Fast forward to today where the hotel industry is highly competitive and the inventory of hotels and resorts is as large as the many types of customers that they attempt to serve. In the counterpart of this critique, we have an article by Diana Foris, Cristina Nicolau and Tiberiu Foris about the future trends in the tourism in relationship to education and youth. What do young people want, where do they want to spend their money, and how does this younger crowd dictate the way hotels and resort have to accommodate and adapt to the new century big spenders (Foris, Nicolau, Foris).

Tourism is strongly driven by seasonality because the demand will significantly increase or decrease at different times of the year (Kennedy, 1999 as cited in Lundberg, Gudmundson, & Anderson, 2008). Therefore, it gives hospitality and tourism a major characteristic of the casual and part-time employment (Jolliffe & Farnsworth, 2003). The number of casual employees in Australia has been increasing at a fast pace and is concentrated in the hospitality industry (Cussen, Webber, & Weller, 1999; Lowry, 2001). Casual employees make up 80 per cent of the workforce of the hospitality industry, which is one of Australia’s largest employing industry (Australian Hotels Association, 2015). The Australian Hotels Association (2015), state 39.9 per cent casual employees are aged less than 25 years and students account for a high proportion of this age group (Australian Hotels Association, 2015). Therefore, as the number of casual employees is high, this research will create a comparison between the business processes currently in place and the recommendation of the literature related to motivational factors.

Hotel and lodging sector is one of the oldest parts that make up the hospitality industry. The origins of the industry can be traced to the earliest of times known to mankind. “The history of hotels is intimately connected to that of civilizations; facilities offering guests hospitality have been in evidence since early biblical times” (Levy-Bonvin, 2003, para.1). While the most ancient hotels did not have all the modern amenities that consumers have become accustomed to receiving when frequenting the various hotel brands and companies, the ancient hotels helped create the industry that is still growing and evolving today.

Tourism is one of the largest industries in the world, but can easily be affected by several issues ranging from economic and political issues to safety and security concerns. Health issues are closely related to safety concerns, which can have a major negative impact on tourism. A current health issue that is affecting the tourism industry in the US, Caribbean, and Latin American countries is the Zika virus. The Zika virus is spread by the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquitos. It can be spread from a pregnant woman to her unborn fetus, which can result in microcephaly, along with other birth defects. Zika can also be contracted by having sex with an infected partner or by a blood transfusion. Currently, there is no treatment or vaccine to prevent being infected with the virus. According to the CDC, the best prevention method is to do everything possible to prevent mosquito bites.

Responsible tourism/travel is about making better places for people to live in and better places for people to visit. It also means that you travel lightly, with a small carbon footprint, respecting people and places, while making a positive contribution where possible.

There’s also a growing interest in ‘sustainable tourism’, whereby tourism businesses that aren’t essentially nature-based. Including hotels and airlines, are finding ways to operate more sustainably.

In the pacific, the tourism industry has been growing rapidly in size and in investment lately and shows no sign of slowing down. However, the newer tactics and ways to generate profit for the tourism industry today have impacted the land, environment, and culture of the area being exposed to tourism (Taylor & Francis, 325-327). One of the more debatable areas happens to be in the Pacific, where a lot of small islands and enticing places to visit lie. According to the United Nations Environment Programme, or UNEP, tourism helps the preservation of the environment through the contribution of direct finances and government revenues earned by the tourism industry ("Tourism and Environmental Conservation"). The “preservation of sites, monuments, and traditional architecture” can be achieved through employing the money earned from tourism for the preservations of these local areas ("Positive Socio-cultural Impacts”). Infrastructure that is originally targeted towards tourists is beneficial to the locals since the creation of infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, and so on, evidently also benefit the locals who live in the area ("Positive and Negative Impacts of Tourism"). The money given by tourists can be employed to preserve and protect the natural environment and topography in the Pacific ("Positive and Negative Impacts of Tourism"). While the more tourists that visit the area is ideal for the tourism industry, it is not ideal for the locals since more tourists equates to
