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.

From the Paper
"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
The paper examines the crisis in the hospitality industry with regard to recruitment and retention of employees. Several contributing factors to the recruitment and retention phenomenon are considered, such as increased diversity, the imbalance between skilled and unskilled labor and the nonexistent benefits, such as health insurance, profit sharing and retirement benefits. The author notes that management strategies are counterproductive and do not offer the employee real incentive to strive for achievement. The paper also addresses the issue of corporate responsibility for employees. The paper concludes with suggestions for employee retention in the hospitality industry.

From the Paper
"Several big name hostels are beginning to practice better diversity standards and seeking to create a better awareness among the public about the diversity and inherent interest in their employ. This trend will likely continue and it is hoped that it will continue to be a fruitful part of the development of individuals from varied nations, as assimilation is really a small part of immigration. Many more issues surround the struggles of immigration and diverse populations, many of which can only be answered by employment."

Sexuality in the UK's Hospitality Industry, 2005.
A look at the pervasiveness of sexuality in the United Kingdom's hospitality industry and how it is used to attract customers.

Abstract
This paper looks at the role of sexuality in the hospitality industry in the UK. The paper compares its role in the UK with its role in the United States and suggests that, while it is more blatant in the U.S., it is equally ubiquitous in the UK. The paper uses examples such as sexuality in advertising, the use of hotels for prostitution, strip clubs, and the attempts of the industry to target the younger crowd with activities comprising sexual content as a sign of how widespread sexuality in the hospitality industry really is.
From the Paper
"The hospitality industry in the UK is big business, and sexuality is an important part of this business. If we define the hospitality industry as "hotels and a myriad of leisure and catering operations of different kinds" (Mills), then the hospitality industry in the UK brings in around 50 billion pounds each year. This is around 10% of Britain's total consumer expenditure each year. In addition, the hospitality industry employs about 70% of the individuals within the wider tourism industry (Mills)."

Human Resource Management in the Hospitality Industry, 2004.

Abstract
This paper emphasizes the importance of integrating business strategy and human resource management and then identifies three different aspects of their integration. The paper goes on to look at how the integration of business strategy and human resource management applies to the hospitality industry and looks at the different strategies that have been used in this industry.
From the Paper
"The practices of people management have received additional importance due to the present emphasis on the renewed interest in human resources. Traditionally, there has always been a dividing line between operational managers and personnel managers who are now called human resource managers. In the United States the function of personnel management has been a recognized function since the National Cash Register Company had opened their personnel office in the 1890s. The American personnel managers have always closely identified themselves with the objectives of the organization and this may be considered as a unitary tradition. With this tradition, it was natural that Human Resources Management emerged in a very smooth manner. Some of us had however felt that personnel management also insisted on being called as human resources management by some companies was not really a relevant management function and served only to throttle the natural flair, initiative and creativity of the people. (The Independent, 12 May, 1994)."

"Competitive advantage generally refers to one or more aspects of an enterprise that provide it with an edge over its competition in some fashion. Based on Prahalad and Hamel's assessment, Susan Jurow offers three tests to identify a company's core competencies to help it achieve such an advantage: 1) it provides long-term strategic advantage; 2) it contributes to customer benefit; 3) and it is difficult for others to imitate (Jurow 1996, p. 300). Applying this analysis to the hospitality industry shows that while most industries are expected to recover from the shock of September 11, the tourism industry could suffer the most permanent job losses and identifying such core competencies is therefore imperative.

»

Abstract
This paper attempts to throw some light on the issue of skills shortage and labour shrinkage, which is identified as a global issue. The study is limited to the U.K. hospitality industry due to the wide scope of the subject discussed. The actions taken by the government, commercial organisations, educational institutes and trade associations to tackle this problem are critically analysed and recommendations are made for corrective action to improve the approach towards solving this issue.
From the Paper
"The negative image of the hospitality industry in turn leads to failure in attracting more young and skilled students and labour towards it. Also, many service employees have a negative perception of their jobs, who feel their job is humiliating, insulting and demeaning as they cater to the needs and sometimes eccentric wants of customers (Ghiselli, La Lopa, & Bai, 2001). Although hospitality acts as the largest provider of the non-standard employment (ILO 2001), according to Brien (2004) a job in this sector is often considered as 'a job till they get a real job'."

"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)."

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."

Hospitality Industry Training, 2008.

Abstract
This paper discusses the high turnover of employees in the hospitality industry and the need for a well-trained workforce that will stay with a job for a period of time. It discusses the current trends in the hotel industry, particularly with relation to globalization and the adoption of new technology. It also looks at the advantages of diversity training.
From the Paper
"Spillane (2007) agrees with this idea and with the need for diversity training because of changes in the global economy. His own study was centered in Southeast Asia and shows how training can improve hotel operatons. Olsen and JinLin (1997) agree and stat that the environment for international hotel operations has changed radically in recent years, moving from the old-style business model in which hotel managers were focused inwards on the hotel and its operations to a new paradigm encompassing a more externally oriented focus. They find that this especially relates to the need for asset productivity and includes a constant assessment of how the environment is changing and what competitive practices need to be adopted to achieve competitive advantage over other companies, including ongoing training. March (1997) says that such a consumer-oriented focus must recognize the similarities and differences among tourists, with training for employees to be able to serve the needs of each group identified."

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
"Suppliers obviously play a major roll in the continued success of the Ritz-Carlton hotels. The Ritz-Carlton hotels recently began offering high-speed Internet access throughout their resorts. 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
In terms of the hospitality industry, the global consumer is defined as the traveler who frequently travels outside of his or her own country, to varied destinations over the world. The Euro consumer on the other hand is the traveler who makes use of hospitality facilities primarily within Europe. The paper shows the fact that the travel industry and information technology has made world travel much less complicated than in the past, has given rise to the need to globalize the hospitality industry as well. The requirements for this, as well as the extent to which these requirements have been met, are discussed in this paper.

"In terms of the global market, there is also a need to differentiate products and other facilities within hospitality resorts. Food and beverage products are the most critical factors for success, and the need for global catering here is obvious. There is, for example, a growing demand for all-inclusive resorts. Hotels have therefore found it increasingly necessary to consolidate their resources in order to become a greater success in the global market. Globalization as a trend in all businesses has thus affected the hospitality industry as well. It is not envisioned that regional companies who do not cater to the global need will find survival easy."
