The purpose of this study is to investigate the strategic value of advertising expenditures in the tourism and hospitality industry. Adopting a market-based valuation approach and longitudinal analysis, this study assesses the magnitude of advertising value by comparing the magnitude of the value with those from other expenses and book value. Results show that the economic benefits from advertising expenditures, unlike other expenses, don’t expire in the current period. Furthermore, advertising expenditures are significant strategic investments in intangible assets, providing greater future economic benefits than other assets. In addition, there is no significant heterogeneity regarding the effectiveness of advertising expenditures across subsectors in the tourism and hospitality industry.

During last year tourism and hospitality industry recorded significant losses due to the Covid-19 pandemics. One of the reasons is that indoor activities have been recognized as one of the main contributor to virus spread. Innovative technologies can play a key role in reducing indoor interaction between guests and staff, keeping social distancing, and providing a high level of cleaning standards. This research aimed to examine whether the implementation of innovative technologies may influence customers’ perception of health risk and whether their implementation in hotels may lead to greater travelers’ confidence in the COVID-19 era. An experimental study was conducted using online customer samples. The purposed questionnaire was developed based on preventive measures taken by leading hotels and hotel chains. The sample includes 180 examinees between 20 and 54 years of age. The results indicate that the implementation of innovative technologies in reducing contact and enhancing cleanliness have a significant impact on customers’ perceived health risk and restoring travelers’ confidence.

Tourism And Hospitality

AbstractThe growth of the tourism and hospitality industry played an important role in the gentrification of the post-socialist city of Budapest. Although disinvestment was present, reinvestment was moderate for decades after 1989. Privatisation of individual tenancies and the consequent fragmented ownership structure of heritage buildings made refurbishment and reinvestment less profitable. Because of local contextual factors and global changes in consumption habits, the function of the dilapidated 19th century housing stock transformed in the 2000s, and the residential neighbourhood which was the subject of the research turned into the so called ‘party district’. The process was followed in our ongoing field research. The functional change made possible speculative investment in inner city housing and played a major role in the commodification of the disinvested housing stock.

The chapter surveys post-First World War Littlehampton, a coastal town where tourism and hospitality had overtaken maritime trade, but where coastal shipping and ship-building remained important industries. The libel case unfolded in the Beach Town district, where Littlehampton’s hotels and apartment houses were concentrated. Many of the tradesmen, small businesswomen, labourers, and domestics who serviced the tourism and hospitality industry lived in the neighbourhood. Working from the evidence George Nicholls gathered, census records, and documents in the Littlehampton Museum, the chapter provides an anatomy of the neighbourhood and then examines the families at the centre of the dispute, their economic and social position, and relationships within the household, which were often marked by violence.

AbstractThe recent rapid growth of the tourism and hospitality industries raises a question about the quantity and quality of the workforce needed in these sectors. In the tourism/hospitality industry, where most services are delivered directly by employees, competitive advantage is primarily attained through people (employees), who are perceived as an integral component of tourism experience. This creates challenges for an industry suffering from high rates of staff turnover, especially of young employees who leave their jobs after graduation, choosing other career paths.This study presents the job related motivators that students found important when considering their future careers, and investigates the extent to which those motivators can be found in the tourism and hospitality industry. Is the industry able to offer the motivators that will keep the employees willing to choose this particular path? We focus on two groups of potential employees – Polish and Spanish students. The study reveals that both groups generally do not believe that a career in the TH industry offered these motivating factors. We also contrast and compare both groups’ perceptions in this area.

Fail Safe

Ever since the corona pandemic hit the world with full rancour, people have gone into hiding thus restricting movement in all spheres, bringing their movement to a halt. It has been extrapolated since ages that movement of masses is the essence of economics. A man moves to earn, to seek visual pleasure, to seek social contact and as such the freedom to move freely, is both a legal and fundamental right, guaranteed under the Indian Constitution. The following research article aims to study the socio-legal aspect of restricted or altered human movement brought about by the pandemic and its effect on the tourism and hospitality industry. The study findings include the immense loss which the industry has suffered as result of the pandemic, followed by the path forward in terms of the new trends which may emerge in the year 2021, to cope with the loses. A further scope of study in the stated research topic may include developing fail-safe systems as method of check and balance to keep the tourism and hospitality industry afloat, in the event of such unforeseen crisis.
