"Social custom dictates that handshakes are an important part of greeting someone. In addition the Arab custom believes that one should not address a woman unless one has been properly introduced to that woman. The hotel industry has worked to accommodate both the Arab culture and the western culture within their guests. Offering alcohol to an Arab is considered offensive if one is not positive that the Arab drinks, however, in western civilization offering a drink is considered a mark of politeness. The Dubai hotel industry has had to incorporate ways to offer drinks without offending any guests.
Ramadan is the most revered holiday among Muslims and it is considered extremely offensive to eat, drink or smoke in front a Muslim from sunup to sun down during that time frame. The Dubai hotel industry has devised methods to allow non Muslim guests to partake in food and beverage without offending the Muslim locals and guests. "

From the Paper
"Yield management is the balance of selling limited and perishable inventories at the right price to the right customers. This means that a single commercial airplane flight can have many different prices based on the needs of the travelers involved and when they purchased their ticket. Hotels can have guests paying different rates for essentially the same room, and even hospitals are competing in ways that not only boost their occupancy rates, but their overall yield results.
Initially begun in the hospitality industry, yield management can be incorporated into other related industries where the conditions are right. However, there is the potential for problems if managers focus exclusively on yield management instead of building into their overall strategic plan."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Without a clear understanding of the innovative manner in which the hospitality industry has grown, both domestically and internationally it might be easy for the modern consumer to assume that advances in technology are not a priority in the industry. This would be an assumption made in error, as historically speaking the hospitality industry has been demanding and producing innovation since it began. The industry has led the way in the development especially of food and beverage transportation, storage and preparation, business strategy developments as well as communications technology so they can more easily provide the consumer with quality at an increasingly rapid rate of delivery."

Abstract
This paper explains that, today, it is becoming increasingly clear that there is a growing need for technological literacy, but it is unclear how technology education teachers are making decisions on classroom practice based on the "Standards for Technological Literacy", which focuses on what every student in grades K-12 should know and be able to do in order to be technologically literate. The author states that the study will address the issue of assessing standards-based training needs through a critical review of the scholarly literature followed by a survey of what 7th to 10th grade technology education teachers in Arizona know about the standards, how they are using them and what the need for standards-based training. The paper relates that a Likert-type scale will be used to determine the acceptance and use of the STL and to measure the perceived needs of standards-based training.

From the Paper
"To date, thousands of technology teachers, science and mathematics teachers, and other educators and experts from around the country have collaborated in an effort to identify precisely what students in kindergarten through 12th grade should be learning about technology. This group, together with content specialists and representatives from the National Research Council (NRC) and the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), reviewed Standards for Technological Literacy and recommended modifications and additions. The resulting document, supported by both NRC and NAE, defined the study of technology as a discipline and provided a framework for individual teachers, schools, school districts, and states or provinces to develop technological literacy in all students. The research to date indicates that when schools provide students with a quality education in their primary language they provide them with two things: knowledge and literacy."

Abstract

technology financing process and (3) has poor adoption of modern technologies.

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."

Abstract
Discount prices and distinctive products are no longer a complete solution for success in the hospitality industry. The paper shows that high-end hotel chains, for example, simply do not have the luxury of reducing the prices. This assessment focuses on research of the Ritz-Carlton Hotels, LLC. The objective of assessing how the various departments in the hospitality industry meet external customers? and suppliers? requirements was the main objective. The Ritz-Carlton is world famous for paying special attention to the customer and the organization?s suppliers.
From the Paper

STSN, a leading provider of high-speed Internet technology and services, is the supplier for the hotel chain. The Ritz-Carlton has reported that frequent guests of competitors are beginning to change their loyalties because of the Ritz-Carlton?s affiliation to the new high-speed Internet provider."

Abstract
This paper focuses primarily on current issues in hotel and motel management and operations, as well as the travel and tourism industry in general. More specifically, the paper discusses the utilization of technology as an asset in hotel and motel management and operations.
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)."

Abstract
This paper explains that creative, innovative schools and educators are striving to incorporate technology, which will broaden the scope of their classroom with research and project-based learning; unfortunately, these innovative schools and educators are in the minority. The author points out that the research on whether or not technology can be used to increase student learning varies widely: Some research indicates that technology has little impact on achievement while other research indicates that technology is "the" answer. The paper relates that the conditions for the effective use of educational technology are access, functionality, technical development and professional development.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There are four ways to categorize technology and how it is used for instruction in the classroom. According to Means( 1994), the four uses for technology in education are: as a tutor, to explore, as applied tools, and to communicate. When technology teaches directly to the student with little help from the teacher it is being used as a tutor. When technology is used in this manner, the student is not free to explore, instead they are guided in a step by step-by-step manner by the technology. Drill and practice software, instructional television and computer assisted instruction are examples of technology as a tutor. Using technology as a tutor is especially effective for learning languages and for providing enrichment activities for students who need additional reinforcement of skills."
