Hotel property development : a framework for successful developmentsVenter, Ivan 05 April 2007 (has links)
Although there are similarities between hotel and other commercial property developments in terms of land, structures and services, it is important when developing hotels to understand that they have unique characteristics. These unique characteristics are that hotels require specific management expertise, are usually a “single-use” property, whose primary revenue is generated from a service-based industry, and has a market value that is directly related to its ability to generate future net income. The essence of successful hotel property developments lies in understanding these unique characteristics, as illustrated in the dissertation literature review. In addition, the dissertation identifies various critical success factors for hotel development which in turn is incorporated into a hotel property development framework, establishing a practical ‘road map’ for successful hotel developments. The literature review incorporates a wide range of hotel topics, such as the principles of a hotel business, fundamentals of the tourism industry as a motivator for hotel development, property development in general, hotel property development, strategic hotel management, hotel property development feasibility studies, hotel market analysis, financial feasibility, risk management of hotel developments, financing of hotel property developments, the project team and consultants, the design phases, and finally the construction phase. The dissertation empirical study tests the validity of the hotel property development framework, by presenting it to and questioning hotel development professionals in intensive direct interviews. / Dissertation (MSc(Real Estate))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Construction Economics / unrestricted

A Test of the Co-Alignment Principle in Independent Hotels: A Case StudyTaylor, Marcia Hillary 17 December 2002 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to understand the types of competitive methods used by independent hotels in their bid to obtain and sustain competitive advantage. The concept of the co-alignment principle, as it relates to the choice of competitive methods and their implementation, was the focus of the research. The study investigated the co-alignment between the elements of the co-alignment principle; strategy choice, firm structure and firm performance. Five hotels in Jamaica and two propositions were used to test the model. The theoretical discussions were based upon the resource-based view literature. The empirical section of the study consisted of in-depth case studies, direct observations, guests' surveys and secondary data of independently owned and operated hotels in Jamaica. Interviews were conducted with general managers (or acting general managers) and other managers at each hotel.
The study revealed the importance of co-alignment in hotels and the results indicated that performance was best when there was co-alignment. The results also indicated that the competitive methods cited by managers, as providing the greatest value to the hotels, were not always in line with what guests saw as important to them. Six conclusions were reached, which revealed the actions of managers of independent hotels. Unlike past research that focused on only one element of the co-alignment principle, this study focused on three elements; strategy choice, firm structure, and firm performance. The fourth element, environmental forces, was held constant in this study. / Ph. D.

The Product of Fantasy and Themed Hotels in remote peripheral locations of Northern Sweden: Case of Treehotel, Stora Hotellet and ‘Rock Hotel’.Nangah, Angyrette January 2016 (has links)
Very often remote peripheral locations with scarce unique attractions find it difficult to attract investment and development in many spheres including tourism. Yet some innovative entrepreneurs have taken advatage of some of these locations, using the natural resources (though not scarce) that they posses to develop themed tourism. The success of these themed establishments located in remote peripheries is renounced as they attract tourists world wide. This thesis therefore explores the fantasy and themed hotel product and location as elements of attraction in peripheral locations. Information obtained through consultation with expersts will not only bring new knowlege to academia on the subject; it would also be useful in planning new themed destination products in the periphery since it provides inside knowledge on what to consider when setting up establishments of like characteristics.

Marketing, innovation and business relations in Scotland's rural hotel industry : a regional development perspectiveEdmond, Helen January 2009 (has links)
The research examines strategic marketing practices involved in knowledge development and innovation in Scotland’s rural hotels, as well as the business relations which potentially support this. The research draws on regional development literature – especially that concerned with innovation and flows of knowledge between small businesses. Rural development, tourism and hotel industry literatures are used to ground the research within a rural and wider tourism industry context. Referring to the critique of regional development literature, the role of different forms of proximity and the influence of competition in business relations are assessed. In doing so, the wider applicability of regional development concepts is tested and considered. Implications for public sector policy and support are assessed, with reference to tensions between rural development approaches and those adopted in Scottish tourism policy. The research uses a multi-method approach involving quantitative postal survey data, supplemented by qualitative interview data. Both marketing and relational activities were found to be limited in scope, focusing on short term, sales-oriented activities. Attitudes to co-operation varied depending on competitive considerations and the stage of the marketing process involved: trust-based issues, sectoral characteristics and internal business factors being influential. Geographical and organisational proximity were both found to be insufficient in supporting co-operation, geographical proximity even being detrimental in certain sets of relations. Public sector policy does not sufficiently address the constraints and opportunities facing smaller tourism businesses in their marketing and innovation activities. In both policy and theoretical terms there may be scope to avoid unnecessary polarisation between local and wider development, recognising a role for local or regional resources and development processes in achieving national objectives – simultaneously taking advantage of both competitive and co-operative approaches to relations and making use of local and extra-local inputs and networks.

Organizational Socialization Tactics and Learning in the United States Hotel IndustryAmanda R. Bies (5929520) 13 August 2019 (has links)
<div>
<p>Employee
turnover is widely recognized as a concern for hospitality employers. Therefore, strategies are needed to attract
and retain workers. Organizational
newcomers are vulnerable to job stressors that lead to burnout and
turnover. However, organizational
socialization facilitates employee learning and adjustment, which subsequently
reduced turnover intentions. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact
of organizational socialization tactics on the domains of socialization
learning and on organizational commitment in the hotel industry. The study also investigated the influence of
socialization tactics and learning on turnover intentions. Additionally, the study explored content,
context, and social aspects of organizational socialization tactics used by
hotels to facilitate employee learning. The
study utilized a mixed methods approach including survey data from employees of
upper midscale and upscale hotels in the Midwest, and interviews conducted with
a convenience sample of survey participants.
Empirical analyses were conducted using descriptive statistics, t-tests,
analyses of variances, and regression analyses.
Thematic analysis was used for interview transcripts. Findings indicate higher perceived levels of institutionalized
organizational socialization tactics do positively impact the four domains of socialization
learning – training, understanding, coworker support, and future
prospects. Higher levels of two socialization learning domains,
coworker support and future prospects, positively impacted organizational
commitment. Institutionalized
socialization tactics and the socialization learning domain of future prospects
were negatively associated with turnover intentions. Interview findings enhanced survey data on
organizational socialization tactics in the hotel industry. There was a higher prevalence of individual
and informal learning, and employees have limited awareness of sequential steps
or fixed timetables. Employees engaged
in observational learning related to job duties from coworkers, and observation
of customer service skills from their supervisors. The study also found employees are learning
interpersonal skills from guest interaction, including how they can integrate guest
feedback into their organizational roles.
The study demonstrates the positive influence of institutionalized
organizational tactics on employee learning in the hotel industry and provides
further context on socialization tactics from an employee perspective. Implications, limitations, and
recommendations for future study are discussed.
Practitioners are encouraged to engage in institutionalized socialization
activities. Employers can also cultivate
an organizational climate that enhances hands-on learning by adopting
socialization activities that enhance employee self-efficacy and encourage
relationship building between coworkers.
