research is still lagging behind those fields. He identified the principal schools of thought in hospitality as follows: Hospitality science model: Based on the natural and physical sciences ● such as chemistry, biology and physics. Studies of this type include research in diet, nutrition, ergonomics, equipment performance and so on. Hospitality ma...
Hospitality is rooted in the relationships that develop between hosts and guests, a dynamic which has existed since the first human societies emerged. The early relationship was defined in terms of honour and respect within reciprocal framework. It was an honour for someone to visit you and, as good host, you treated your guest with respect and off...
These elements help to translate the anthropological approaches into the domain of the manager and the service provider that we will go on to explore. The context of international
The hospitality offer takes many forms, the hotel room, the coffee or should that be low-fat latté, the restaurant, the time share and so on. These offers share a common starting point in the relationship between the provider and the customer. However these relations are structured in many ways, by the expectations of the organization and by the cu...
speculation. In Hungary we serve tea but with lemon not milk, but we do not go into the Turkish tradition of sugaring everything despite, or because of, the years of Turkish occupation. The offer of tea is therefore culturally a complex one, drawing on the specific cultural patterns of the hosts and may well challenge the conventional expectations ...

We believe that such tensions are at the heart of managing international hospitality. How the specific and the different can be presented to the guest/customer as an exciting and satisfying experience, without reduc-ing everything to a standardized commodity is at the heart of the chal-lenge faced by the industry. We believe that we need this book ...
Most management texts assume that the concept of management is self-explanatory, it is after all about managing. We feel that the concept deserves slightly more consideration as our perspective will suggest that the ways in which management is interpreted is itself culturally significant and introduces a change into the operating environment of the...
Let us consider what the process of management involves and therefore what is required of the manager. We believe that there are six components of the managerial role: Strategy: Determining the direction of the organization and establish-ing the ways in which it will be able to achieve its objectives. Structure: Considering how the organization is ...

interconnections, crossovers, reinforcements and contradictions between and within the elements and their settings. This book is built around the central notion of culture and the way it con-structs the hospitality industry, from design to offer, for both the develop-ers and the guests. We therefore have to say something about the way that this not...
approaches which makes the transition to services difficult in some areas. We would also note that the cultural specificity of these accounts in west-ernized, capitalist, modernist societies also creates issues for translation into other societies, with different traditions and historical contexts. We see our challenge as authors as setting the iss...
positions which have been constructed are no longer tenable. The debate has moved on and the market has moved on – more accurately, the markets have moved on. The consumer, for that is what the guest is, has moved on. The implication must also be therefore that the core no longer exists. Where are the claimants for the title of the capital of the g...
There are not many clues! The format is very familiar – the Coca-Cola cups almost omnipresent. There are examples of French, Italian, Japanese and Thai characters but the actual clue is in the word “bufé”. This marks the setting out as Hungarian and it is, in fact, the Balaton Plaza in Veszprém in Hungary. Take this opportunity to look at your loca...
The implications of this are felt all the way through the hospitality and tourism model and inform the analyses offered in the chapters that follow this introduction. Globalization fundamentally challenges the way in which hospitality and tourism are constructed. At its very basic, it impacts because some of the opportunities are no longer there. S...
the discourse that there is something to worry about it. The experience of Jamaica is relevant here, as the introduction of all inclusive resorts to the island was in part designed to offset the sense of threat tourists were thought to feel from the increasing violence in the capital. However the discussions around the bars and the pools in the all...
The prospect is that the industry will have to work increasingly hard at ensuring that the hospitality and tourism offer meets the expectations and the needs of their tourists. It will have to do that with the pretourism expe-rience as well as the events in the destination. This will then ensure that the tourists who arrive in the destination leave...
■ The book will now take you through a series of chapters that outline the parameters of the international hospitality industry, drawing your attention to the dynamics of the development through a series of international case studies. We have selected the case studies and examples from a wide range
of contemporary sources to try and maintain the immediacy of the book but also to demonstrate the range of the industry we are concerned with. The first part of the book deals with the importance of culture in shaping the industry and the expectations which drive it. These will be arguments that are presented and then critiqued from the perspective...
The final chapter will offer the evaluation of a large international case study, elaborating the implications for now and for the future. This will give a concrete rehearsal of the arguments we have developed throughout the book, exploring issues (such as cultural/political/economic environ-ments, international market development, emerging markets,...
