A PGP, Personal Graduation Plan, is a flexible college and career education plan for each student based on endorsements and career clusters. A PGP is helpful to students in three ways. First, a PGP is adjustable which allows students change their minds. Second, a PGP encourages students to take responsibility for their own path. And third, no two PGP’s are exactly the same which allows each student to create a plan of action for achieving his or her own individual goals and success! The goal of Humble ISD is to have every eighth grader create a PGP which is reviewed each year and can be revised as necessary. We accomplish this goal by encouraging students to work with their parents, teachers, and counselors to explore interests and careers and create a plan using the Bridges program at www.bridges.com.

  • Hotel Manager Attitudes Toward Environmental Sustainability Practices: Empirical Findings from Hotels in Phuket, Thailand
    HOTEL MANAGER ATTITUDES TOWARD ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES: EMPIRICAL FINDINGS FROM HOTELS IN PHUKET, THAILAND by SIVIKA SAENYANUPAP B.A., Prince of Songkla University, 2005 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master Science in Hospitality and Tourism Management in the Rosen College of Hospitality Management at the University of Central Florida Orlando, Florida Spring Term 2011 © 2011 Sivika Saenyanupap ii ABSTRACT This study explored the attitudes of hotel managers in Phuket, Thailand, in an attempt to identify whether their attitudes influence their utilization of environmental sustainability practices. Due to the increasing number of visitors to Phuket, Thailand, the consumption of natural resources has increased in the region, causing serious environmental problems. A sustainable way forward is needed for the tourism industry in the region in order to maintain quality of service while reducing environmental damage. The data analyzed in this study came from self-administered questionnaires that surveyed hotel managers in Phuket, Thailand, with a sample of 243 respondents. Research results revealed three dimensions of hotel manager attitude toward environmental sustainability practices, including operational management, social obligation, and sustainability strategy and policy. Furthermore, three constraints on the implementation of environmental management practices were identified: lack of support, perceived difficulty, and lack of demand. The attitudes of hotel managers regarding specific factors and barriers are also presented in this study. The results of this study show that hotel managers overall possess positive attitudes toward environmental sustainability practices. Finally, the findings reveal that hotel managers’ attitudes toward sustainability practices depend on their social demographics, the type of hotel they operate, their degree of ownership of the hotel, whether or not their hotel was affected by the 2004 tsunami, and the year their hotel was built.

  • February 2011 Letter Indy Hotels CLEAN
    February 21, 2011 Dear Florida State Senators: As independent Florida hoteliers, we respectfully urge you to vote for Senate Bill 376. This legislation would clarify that the service fees charged by online travel agencies for the facilitation of hotel bookings in Florida are not taxable under transient occupancy tax laws. Independent hotel owners rely on the services and marketing support provided by online travel agencies to help book hotel rooms that would otherwise go empty. Many independent hotels lack the marketing infrastructure of large hotel chains like Marriott and our lodging companies often partner with online travel companies to stay competitive —particularly du ring slower travel seasons. In this way, owners of independent hotels can reach a global audience of travelers interested in coming to Florida who otherwise might not consider our properties had it not been for the visibility we experience because of online partners like Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline and Travelocity. Recent proposals to collect a new tax on the services provided by on online travel companies as room rent levied under transient occupancy tax laws threatens to cause disproportionate harm on the small business owners who operate independent hotels. Tourism is already one of the most taxed industries. This tax policy favored by cash strapped municipalities would make Florida more expensive to visit and create a disincentive for online tra vel providers to do business in many smaller Florida communities. But you can help clarify the law once and for all and stop new taxes on tourism by supporting Senate Bill 376 and ensure a major demand channel for tourism remains an important, vibrant par t of the Florida tourism ecosystem.

A typical SRO room usually consists of a bed, dresser, and sink and is intended for occupancy by one person. Some slightly larger SRO units can accommodate couples. The smaller size and limited amenities in SROs generally makes them a more affordable housing option, especially in urban areas with high land values. Some SRO hotels serve as supportive housing and offer on-site personal counseling and rehabilitation services- but not all do. SROs can also have different classifications of rooms including “residential rooms” and “tourist rooms.” Thus, SRO hotels typically house a diverse population of dwellers, long and short term, including: men, women, (sometimes pets), children, teenagers, seniors, and sometimes tourists. Occupants are diverse in almost every regard including: age, race, ethnicity, interests, expectations, levels of personal accountability, income and overall well-being.
