This edition of the Review marks an end and a beginning. After more than 12 years at the helm, Professor William O'Brien has returned to the classroom and research full time. While we are sony to see Bill step aside, his place has been taken by a very capable colleague - Professor Marcel Escoffier. Many of our col- leagues in the academy know Marty. He is an active member of the academy, and a thoughtful individual who will bring great insight into future editions of the Review. We look forward to his leadership as we continue to strive to ensure that our efforts are per- tinent to the changing needs of hospitality and tourism research. At the July annual meeting of the CHRIE Education Research Academy, we were engaged in a discussion concerning the publication of original research and research concepts as opposed to empirical studies. As a result of these discussions, we agreed to provide a forum for high quality conceptual papers. It is anticipated that shortly we will announce a guest team of editors who will manage the process and pro- vide us with the refereed articles for publication in a special edition. As you can see from the Table of Contents, we have an excellent col- ledion of articles which has something of interest regardless of your aca- demic bent. Joseph J.

A Beginning and a Continuation As we assume the duties and responsibilities as editor of the FIU Hospitality Review, we wish to take this opportunity ta affirm our School of Hospitality and Tourism Management's commitment to excellence. This journal represents a continuation of the ideas and ideals of Dr. Norman Ringstrom, a founding member of our faculty and the FIU Hospitality Review's first editor. His goal, and the goal of both his suc- cessor, Professor William O'Brien, and ourselves is to provide the hospi- tality community with a forum wherein academics, those in industry, and governmental policy makers may participate in defining and improving the world-wide tourism and hospitality industries. We wish to continue this noble goal. To that end we solicit and pub- lish articles that cover the gamut from empirical research and proposals of new theories concerning hospitality to articles concerning our indus- try's leaders: How they became successful and where they believe the industry is headed. This mix of academic and applied knowledge is what distinguishes those journals published by the nation's top hospi- tality programs from the trade press. It has been our experience that those in academe often believe that applied articles lack importance. As a practicing hotel manager, we can assure the academics that relevance is in the eyes of the beholder. Publishing articles that appeal to acade- mics and practitioners assures us of an open forum wherein both groups may learn from each other. As we assume the editorship, we ask that those who may be inclined to read only one or another type of article pause for a moment and consider what they are missing. Our industry continues practices that were first introduced a century or more ago. While not everything that is old is necessarily in need of revision (Caesar Ritz introduced the idea of a bathroom for every guest room, an idea that still hears merit), certainly articles questioning many of these traditions have relevance. Similarly, we believe that the application of current research trends reported in the general business literature, when applied to our indus- try, merits publication. Finally, we wish to encourage the use of the FN Hospitality Review as a fonun for students and others just entering our field to submit articles that may look at some aspect of hospitality from fresh points of view. Often we managers and educators are tm close to industry issues and fail to see the forest for the trees. k., we begin our tenure as editor, we wish to further the ideals of Dr. Ringstrom and make this journal an important bridge between acad- eme and industry. We encourage you, our readers, to contribute articles of importance for review, and we ask that you encourage your colleagues to do the same. In the next few weeks we will be sending out copies of this journal along with letters encouraging article submission. Should you receive such a mailing, consider yourself flattered. But once you come back down to earth, we ask that you forward your duplicate copy to a colleague whom you feel may become a future contributor to our journal.
