In hospitality industry, we take care of the guests by providing them with food and shelter. Preparation of Food is covered under the discipline of “Food Production” which is covered under the HTS101 course. Under HTS102 we study the service of the food and beverages produced by the industry. In this course we study the “shelter” part. In this unit we will start with an overview of the Accommodations industry. We will see that hospitality industry plays a very important role as a driving force of Indian Economy. The service sector contributes most to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Indian economy. Hospitality industry generates a lot of employment opportunity. The Foreign Direct Investment has also shown a remarkable trend in this sector. Next we will study the classification of hotels based on criteria like: Location( City-center/downtown hotel, Suburban hotels, Motels, Airport hotels, Resort hotels, Forest hotels, Floatels, Boatels, Rotels,) Target market (Commercial hotels, Convention hotels, Resort hotels, Suite hotels,) B&B hotels (Extended-stay, Casino hotels, Timeshares, Condominiums, Service apartments/corporate lodgings), Size of the property, ( Small hotels, Medium sized hotels, Large hotels, Very large hotels, Mega hotels, Chain hotels), Level of service ( Economy/budget hotels, Mid-scale/mid-market hotels, Luxury hotels), Length of stay ( Transient hotels, Residential hotels, Semi-residential hotels), Theme ( Heritage hotels, Ecotels, Boutique hotels, Spas). (43 ££ §°© § &≤ /¶¶©£• & §°© ) 0°• We will see these hotel types in details. We will also see how the hotels are rated as one-star to five star deluxe categories. The requirements for such qualifications as stipulated by the Ministriy of Tourism will also be discussed. You may have heard that hotels like Burj al Arab, Dubai have been categorized as seven star hotels. We will see that such categorizations do not have very sound legal basis. Some hotels have been established at least 50 years back and have been built to show the classical Indian styles of architectures and have played important roles in the historic events of India. Such hotels have been recognized by the Ministry of Tourism in India as Heritage Hotels (there are such sub categories as Heritage, Heritage Classic and Heritage Grand hotels). We will study what is required to be categorized by Minitry of Tourism for Hotels to be categorized as Heritage, Heritage Classic and Heritage Grand hotels. We will study some of the remarkable heritage hotels in India including: The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, (Apollo Bunder, Gateway of India, Mumbai), the Imperial Hotel, (Delhi), Lake Palace (Udaipur), and Oberoi Grand (Kolkata). We will study the Organization structure of a typical hotels. We will then study the origin and growth of hotels in India.
