Värdskap inom hotellbranschen : En kvalitativ studie om hotell i Stockholmsområdet

Olsson, Felicia, Sparrdal, Sarah January 2018 (has links)
I takt med att resandet ökar, har även konkurrensen mellan hotell ökat. För att hotell skall få återkommande gäster och goda recensioner av befintliga gäster behöver de sticka ut bland konkurrenterna. Ett sätt att göra detta är genom värdskap. Värdskap är något som personalen på hotell bidrar med när det utför en service med omtanke och inte bara på rutin. Av den anledningen har syftet med denna studie varit att få en djupare förståelse för hur värdskap på hotell i Stockholmsområdet kan påverka gästers upplevelse från ett producentperspektiv. De teorier som använts är, skillnad mellan värdskap och service, hur värdskap visas, ledningens roll i värdskapsarbetet, värdskap på en teaterscen, värdskap i teamet och värdskap efter vistelsen används och analyserats. En kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer tillämpades för insamling av primärdata. Slutsatser som kan dras av denna studie är att värdskap kommer till uttryck i olika former, vilket är beroende av vilken service och image hotellen vill förmedla till sina gäster, samt vilken organisationskultur hotellen har. En annan slutsats som kan dras är att värdskap är knutet till bemötandet av gäster. / The continuing increase in traveling has over the years resulted in greater competition between hotels. In order for hotels to receive good reviews to attract new guests whilst simultaneously maintaining relationships with recurring guests they need to stand out among competitors. One way to do so is through exceptional hospitality. Exceptional hospitality means that the hotels services are delivered with care and attention, rather than being viewed as a routine. For this reason, the purpose of this study has been to gain a deeper understanding of how hospitality at hotels in Stockholm can affect the guest's experience from a producer perspective. The following will be researched; the difference between hospitality and service, how hospitality are shown, management’s role in hospitality, hospitality on a theater scene, hospitality in the team and hospitality after a stay at a hotel is used and analyzed. A qualitative method in form of interviews has been used to collect primary data. The results from this study are that hospitality can be shown in different ways. It depends on what type of service or image the hotel wants to communicate to their guests and what type of culture the organisation has and wants to maintain. The final conclusion is that hospitality is connected to the treatment of the guests at the hotel.

Resan från Tyskland till Småländska Torsås : Tyska fritidshusturisters dilemma mellan  resekostnader och lönsamhet

Kohnen, Joanna January 2013 (has links)
I början av 1990-talet utbröt den svenska fritidshusboomen bland tyska turister. Den dåvarande låga konjunkturen i Sverige drev på försäljningen av övergivna fritidshus i gles- och landsbygd.  För många tyska turister kunde därmed drömmen av ett eget fritidshus på landet förvekligas. Husköpen ansågs vara en bra investering. En möjlighet att fly det tätbebodda Tyskland, i hopp om ett bättre liv på fritiden. En del bländades dock av Astrid Lindgrens sagolika land och de frestande låga fastighetspriserna. I samtiden brottas tyska fritidshusturister med tankarna att avskaffa sina fritidshus då de vid förvärven tanklöst handlade efter känsla, snarar än förstånd.   Sedan 90-talets början har infrastrukturers utveckling öppnat upp gränserna mellan Tyskland och Sverige allt mer. Som en påföljd av detta har även resekostnader ökats. För dem som vid fritidshusförvärven inte övervägt tillgängligheten kan i dagsläget brottas med höga resekostnader och i längden inte längre finna lönsamheten i sina fritidshus. Fritidshusturisterna är återkommande turister som under flera veckor, året runt vistas i Sverige. De besöker sevärdheter, turistmål, konsumerar samhällsenliga tjänster och driver på den svenska besöksnäringens omsättning. Uteblir de tyska fritidshusturisterna måste turismbranschen börja tänka om.

Post-human Hospitality? Opportunities and risks with AI : An exploratative case study of AI in the hospitality industry of Värmland / Posthumanistiskt värdskap? Möjligheter och risker med AI : En explorativ fallstudie av AI inom besöksnäringen i Värmland

Wannemo, Fredrik January 2024 (has links)
The thesis is an explorative case study focusing on the hospitality in the region of Värmland in Sweden as conceived by stakeholders in the hospitality industry. The purpose of this thesis is to expand the knowledge of how AI impacts the meaning of hospitality, by mapping how stakeholders within the different parts of the touristic system perceives and uses AI development of experiences and services that combine physical and digital spaces. Previous research in connection with AI and the hospitality industry laid the foundation for the result and analysis in the thesis. Selected theory dealt with tourism, hospitality, digitalisation, technological fixes and hybrid spaces. A hospitality perspective was selected to highlight the essence of human-to-human interaction, while also including how AI can influence interaction and services in physical and digital spaces, going beyond the focus on economical promises usually taken in tourism studies of AI. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders of the hospitality industry in Värmland. The interview guides were based on the previous research and theoretical framework, which aided the process of gathering relevant empirical data from respondents of the different stakeholder groups, thus, contributing adequate answers to the research questions. With these means it was possible to see and map the different perspectives on what effects AI has on hospitality. The conclusion shows that the hospitality industry in Värmland is gradually exploring AI, with only a few stakeholders actively involved in projects with AI. There is a significant interest due to AI's potential to improve efficiency and create new offerings, but limited financial and human resources especially for the many small businesses in the region, along with a lacking mature state of AI hinder widespread adoptions. Stakeholders believe that AI will align with tourist needs, impacting power dynamics between tourists and destinations. AI is expected to paradoxically affect hospitality by potentially increasing or decreasing human interactions, with tourists increasingly becoming producers of their own experiences. Tourists generally have a neutral stance on AI in hospitality, preferring its use in information gathering and travel planning rather than as the experience itself. Human interaction remains highly valued, suggesting AI will rather enhance than replace it, leading to a setting of post-human hospitality. Looking ahead, stakeholders approach AI cautiously, acknowledging the need to address data privacy, regulation, and power dynamics. They see opportunities in AI but remain wary of ethical and societal implications.
