TOURISMSUPPLY IN THE CARIBBEANREGION A Study for the World Bank by the ShanklandCox Partnership November1974 TOURISMSUPPLY STUDY- CARIBBEANREGION INTRODUCTI0N This study of the supply of tourism facilities in the Caribbean was commissioned by the World Bank (International Bank for Reconstruction and Development) in early 1973. The Shankland Cox Partnership was appointed to carry out the survey, withli 141iss Jill Rawson as the project leader. The field work for the report was carried out during May, June and part of July 1973. The islands visited were Bermuda, The Bahamas, Turks and Caicos Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Eritish Virgin Islands, St. Kitts-Nevis,Antigua, Dominica, St. Lucia, Barbados, Crenada, St. Vincent, and the Cayman Islands. Approximatelyfour days were spent in each island during which time answers to a basic questionnaire were obtained; informationwas collected from the government, private agencies and indi- viduals. Data for Jamaica, the DbminicanRepublic, Trinidad and Tobago, Martinique,Guadeloupe, the NetherlandsAntilles and Haiti were obtained tbrough the office of the ShanklandCox Partnershipin these islands and/ or from material available to the World Bank. The islands listed above constitute 'the CaribbeanRegion' as defined for purposes of this study. The data were consideredto be sufficientlycomprehensive for the World Bank to request that the Consultantsformulate some overall con- clusions about the past, present and future developmentof the tourism sector in the Caribbean. The first part of the study contains these comments and onclusions on the sector as a whole; the second part contains the statistical data, island by island, under each research topic. While every effort has been made to ensure comparabilityand con- sistency,weaknesses inherent in the data often thwarted these attempts. Also, only rarely has it been possible to add more recent data to that collectedby the Consultantsin 1973, so that some of the information may be out of date. The World Bank considersthe study useful primarily as a working document for regional organisations,governments, development agencies and tourist associationsin the Caribbean. Therefore,within the context of budget and time constraints,a more polished presentation has been sacrificed in the interests of speedier publication. While the World Bank-commissionedthe study and assisted in its organization, responsibility for the views and data contained in the report is that of the Shankland Cox Partnership alone. signed: Charles Bosel Shankland Oox November 1974 TOURI3K SUPPLY STUDY- CARIBEAN REGION Table of Contents Page No, SUM AND CONCLUSIONS 1 PART Is THE REGIONALPERSPECTIVE 5 Chapter 1.

Annual average growth rates between 1968 and 1972 are estimated at 10.5% for the region. The fastest growth occurred in cottages and apart- ments, which expanded by an average of 21% per annum. Hotel rooms increased by 8% and guest house rooms by 3.5% per annum over the period. The two out- standing trends in the developmentof Caribbeantourist accommodation since 1968 have been growth in the amount of self-catering accommodation mid the increase in the average size of hotels. A classification indicative of facili- ties, quality of service, style and size of hotel is needed for the visitor, as weIl as for the internal organizationof the hotel industry in the Carib- bean. Hotel ownershipin the Caribbeanis typically local for small hotels and guest houses, and foreign for large hotels. Visitors and Visitor Characteristics The entry and departurecards (I/D cards) issued to all visitors to foreign territoriesare a rost useful source of informationabout tourists. The standard card used by most Caribbeanislands should be modified so that it can be processeAdeasily to provide the maximum amount of relevant inform- ation. A recommendedformat for such cards is included in this report. An estimated 345 million stopover visitors travelled to the Caribbean in 1972, oompared with an estimated 3.2 million in 1968. Approximately50% of vis- itors to the region in 1972 went to The Bahamas and Puerto Rico. The number of stopover visitors has increased at an estimated annual average rate of 8.%% since 1968. Thereforetourist accommodation,which increased at a rate of 10.5% a year in the same period, has been expandingmore rapidly than tourist arrivals. (Unfortunately, growth rates in bednights cannot be calculated from the available data.) Annual grow,th rates were 15.8% in 1969, 1.6% in 1970, 8.3% in 1971 and 9.9% in 1972. By 1972 then the region had re- covered from the 1969-70 depression, attributed to sloer economic growth in the U.S.A. and competitionfrom other tourist regions, but has not yet re- captured the high growth rates experiencedin the 1960s. The bigh season lasts from mid-Decemberto mid-April. Since 1968, an increase in visitor arrivals in July and August has helped reduce the seasonal imbalance in many islands. The monthly distributionof visitors is uneven but the slackest months almost everywhereare Septemberto November. -2- Roughl-y 85% of visitors to the Caribbean are touricts. The region caters mainly to the wealthy, but is attracting an increasingly large pro- portion of middle-income tourists, particularly on group inclusive tours from North America. Accommodation and transport facilities are being planned, particularly in the Eastern Caribbean, for package tourists from BErope.

    A Survey on Web Modeling Approaches for Ubiquitous Web Applications Andrea Schauerhuber1,∗, Wieland Schwinger2, Werner Retschitzegger3, Manuel Wimmer4, and Gerti Kappel4 1Women’s Postgraduate College for Internet Technologies, Vienna University of Technology [email protected] 2Department of Telecooperation, Johannes Kepler University Linz [email protected] 3Institute of Bioinformatics, Johannes Kepler University Linz [email protected] 4Business Informatics Group, Vienna University of Technology {wimmer|gerti}@big.tuwien.ac.at 1. INTRODUCTION Today’s web applications are full-fledged, complex software systems for which a methodologically sound engineering approach is crucial. Web engineering has emerged as an independent branch of software engineering and ”comprises the use of systematic and quantifiable approaches in order to accomplish the specification, implementation, operation, and maintenance of high quality web applications” [Kappel et al. 2006]. During the past 10 years, academia has provided various web modelling approaches, each aiming at counteracting a technology-driven and ad hoc development of web applications. These web modeling approaches originally have emerged as proprietary languages rather focused on notational aspects. As the types of web applications have evolved over time so have the web modeling approaches come up with appropriate concepts for them. Thus, increasingly more web modeling approaches are supporting the development of so called Ubiquitous Web Applications (UWAs), i.e., Web applications that adhere to the anytime/anywhere/anymedia paradigm, taking into account that services in the web are nowadays not exclusively accessed through traditional desktop PCs but through mobile devices with different capabilities and constraints, by users with various interests and goals at anytime from anyplace around the globe.

  • Is Tourism Haiti's Magic Bullet?
    STRATEGIC NOTE 9 | JUNE 2013 Is Tourism Haiti’s Magic Bullet? www.igarape.org.br An Empirical Treatment of Haiti’s Tourism Potential Athena R. Kolbe, Keely Brookes and Robert Muggah A french tourist negotiates the price of raspberries outside of the Baptist Mission Bakery, a popular destination for religious service groups visiting Haiti. The Haitian government has elevated tourism to the top of its development agenda. Yet prospects for success are uncertain. This assessment is the first empirical treatment of the attitudes and perceptions of tourists and service providers in Haiti. It is based on a survey of more than 2,000 tourists and 390 industry professionals. It finds that just over 3% of tourists reported crime victimizaiton and that the current tourism model should be revisited. IGARAPÉ INSTITUTE | STRATEGIC NOTE 9 | JUNE 2013 Introduction Tourism is often described as key to Haiti’s salvation. The economic potential of foreigners visiting the island nation is cited in virtually all major assessments of the country’s current development problems. This may seem at first counter- intuitive: the impoverished and disaster-stricken country has long-struggled with violence and political instability. But it is increasingly regarded as necessary. Immediately after the January 2010 earthquake it was recognized that strategic investments would be needed to secure Haiti’s economy once foreign aid had diminished.1 Tourism was recently elevated to a top priority by Haiti´s current administration and the Ministry of Tourism. The government hopes that an influx of foreign currency generated by tourist dollars could help lift the country out of aid-dependency.2 This is not as surprising as it may seem.

  • Hotel Berlin
    HOTEL BERLIN: THE POLITICS OF COMMERCIAL HOSPITALITY IN THE GERMAN METROPOLIS, 1875–1945 by Adam Bisno A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2017 © 2017 Adam Bisno ii Dissertation Advisor: Peter Jelavich Adam Bisno Hotel Berlin: The Politics of Commercial Hospitality in the German Metropolis, 1875–1945 Abstract This dissertation examines the institution of the grand hotel in Imperial, Weimar, and Nazi Berlin. It is a German cultural and business history of the fate of classical liberalism, which in practice treated human beings as rational, self-regulating subjects. The major shareholders in the corporations that owned the grand hotels, hotel managers, and hotel experts, through their daily efforts to keep the industry afloat amid the vicissitudes of modern German history, provide a vantage point from which to see the pathways from quotidian difficulties to political decisions, shedding light on how and why a multi-generational group of German businessmen embraced and then rejected liberal politics and culture in Germany. Treating the grand hotel as an institution and a space for the cultivation of liberal practices, the dissertation contributes to the recent body of work on liberal governance in the modern city by seeing the grand hotel as a field in which a dynamic, socially and culturally heterogeneous population tried and ultimately failed to determine the powers and parameters of liberal subjectivity. In locating the points at which liberal policies became impracticable, this dissertation also enters a conversation about the timing and causes of the crisis of German democracy.
