  • Fundamentals of Hotel Management 77
    Fundamentals of Hotel Management 77 2 FUNDAMENTALS OF HOTEL MANAGEMENT Among the important inputs which flow into the tourist system is tourist accommodation. Accommodation facilities constitute a vital and fundamental part of tourist supply and an important feature of the total tourist image of a country. Many countries have recognised the vital importance of accommodation industry in relation to tourism and their governments have coordinated their activities with the industry by way of providing attractive incentives and concessions to suppliers of tourist accommodation, which have resulted in the building up of various types of accommodation. For instance, availability of sites for tourist accommodation on liberal payment terms, special concessions in the form of long-term loans, liberal import licences and tax relief, cash grants for construction and renovation of buildings, and other similar concessions are provided to the accommodation industry. The United Nations Conference on International Travel and Tourism held in Rome in 1963 considered, in particular, problems 78 Principles of Hotel Management relating to means of accommodation. The Conference acknowledged the importance of means of accommodation, both traditional (hotels, motels) and supplementary (camps, youth hostels, etc..) as incentives to international tourism. The Conference recommended that governments should consider the possibility of including tourism projects, and particularly those relating to accommodation on the list of projects eligible for loans from their industrial or other corporations, and that, where required, they should establish special financial corporations for tourism. It also recommended that governments should give sympathetic consideration to the possibility of granting special facilities and incentives for accommodation projects. An adequate supply of accommodation suitably tailored to the requirements of the tourist market is one of the basic conditions of tourism development.

  • Designing Hostels: Spaces Promoting Positive Cultural Interaction
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: DESIGNING HOSTELS: SPACES PROMOTING POSITIVE CULTURAL INTERACTION Benjamin Bates, Master of Architecture, 2013 Directed By: Dr. Powell Draper, School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation The focus of this architectural thesis is to create a design process diagram that takes into account the cultural and spatial features affecting interactions and apply it to the design of a hostel. The thesis utilizes concepts from sociology, specifically, Georg Simmel’s theories regarding objective and subjective culture as well as his five “fundamental qualities of space for communal life,” and applies them to the field of architecture taking into account virtual space as a sixth fundamental quality of space. This process can shed light on how to design space within a hostel, enhancing positive cross-cultural interactions by focusing the user’s attention on objective cultural expression rather than a subjective cultural one. Site, program, structure, form and building skin parameters were developed using matrices, cross referencing design options against one another and the specific cultural and spatial features selected for analysis. i DESIGNING HOSTELS: SPACES PROMOTING POSITIVE CULTURAL INTERACTION By Benjamin Michael Bates Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture 2013 Advisory Committee: Professor Dr. Powell Draper, Chair Professor Garth Rockcastle Professor Madlen Simon ii © Copyright by Benjamin Michael Bates 2013 iii Disclaimer: The thesis or dissertation document that follows has had referenced material removed in respect for the owner's copyright.
