotel Chain is a Canadian-based company that began with one hotel in Toronto.

From the Paper
"The RM model at Queen's Hotel intends to optimize pricing for its room by considering variability over time and capacity constraints. This is run on Excel spreadsheet whose task is precisely to price hotel rooms and set capacities for various room classes. Operated on three phases, the RM model starts by setting the classes of rooms, identifying prices and expected demand as well as the demand elasticity for each class. Elasticity here refers to the percentage increase in demand with a 1 percent increase in prices."
