The Management Of The Hospitality Field

Operations management concerns with managing of resources that directly produce the organization’s service or product. These resources are brought together by a series of processes so that they are utilized to deliver the primary service or product of the organization.

The hospitality industry is divided up into many areas. Some of these areas include; restaurants, lodging, sales, event planning, general operations, and tourism. Due to all these areas, a lot of jobs are needed to run the operation. With the hospitality field expanding overseas a bigger variety of employees are hired. No employee is the same. Every employee comes from a different religious, cultural, sexual orientation, and racial background.

I will be discussing the background of cultural competence, companies expanding overseas, traveling, company procedures for cultural competence, issues in the workplace

Walking into Human Resources that one day was probably the most nerve racking and anxiety-ridden experience of my life. Being that this was going to be my first job in the hospitality industry, at first I had no idea what to expect. It was my first interview for a hospitality operation. This was essentially the first day of the rest of my life. I had always known I wanted to do something involving travel and guest services oriented from the moment I stepped onto UCF campus, just three short years ago. It was Maurice Barrett, of the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel who had done my first interview. I knew he could tell how nervous I was, but as soon as he asked me a bit about myself and where I had previously worked, I relaxed a bit and the conversation and interview started flowing. I walked out of that interview feeling on top of the world, and knowing that this was where I was meant to be. Hospitality and Hotels was definitely what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. I wanted that job more than anything in the world, and knew I was going to be persistent enough to show them just how bad I wanted it. I called back every few days, just to ask questions and keep myself in their minds. A week later I got called for my interview with the Front Office Manager, and that interview, going in I felt completely relaxed. I knew I could do it and that I was going to do great; naturally, I did. I got offered the job that day, sitting in the chair across from the gentleman who was now my

The tremendous growth of social networking, media and content available on the internet generated by consumers lead to the development of so called Big Data Analytics. The main concept of big data is to collect data and extract value out of the data based on the patterns and trends. This study focused on exploring and demonstrating the challenges or issues that are faced by hospitality industry, mainly the hotel industry and how those challenges could be overcome by implementing big data analytics. To aim at a specific company, this study is aimed at the big Global hotel chain Hyatt. The main reason behind choosing the hotel industry is there are lots and lots of data that are not being used, so there is a great scope for the big data analytics. So, where is this data available and how to collect it? The challenge here is to collect this big data and make use of it to extract information using big data analytics. Data like length of stay, room prices, feedback about the customer satisfaction about why a customer chose particular hotel or the reasons for not choosing that hotel etc., could be collected from various internet sources like Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter (social networks). The data from various sources should be collected continuously to let the organization keep updated with the customer sentiments and make changes accordingly. This should be continuous process.

The hospitality industry relies heavily on tourist activities for its existence. However, as the world’s human population grows exponentially, the loss of pristine land is happening at an alarming rate. Consequently, Singita has a profound impact on various parts of Africa. Singita is a hospitality firm orchestrating an interdependent association between wildlife, communities, and tourism, which ensures high sustainability. The corporation is becoming a trendsetter on the continent as far as sustainability is concerned. Singita operates in South Africa, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe. It practices what it terms as “environmentally conscious hospitality”. Besides the above practices, the business pursues sustainable conservation and local communities’ empowerment. The business entity was incorporated in 1993 as a single lodge (Balfour and Balfour 33). The hospitality firm was built on the family-owned land and has grown to operate in three countries. Today, Singita manages at least half a million acres of immaculate land in Africa. The organization engages community development projects. It runs twelve camps and lodges in the subject countries (Fraser et al. 18).

In recent years, hospitality and tourism has become increasingly popular, being the largest and fastest growing industry in the world. Lodging is the relationship between the guest and the host and it is one of the most important operating sectors in hospitality and tourism industry. Study of lodging industry is essential to determine the functions in lodging to discern the heart of the hotel business. By conducting this experiential learning project in a hotel, our group was able to observe and identify the front office operation and manager’s daily tasks. The hotel we chose for this project is Toronto Marriott Downtown Eaton Centre Hotel, which is one of Toronto’s Premier hotels with four stars and diamonds according to Forbes Travel Guide and AAA. The reason that we chose Marriott Eaton is because it is one of the largest chain hotels in North America that is located at core downtown Toronto. James Chard, the Front Office Manager said “Marriott Eaton targets individual business travelers and family group travelers.” The reason of this is because Marriott Eaton is a city center hotel, being located on 525 Bay Street downtown core Toronto. Merit of this Marriott Eaton is the location as Ryerson University, University of Toronto, CN Tower, Toronto Eaton Center, and Art Gallery of Ontario are all in walking distance. Marriott hotel was established by J. Willard Marriott and the Marriott International Inc. is one of the leaders in the hospitality and lodging industry. They own

The hotel industry is an expanding business these days. More people like to travel nowadays as they used to in the past. We can see new hotels and motels or any other types of accommodation facilities are opening to attract more business around the world. Big hotel chains are building new hotels even in smaller cities which are favorite among tourists. Once the hotel is completed the main aspect hoteliers look for is their front office area, which is foundation of every hotel. Commonly called the reception desk or reception area, the front office in a hotel is the area responsible in accepting guests, reservations, inquiries, checking in and checking out and responsible for sending invitations to previous guests by gathering information from the systems like their birthdays, anniversary etc. The role of front office is to welcome whoever comes in to check-in or check-out in the hotel. Front offices may have an entry desk staffed with a secretary or administrative worker. This main desk can offer assistance to incoming clients or customers, and can direct queries to correct personnel. Alternatively, all personnel in the department may be trained in customer assistance; since workers in this area of the business may have many duties, training all of them in customer service means that someone will almost always be available to help a client.
