The PB Support Team functions under the auspices of the NFPA Standards Council, and reports directly to the Council on an on-going basis. The PB Support Team was created in 1995 to assist NFPA Technical Committees with the transition to performance-based documents. Primer 1 is the first in a series intended to provide NFPA Technical Committees with guidance and information on how to write a performance-based NFPA code, standard, or similar document. This primer is based on the report of the NFPA In-House Task Group on Performance-Based Codes and Computer Fire Models’ report entitled NFPA’s Future in Performance-Based Codes and Standards. This report, released in July 1995 and developed in conjunction with the NFPA Board of Directors, implies the need for the development of further guiding information for NFPA Technical Committees. Primer 1 is the first step to fill this need for further guiding information. It is anticipated that this primer will undergo future changes as they are developed. Any comments on the primer should be sent to: NFPA Attn: Council Secretary 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 02269-9101 NFPA PB Primer 1 ii Revision 1.1 NFPA Technical Committee PB Primer #1 PERFORMANCE-BASED GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND CRITERIA Revision 1.1 19 SEPTEMBER 1997 Table of Contents Preface.............................................................................................................................................ii Chapter 1 General Information......................................................................................................1 1-1 Primer Scope .....................................................................................................................

  • Sex Trafficking in the Hospitality Industry
    WHITE PAPER May 2019 Human Trafficking in the Hospitality Industry: What Industry Participants Should Do to Protect Themselves and Their Customers In 2016 alone, 4.8 million people were victims of forced sexual exploitation worldwide.1 Nearly 200,000 were trafficked in the Americas, and more than one million were children.2 Moreover, data from the National Human Trafficking Hotline shows that at least 7.7 percent of human trafficking cases reported in 2016 were based in hotels or motels, the most common “location” for the abuse to occur.3 Indeed, hotels and motels are common sites of human trafficking—they not only offer an affordable and easily accessible location for commercial sex acts, but they also provide privacy and anonymity for both traffickers and trafficked individuals. There is no doubt that members of the hospitality industry do not want their legitimate services abused by traf- fickers, nor the safety of their guests jeopardized in this manner. As federal and state authorities, the plaintiffs’ bar, and public sentiment increasingly place pressure on corporations to join global anti-trafficking efforts, the hospitality industry can take proactive compliance-related measures to ensure trafficking does not hap- pen at their hotels. This Jones Day White Paper touches on key aspects of the fast developing law addressing the scourge of human trafficking. More specifically, it sets forth: (i) the laws governing the hospitality industry’s obligations to detect or eradicate sex trafficking at their establishments; (ii) examples of lawsuits filed against members of the hospitality industry; and (iii) suggestions for members of the hospitality industry to best protect their cus- tomers and position themselves in this climate of heightened obligations.

WILLITS RECREATION AND PARKS 276 RECREATION BUILDING THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA 16802 ABSTRACT Sources of strain associated with the role of hired "host" in the hospitality industry are explored by focusing on the host-guest, host-host, and host-management relationships. Means for reducing role strain and enhancing the effectiveness of hospitality workers are suggested. THE HOSPITALITY HOST ROLE IN THE TRAVEL/TOURISM INDUSTRY INTRODUCTION Travel, tourism, and vacationing have become increasingly important aspects of people's lives. As more time becomes available (through the benefits of paid holidays, shorter work weeks, early retirement, etc.) and individuals have more discretionary income (a result of smaller families, economic growth, etc.), pleasure vacations have come to be viewed by many as not only "desirable," but also as "deserved." It has been estimated that nearly two-thirds of the population engage in travel in any one year.

  • Reimagining the Future of Hospitality How the Hospitality Industry Is Preparing for Post-Pandemic Growth
    HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY GUIDE Reimagining the Future of Hospitality How the Hospitality Industry Is Preparing for Post-Pandemic Growth Risk & Insurance | Employee Benefits | Retirement & Private Wealth Reimagining the Future of Hospitality The North American hospitality industry, one of the hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, is inching its way to normalcy. However, the new normal for hotels and restaurants in 2021 and beyond won’t look like it did in 2019. The pandemic hit hotels, restaurants and bars across the U.S. and Canada. Approximately 28,084 hotels closed for some portion of the pandemic,1 and in the U.S., more than 110,000 restaurants and bars shut their doors for good in 2020.2 On the positive side, there’s huge pent-up demand for travel and dining across North America. Businesses leaders want face-to-face business meetings again. Tourism is returning. Customers eagerly await restaurants to open in full. However, a spotty recovery threatens a full reopening in hospitality. Some regions have not gotten the pandemic under control and others simply remain economically depressed, including major markets suffering from the continued slowdown in travel. Canadian hotels continue struggling with the collapse of international demand, especially with a mandated 14-day quarantine for people who do enter the country. And the easing of restrictions comes too late for thousands of restaurants that have closed permanently. The costs of covering risk in this environment A full recovery or not, hospitality owners and operators face a bigger issue that may derail the recovery in its tracks: getting proper insurance coverage.

  • Intercultural Challenges Facing the Hospitality Industry. Implications for Education and Hospitality Management
    101 Journal of Intercultural Management Vol. 7, No. 3, September 2015, pp. 101–117 DOI 10.1515/joim-2015-0023 Aleksandra Grobelna23 Gdynia Maritime University Intercultural Challenges Facing the Hospitality Industry. Implications for Education and Hospitality Management Abstract: Hospitality organizations which are increasingly operating internationally create real challenges for their employees and managers to interact and effectively work with people from different cultural environments. Many problems may relate to intercultural communication between managers and employees as well as between employees and hotel guests from different cultural backgrounds. Therefore, the issue of intercultural communication has recently had an increasing reach in the hospitality industry. Cultural awareness, sensitivity and understanding of cultural differences should be perceived as a critical issue for business success. Therefore, the following questions still need answers from both academics and the business: What kind of challenges does the hospitality industry face in view of the multicultural diversity of its markets? What kind of managers’ skills and abilities, particularly in the case of entry-level managers, are strongly needed today to manage effectively multicultural hospitality workforce? And how may educational programs influence intercultural competence development of tourism and hospitality students to interact effectively in a multicultural environment. The aim of the study is to show that cultural diversity of hotel employees and guests may create unique challenges of cross-cultural service encounters, which may provide an opportunity for service differentiation. The research problem is to find answers to the questions: how may the challenges that emerge from cross-cultural interactions become a source of hotel competitiveness and how may the educational process contribute to the intercultural competence development, to recruit employees who will be able to operate successfully in a multicultural hospitality environment.
