The Ice Hotel And The Travelodge

Tourism is one of the most international industries. Globalisation is the gradual forging of links between groups and societies until they finally reach around the globe in several directions (Smith, D,2006). Globalization is one of the serious challenges facing managers today. It is critical to develop services that are able to satisfy a highly diverse customer base (Ueltschy et al., 2007) Now to keep up with the rising levels of globalization in the hotel industry, there’s a need to understand not only the positive, but also the negative impacts of globalisation.

The Brunswick Hotel has stood at its current location since the 1920s; some jokers say the piano player has been there almost as long. In exchange for room and board plus tips, she plays three shows a day. Her Barrel house is slow from her arthritis, and her voice--roughened by decades of whiskey and tobacco--cracks on the high notes. Sometimes she dreams about her twin, the other playing fast melodies in the upper register while she pounds out a boogie-woogie bass line, four feet tapping time better than a metronome.

"The Blue Hotel" by Stephen Crane is classic short piece written in 1899. A time when Naturalism became a concept of much influence. Naturalism, an outgrowth of Realism, is a movement in literature that seeks to capture a believable everyday reality. This often portrays the darker side of human nature and the harshness of life; including poverty, racism, prejudice, disease, prostitution, filth, etc. Although “The Blue Hotel” is extremely well done, it was slow to start and has a weak ending.

The following literature is suggesting that how a tourist destination can be analyzed with the help of Butler's Tourism Life Cycle Model. Butler (1980) introduced the concept of the model which clarifies and extends earlier work by, for example, Cristaller (1963), Noronha (1976) and Stansfield (1978).
