HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY

THE HISTORY OF TRAVEL AND TOURISM

Long before the invention of the wheel, travel occurred for a variety of reasons.

As seasons changed & animals migrated, people traveled to survive.

Since they moved on foot, they were confined to fairly small geographical areas.

Many cultures and nations moved great armies & navies to conquer & control resources & trades routes.

16

Stretched from the Egyptians to the Greeks and with the fall of Roman Empire.

THE EMPIRE ERA

At this time, people began travelling in large numbers for governmental, commercial, educational & religious purposes out of the necessity and pleasure. Egyptians Kingdoms, Greek Empire (900-200 B.C), Roman Empire (500 B.C-A.D. 300) As travel became commonplace, basic necessities such as food & lodging had to be provided. Money used widely as a common currency of exchange. As centers of governmental activities, these city-states became attraction themselves.

Shopping, eating, drinking and watching spectator sport and theatrical performances are just a few of the many activities that grew out of travel & evolved into the more encompassing aspects of tourism. Common languages are spoken and established legal system create a perception of personal safety.

17

THE MIDDLES AGES & RENAISSANCE ERA

Travel almost disappeared during the Middle Ages (5th-14th centuries) as the Roman Empire crumbled. This breakdown resulted in the fragmentation of transportation system, currencies & languages, making travel a difficult & sometimes dangerous experience. The rebirth in travel emerged slowly during the Renaissance (14th-16th centuries).

Trade routes began reopen and the desire to learn & experience other cultures to be gained from travel & led to the Grand Tour Era.

18

THE GRAND TOUR ERA 1613-1785, luxurious travel & tourism activities originated with the wealthy English. Travels became a status symbol representing the ultimate in social & educational experiences. People at this time traveled seeking to experience the cultures. Economic and social structures changed. Agricultural and commercial, moved to modern industrialism. Economic growth & technological advances led to more efficient forms of transportation & integration of markets across geographic. Travel became a business necessity as well as a leisure activity & tourism suppliers rapidly developed to serve the growing needs travelers.

TRANSPORTATION Transportation,the act of transporting, enables the movement of people or goods from one location to another. It needs an efficient system with necessary facilities, means and equipment to transport people and/or cargo. Transportation is certainly the prime means and facilitator of growing spatial interaction the world over. Transport is key enabler of tourism and plays a vital role in moving tourists from their place of residence to their final destination and on to various attractions. Transport connects the markets in tourism generating regions to destinations and facilitates the internal movement of visitors between components of the tourist experience (e.g. attractions, accomodation, commercial services, etc.). The location, capacity, efficiency and connectivity of transport can therefore play an important role in how a destination physically develops and significantly influence the mobility of visitors and the connectivity of tourist experiences within destinations.

21

1. AIR TRAVEL Air transportation can be separated into national (or domestic) and international flights. Domestic flights depart from one point to another within the same country. International flights depart from a point in one country to a point within a different country. Travellers may travel through public or private companies. Airlines may offer scheduled, chartered, low- cost, commuter or regional services, operating to / from their country. Very often, they may also have smaller airlines which operate air taxi services, non-scheduled services and sightseeing tour.

2. LAND TRANSPORTATION Travel on land gives a choice of travel by rail, road with the latter offering travel by car, coach (or bus) and campervan. Travel by rail is readily available in most parts of the world, and combined air-rail travel has become quite frequent. Generally speaking, trains offer two classes of service; first and second class. Long distance trains normally carry sleeping or couchette cars. Cars are a popular means of transportation and these may be privately owned or rented. The increase in private car ownership has changed travel habits of tourists. For instance, the fly-drive packages have adapted to the needs of the motoring tourists. Very often, car rental companies collaborate with airlines as they offer services, such as; rental locations at most airports; rentit here.

3. WATER TRANSPORTATIION

There are many form of watertransportation, including ocena crruises, ferries and hovercrafts, passenger cargo ships, rivers cruises. Cruising in particular has stages a revival after many years of decline. Whereas cruises are designed for pleasure, ferries provide a necessary means of water transport for both passengers and cars, over short distances. Recently, short-sea (ferry) vessels have also achieved new levels of comfort and speed on many routes.

TOURISM MULTIPLIER EFFECT A measure of subsequent income generated in a destination’s economy by direct tourist expenditure. Tourism not only creates job in the tertiary sector, it also encourages growth in the primary and secondary sectors of industry. This is known as the multiplier effect which in its simplest form is how many times money spent by a tourist circulates through a country’s economy. For example, the demand for local products increases as tourist often buy souvenirs, which increases secondary employment. The multiplier effect continues until the money eventually ‘leaks’ from the economy through imports.

62

For Example:-

63

In three ways, tourist spending have a cascading and amplified influence on the host country's economy. FIRST (DIRECT IMPACT ) Direct revenue that obtained from tourist.

SECOND (INDIRECT IMPACT ) Revenue that are used by tourism businesses and their supplier to purchase goods and services

THIRD (INDUCED IMPACT ) Revenue circulation that results from the used of wages in tourism businesses and their suppliers to purchase goods and services

64

TYPE OF MULTIPLIER EFFECT INCOME 01

THE ADDITIONAL INCOME CREATED IN THE ECONOMY AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE INCREASED TOURIST EXPENDITURE

EMPLOYMENT 02

THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF EMPLOYMENT CREATED BY AN ADDITIONAL UNIT OF TOURISM EXPENDITURE OUTPUT

03

RELATED THE AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL OUTPUT GENERATED IN THE ECONOMY AS A CONSEQUENCE OF AN INCREASE IN TOURIST EXPENDITURE. THE MAIN DIFFERENCE WITH TRANSACTIONS OR SALES MULTIPLIER IS THAT THE OUTPUT MULTIPLIER IS CONCERN WITH CHANGES IN THE ACTUAL LEVELS OF PRODUCTION AND NOT WITH THE VOLUME AND VALUE OF SALES GOVERNMENT REVENUE

04

THIS IS WHERE STEP FOUR GOES. THIS IS WHERE STEP FOUR GOES. THIS IS WHERE STEP FOUR GOES. THIS IS WHERE STEP FOUR GOES. THIS IS WHERE STEP FOUR GOES.

SALE 05

AN INCREASE IN TOURIST EXPENDITURE WILL GENERATE ADDITIONAL BUSINESS REVENUE. THIS MULTIPLIER MEASURES THE RATIO BETWEEN THE 2 CHANGES.

65

TOURISM IN THE GREEN ECONOMY In its simplest expression, a green economy can be thought of as one which is low carbon, resource efficient and socially inclusive. Green economy is one whose growth in income and employment is driven by public and private investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy and resource efficiency and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services. These investments need to be catalysed and supported by targeted public expenditure, policy reforms and regulation changes. This development path should maintain, enhance and where necessary, rebuild natural capital as a critical economic asset and source of public benefits especially for poor people whose livelihoods and security depend strongly on nature.

THE CONCEPT

Tourism in the green economy refers to tourism activities that can be maintained or sustained, indefinitely in their social, economic, cultural and environmental contexts

66

CHALLENGES FOR TOURISM IN GREEN COMMUNITY Developing tourism sustainably is a big challenge for planners and policy makers. The task becomes all the more difficult in view of the multiple crises being faces by the world currently recession, climate change, water, fuel and food crisis.

67

Challenges to be resolved through the greening of the industry Energy and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Tourism is a significant contributor of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the global scale. The growth of energy consumption in travel, transport, accommodation and tourism related activities and the dependency on fossil fuels, increase vulnerability and uncertainty for future business growth and translate into important implications for GHG emissions and climate change.

I. Transportation Tourism related transport consumption of energy is related to travel mode with coach and rail transport, cars and buses, airplane and cruise ships having diverse energy intensities.

II. Accommodation The hotel sector is one of the tourism industry’s most energy intensive sectors. Energy use in accommodation includes heating or cooling, lighting, cooking, cleaning, pools.

III. Food However, food consumption is different from everyday cause there are considerable difference in the quality and quantity of the food and beverages consumed and because food might be imported over greater distances, particularly in the case of small, isolated islands and other peripheral tourism destinations.

IV. Activities Tourist visit attraction and participate in a wide range of activities at destinations. Some of these activities can course emission

68

Water Consumption A growing number of tourists can be increasing water use. The main water – consuming in tourism industry are landscape, swimming pools, spa, wellness facilities, accommodation, food service and laundry activities.



Waste Management Waste management is another increasing and well recognized challenge in the industry. Tourism can also directly affect water quality for instance through the discharge of untreated sewage

Loss of Biological Diversity Biodiversity will be greatly affected by the way in which tourism grows and develop especially in developing countries. Failure to incorporate biodiversity concern in destination planning and investment will have detrimental effects on the natural environment. For example, coral ecosystem.

Factor that can affect biological diversity • Disturbance of wildlife • Land conversion for tourism • Climate change • Pollution • Introduction of invasive alien species

Emerging types of tourism- film tourism, wine tourism, cruise tourism, floating luxury tourism, perpetual tourism, extreme tourism, disaster tourism, etc. 70

ISSUES IN TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY

#1. OPERATING ISSUES labor shortages Cost containment Increased competition

#2. MARKETING ISSUES Market segmentations and overlapping brands Increased guest sophistication

#3. TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES Interactive reservation systems Guest-room innovations Data mining Yield management

#4. ECONOMIC ISSUES The nation's economy Globalization

71

OPERATING ISSUES LABOR SHORTAGES the most difficult challenges for the hotels business limited by human resources hotel managers struggle to attract and retain qualified workers contributing factors- demography, wage levels, low pay, working long hours

COST CONTAINMENT hospitality business must find ways to reduce costs without sacrificing quality standards while fulfilling guest expectations managers must explore new ways to operate more effectively and examine possibilities for cost savings that will not effects guest's perception values

INCREASED COMPETITION hotel business needs to compete with other hotel businesses and attract customers to keep itself relevant in the industry global recessions and fierce competition has made the hotel industry struggle to keep up because of low demand hotels' rooms are not sold individually but instead with packages. eg: breakfast, airport transfer, day's sightseeing lack of innovations while having high competition in hotel industry

72

MARKETING ISSUES Market Segmentation and Overlapping Brands Market segmentation is increasing day by day as lodging chains focus on specific niches of travelers brands overlap- too many franchisers on the same brands will put investors to compete with themselves as the number of brands increases, the ability of customer to differentiate them decreases

Increase Guest Sophistication Consumers have become more demanding and therefore know the types of products and services they want Amenities such as business centers, exercise, and recreation facilities, and inroom innovations increase cost but, if not carefully chosen, may not attract many customers be served by a given institution

73

TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES Interactive Reservation Issues Guests can now make an online reservation, but sometimes it can be complicated for customers to make one reservation The number of online reservations increasing from year to year by up to 20% according to surveys from the United States it is required for the hotel industry to keep connected to the internet at all times The hotel business will lose potential customers if they fail to fix their online website to other competitors

Guest-Room Innovations Hotels can't afford to renovate their hotel room with upgraded amenities to fulfill customers' needs such as multiple telephone lines, interactive opportunities to ordering room service, and guestroom checkout

Data Mining Allows marketing and sales personnel to get data from their customers (illegally and legally) in order to analyze guests and make better decisions according to teir favorite niche and recent activities

74

Yield Management Allows managers to match guest demand with room rates with a computerized process. eg: high demand means higher rates because of lessened discount, low demand results in higher discount

demand forecasting systems are designed to maximize revenue by keeping rates high during periods of high guest demand and lowering room rates during periods of low guests demand

Used to maximize hospitality's profitability. it is applied to every revenue department

The yield's manager job is to maximize revenue from available rooms by selling rooms to the right guest at the right time, and at the right price

75

ECONOMIC ISSUES Dependence Upon the Nation's Economy

Normally when the nation's economy is good, business travel generally increase Hospitality occupancy rates and rack rates increase, which results in higher profits levels While business travel slows when the economy slows thus making occupancy rates and rack rates decrease Discounts are offered for higher occupancy, resulting in lower revenue and profits

Globalization Globalizations give a dramatic impact on the hospitality industry as it affects the extent to which people, but also economies, play an increasingly important role in the financial success of hospitality businesses They must pay close attention to the trends of globalization in order to compete Industry must reflect the needs of the global village in many aspects of operations including food, services, facilities, human resources and improvement through training

76

TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY FROM ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE Islam encouraged Muslims to travel the world so that they can gain knowledge from other people and cultures as stated in the Quran Surah Al-Ankabut 29, verse 20

"Travel through the earth and see how Allah did the originate creation. So will Allah produce a later creation, for Allah has power over all things." One of the Islamic forms of tourism is the hajj and pilgrimage. There are certain rules and guidelines to abide by when visiting Muslim countries as a sign of respect. For example, tourists can't drink alcohol or kiss in public, or even party in a nightclub. This proves that Islam allowed entertainment for Muslims and enjoy their times without being served by Haram things.

80

CONCEPTS OF TRAVEL AND TOURISM FROM AN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE

there are two concepts of travel and tourism from an Islamic perspective that need to be understand which is:

Islamic tourism: any activity, event and experience, undertaken in a state of travel that is in accordance is Islam

Islamic travel: Travelling that is done in compliance with the syariah (Islamic law) eg:hajj, umrah, musafir, jihad and tolab al-ilmi' (seeking for knowledge

IMPORTANCE OF PROVIDING EXCELLENT SERVICE TO GUESTS

C

ustomer service is a lifeline of any business. Hotel owners spend a great deal of time and money acquiring new customers but do little to ensure that they are treated well when they arrive at the hotel. Ensuring that new customers become repeat customers is critical to the success of business . Loyal customers can promote hotel business better and tell their experiences to other people. Ensuring that new customers become repeat customers is critical to the success of business . Loyal customers can promote hotel business better and tell their experiences to other people. Ensuring that new customers become repeat customers is critical to the success of business . Loyal customers can promote hotel business better and tell their experiences to other people.

While small business should find ways to consider giving their loyal customers something to thanked them. Small gifts are enough and do not have to be expensive. Sending a personal email to notify a loyal customer of a sale before the public knows about it is a great way to personalize your service. Offer your customers a Disney experience whenever you can. You can have a meeting with your employees while collecting and exchanging ideas with them. Since they meet with your customer daily, they might have creative ideas to share with their employer. As such, having guests to give their feedback to hotel owners can keep business on track for long period of time as hoteliers know what customers wants for their stay in a hotel and serve their customer properly.

Gathering feedbacks from your midmarket customers is essential. The average customers, which usually fall is neither extremely happy nor unhappy. Hotel business always think that just putting comment cards on the counter or having a standard feedback form on their website is enough to collect feelings and honest opinions from their customers. More often than not, however, it only gives you feedback from one feeling extremely happy or raving rage or dissatisfaction Most people fall somewhere in between. Pay attention to all of the reviews and try to learn and fix your service from the feedbacks.

APPROPRIATE HOSPITALITY ATTITUDE Muslims are taught to be hospitable. Islam teaches its followers to be kind and generous to everyone, even to strangers. (host or travelers) because of that reason, industry players need to set a good example and demonstrate a warm and friendly hospitality Attitude means everything. We must show a good first impression to everyone as it only takes seconds to affect a person in a bad or good way and this may very well depend not on your actions or deeds, but simply upon the attitude you have at that second. Living in obedience to Allah is extremely important, but it is not only a service to others that upholds the code that we follow that we must check, but also the attitude that guides us in all our actions. Attitudes are natural and fluctuate throughout the whole day so it is important to keep a good attitude even in a bad mood. Smiling while in a bad mood can change your feeling immediately.

85

The values while dealing with colleagues, guests, and customers

Trust

Trust is an Islamic moral value associated with important leadership qualities. Trust in civil servants must be guided by the awareness that trust is the job that should be good.

Responsibility Accept that every task is accepted and trust is responsible. Not just in the presence of the employer, but the key is allowing an account of God as the Creator of the day that is about to end.

Sincere We should never do things and expect something in return. We must carry each task assigned with responsibility

Dedication Dedication means that a staff member must be very faithful to the goals of the organization within the applicable regulations. Employees must demonstrate a proactive attitude in carrying out assigned tasks
