  • Promoting the Spa Tourism Industry: Focus on Coastal Resorts in Kenya
    Athens Journal of Tourism - Volume 1, Issue 1 – Pages 53-64 Promoting the Spa Tourism Industry: Focus on Coastal Resorts in Kenya By Roselyne N. Okech The connection between health and tourism is not a new phenomenon since people began to travel to spa towns in the 1800s and has grown substantially worldwide. Health retreats and spas are a rapidly growing sector of the tourism industry where there has been new interest in "new age" remedies and traditional remedial therapies. There is a distinct lack of published research on spa tourism issues in Kenya. Hence, the focus of such research could help identify the potential of spa tourism among domestic and international travellers, who visit Kenya and in particular Mombasa as a tourism destination. This paper aims to provide a profile of the spa resort sector in Kenya based on an in-depth analysis of promotional materials produced by each of the resorts within the population and discussions with managers of the spa resorts. The research aimed at providing a starting point for understanding the Kenyan spa resort market by establishing a preliminary profile and categorisation of the sector, particularly from a supply perspective. This research also seeks to provide some guidance for managing the prospective growth of the spa resort market and guide the marketing endeavours of existing spa resorts. Qualitative research was used to undertake an analysis of promotional materials produced by Kenyan spa resorts as well as in-depth interviews with the spa managers and direct observation. This was with the aim to establish reliable industry benchmarks for key infrastructure and generate greater awareness of the spa industry in Kenya to promote growth in visitation numbers.

The main objective of the project was to know proportion of electricity in End-Use Category. Each hotel has total usable areas of 34,878.50, 24,706.56, 17,533.40 and 10,910.56 m2 with total air-conditioned areas of 17,364.45, 8,327.48, 5368.35 and 8,212.56 m2 respectively. The results shown that the hotel with most areas in usable, air-conditioned space and using central air conditioning system has the minimum index value of electrical consumption in air conditioning system to air-conditioned area equal to 72.36 kWh/m2/year. Unlike other three hotels with using split type air conditioning system that have this value equal to 89.92, 103.67 and 136.21 kWh/m2/year. Every hotel has the lowest proportion of electricity in lighting system compared with electrical consumption of air conditioning system and electric- mechanical system, which accounted for 5 – 10% of total electricity utilization and the maximum value of lighting density power is lower than 12 W/m2, which is considered the standard of Thailand Energy Conservation Promotion Act.

  • 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.
