The aim of this SMARTreport is not only to demystify some of the latest digital technologies and their applications in the hotel field, but also to encourage the intelligent use of these technologies in such a way that they save money and/or increase profits for the hotel, while vastly improving the guest experience. We have timed the launch of this edition to coincide with the European meeting of HTNG (Hotel Technology Next Generation) in Lausanne; a conference which truly marks the forward march of the industry world-wide and underlines a new form of understanding between hoteliers and service providers. What is extraordinary today is the extreme effort put in by some hotel groups, such as the Mandarin Oriental Group and the Peninsula Group, in beating a path through the jungle as true pioneers in the field of technology convergence. This is underlined in interviews with Nick Price of the Mandarin oriental Group and Fraser Hickox of the Peninsula Group, both of whom are true visionaries and leaders among their peers. The time given by people such as these (as well as all those who have participated in this edition) towards helping their peers and advancing the industry in general through the movement created by the HTNG is proof of their selflessness and dedication to improving guest services across the board. To this extent, Nick Price has even agreed to give his “personal touch” to each of our sections in this SMARTreport... an input which is greatly appreciated due to his astute and broad vision of industry issues. This SMARTreport is, I believe, more than ever in the spirit of Cleverdis, our mother organisation, in terms of giving a clear and unbiased view of the industry at large. The broad contribution and support shown by leading companies from all walks of technology gives it an unequalled richness and uniqueness, making it a true reference work. Again thanks to all of you who have EDITORIAL contributed to making this edition a real “keeper”! SMR_H_EU_07-ch1.qxd 1/10/07 15:29 Page 3 INTRODUCTION Interview with... Douglas Rice HTNG Executive Director (Hotel Technology Next Generation) Douglas C. Rice has been working as Executive Director of Hotel Technology Next Generation (HTNG) since September 2004.

This foodservice giant with more than 30,000 restaurants in 100 countries provides food to nearly 50 million customers each day, but decades of expansion, sales growth, and profi ts made the burger giant complacent. By focusing on getting bigger, not better, the company stumbled in 2002, recording its fi rst losing quarter. By 2003, U.S. sales had fl attened, as many consumers were turning to healthier options and restaurants with more upscale menu items, a segment sometimes referred to as “ fast - casual ” . Morgan Spurlock’ s fi lm Super Size Me , released in 2004, also seriously diminished the public image of the quick - service chain, as moviegoers watched Spurlock become ill and gain 25 pounds after eating only McDonald’ s food for one month. With pressure to get back on track, it was time for McDonald ’ s to rethink the business.

Đorđević1 SCIENTIFIC REVIEW ARTICLE University of Niš, Faculty of Economics doi:10.5937/ekonomika1503099D Marko Janković2 Received: August 2, 2015 International business school Botevgrad, Bulgaria Accepted: September 3, 2015 MODERN DISTRIBUTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF HOTEL INDUSTRY IN THE WORLD Abstract Global changes in the economy and society, which started in the last decades of the XX century, affected the changes in the hotel industry. These hotel industry changes are in a certain way more distinct than changes in other industries. As the main tourist activity, hotel industry displays all current changes in the tourism industry in the best way. The permanent growth of global tourism directly affects the fast development and dispersion of the hotel industry. The increased demand for hotel services and global economic development influenced changes in the hotel industry and creation of hotel chains on the global level. These hotel chains occupy a large percentage of the world hotel capacities and possess great financial power. One of their fundamental values is reflected in the fact that the inclusion of small hotels into their systems includes a whole range of supporting companies, thus improving the economy at the local level. Key words: Hotel industry, globalization, tourism, development, hotel chains JEL classification: L8 САВРЕМЕНИ РАЗМЕШТАЈ И РАЗВОЈ ХОТЕЛСКЕ ИНДУСТРИЈЕ У СВЕТУ Апстракт Глобалне промене у привреди и друштву, започете последњих деценија XX века, утицале су и на измене пословања у хотелијерству.
