  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. The Initial Idea There are a lot of industries that contributes to the growth of a country, tourism and hospitality industry is one of them. As a developing and rapidly growth industry, the tourism and hospitality industry has become one of the major contributors of income for various countries. Looking at this, Indonesia is also one of the countries that are experiencing growth in the tourism and hospitality. This results in the many business opportunities and also creating job fields in selected sectors. The World and Travel Tourism Council (2015) says that in 2014 the tourism and hospitality industry generated 3,326,000 directly in Indonesia which is 2.9 percent of the total employment. It is estimated that nine percent of Indonesia‟s total national workforce is employed in the tourism sector (Indonesia Investment, 2016). This employment is not only in the hotel and also travel agent but also airlines and other passenger and transportation services. The World Tourism Organization (2014) stated that tourism is “a social, cultural, and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of people to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or business/professional purposes” while the understanding of tourism according to Cook, Yale and Marqua (2010: 5) is as follow: 1 Tourism is the temporary movement of people to destinations outside their normal place of work and residence, the activities undertaken during stay in those destination and the facilities created to cater to their needs. In the development of the tourism and hospitality industry causes the emergent of various businesses that operates under the same „umbrella‟.
