    Environmental sustainability in hotel business: applying Finnish experience to Russian hotel business Anastasia Kostyukova Bachelor’s thesis March 2015 Degree Programme in Facility Management School of Business and Service Management 1 Description Author(s) Type of publication Date Kostyukova, Anastasia Bachelor’s 13.03.2015 Language of publication: English Number of pages Permission for web 47 publication: x Title of publication Environmental sustainability in hotel business: applying Finnish experience to Russian hotel business Degree programme Degree Programme in Facility Management Tutor(s) Blinnikka, Petra Assigned by Onego Palace hotel Abstract The aim of the Thesis was to study various aspects of sustainability in the hotel business and, based on the experience of one of the case studies, Scandic Jyväskylä, to create a list of development recommendations for another hotel – Onego Palace Hotel. The theoretical basis consists of information about sustainable building, ecological technologies, ecological design and a description of some existing eco-labels and their influence on the organization. Additionally, it was necessary to define the methodology utilized in the Thesis. Thus, the research methods were thoroughly described including the information about data varieties and case studies, with the benchmarking method as the main way of hotel comparison, which was accurately reported. The main research question was “How might the Finnish experience of eco- sustainability be applied from the perspective of the Russian hotel business?”. All the theory supported the question and, thereafter, contributed to the creation of a list of developmental recommendations for Onego Palace hotel based on the experience of the Scandic Jyväskylä hotel. The theme of the Thesis was chosen according to the author’s interests and the current influence of ecological aspects on human life.

Disney AALBORG UNIVERSITY Abstract Department of Development and Planning Master Thesis by Silvia Munaf´o Supervisor: Arne Remmen The thesis introduces and analyzes the practicality of an expanded approach for sus- tainable development connected to tourism. The expanded approach is framed by a redesigned model. This model is based on (i) existing models that have been tested and used in practice, and (ii) the structure and elements of analyzed ecolabel schemes and standards. The model aims to cover enterprise, value chain and destination scale to find and possibly connect common strategic directions of different actors.

    THE De Nederlandse motelbouw in de AMERICAN periode 1950-1980 DREAMMotelbouw in Nederland in de periode 1950-1980 | 1 The American Dream De Nederlandse motelbouw in de periode 1950-1980 Universiteit Utrecht Master Architectuurgeschiedenis en Monumentenzorg A.L.M. Zeeuw van der Laan Studentnummer: 3341879 Thesisbegeleider: Dr. D.R.E. van de Vijver Tweede lezer: Prof. dr. K.A. Ottenheym Maart 2014 2 Voorwoord Deze scriptie is in opdracht van de masteropleiding Kunstgeschiedenis – Architectuurgeschiedenis en Monumentenzorg geschreven en betoogt de bouw van motels in Nederland. Deze motels werden vanaf het eind van de jaren vijftig gebouwd en waren zowel onderdeel van de ‘American Dream’, als van de ontwikkeling van de autosnelwegen en de nieuwe vrijetijd. Hoewel er in Amerika hernieuwde belangstelling bestaat voor de typologie van motels, is dit in eigen land nog niet beschreven. Dit resulteerde in een vraagstuk dat zowel vanuit architectonisch, cultureel en historisch perspectief benaderd moest worden, als wel vanuit een beeldcultuur en bedrijfstechnische oogpunten. Dit werd bereikt door het gebruik van veel nationale en internationale literatuur, eigentijdse vakbladen en vele beeldbanken. Daarnaast hebben de heren J.L.M. Zeeuw van der Laan (1922) en J.A.M. Zeeuw van der Laan (1948) als direct betrokkenen van de motelbouw een belangrijke bijdrage geleverd aan dit betoog. Graag wil ik hen hartelijk bedanken voor de vele verhalen en het geduld om de vraagstukken helder te krijgen. Bussum maart 2014. 3 VOORWOORD 3 INLEIDING 5 1.
