Exotic Travel Destination in the World

Hotels in the world offers A distinction in the case of large geographical areas, the supply of hotels and accommodations can be divided roughly as follows. In countries where tourism heavily promoted by the major tour operators such as the Mediterranean coast and islands of Spain, the largest Greek island, Tunisia and the cost of Morocco, the countries of Central and South America, they were developed, often in a disorderly manner, the hotel and tourist centers by the presence characterized by large hotels, in very attractive areas are located, with many services, as beautiful as they are in the catalog of the show will tour operator responsible fills them, but often poorly, ended with ordinary furniture, and inadequate maintenance. Some hotels offer low prices on behalf of the organizers, offering great travel accommodation places for low-cost travel, the prices only for occasional customers greater role These areas have seen the cover of several hotels belonging to major chains, sent with offers of hotels and diverse customer base (and not just tourists from the tour operators) and control standards of comfort. The high prevalence of complex receptive than those of small size is the typical feature of these geographical areas from the hotel for the trip-logic developer equally marked. They are rare pensions and pensions are small open exercises almost always administered in small apartments or are they just hotels or rooming houses that are rented ordered. The hotel offers several provides in most industrialized countries, which is the distribution of tourism are old and established, the host is very varied, and the hotel. It is an area called coherent sensitivity referred to as complementary or non-hotel next to the hotel complex consists of residences, camping sites, holiday villages, youth hostels, vacation rentals, private accommodation. Everywhere the right equipment, comfort, clean hotel deals reached acceptable levels. In particular, Germany, Holland, Scandinavia, especially when avoiding urban areas, are all types of accommodations comfortable and inviting. Included in contrast with the countries in the region, which offers a number), the richest European countries have traditionally been the hotel on the initiative of the small individual basis. Today, no company for the clients, customers or casual living is waiting. The client is looking cheered, with reservations, hotel reservations must be simplified, service standards need to by the assumption that costs be guaranteed: Most people ask for rooms with private bathroom, telephone and television, with all the comfort that nothing escapes its own home. Thus, the associations developed between the hoteliers, grading services, reservation network for the distribution of costs, the management of the range. Hotel chains offer similar services in all countries, the book can quickly spread through free phone calls, twenty-four hours. Born in the USA, where are the national chains, the most famous, now widely distributed throughout Europe and, like Hilton, Marriott, Ramada, Holiday Inn, a chain of start-up meeting only first-class hotels, most luxurious and most expensive to view the offer of the hotel. No longer the case, next to the largest chain, with luxury hotels such as Hilton, Sheraton and Holiday Inn, Americans like the CIA and the Jolly Hotel in Italian, such as the Sofitel French, Swiss Hotelplan, with the British, there are chains with more modest category Hotels and more affordable and therefore the diversification of the offer of the hotel. Hotels & Restaurants Offer> France and Italy, countries of the oldest tourist tradition, has a split receptive structure for individual tourism. As Giorgio Castoldi favors wrote in the “Technical Manual of Tourism, Hoepli, Italy, on the one hand, by the continuous appearance in the big cities, offers great hotels, high class, provided the most modern services (conference rooms with additional equipment, faxes , internal TV circuit, etc.) easily from anywhere in the world hosting mainly people who booked on business, and secondly, if maintaining the level of the small hotels, most of the time with the family management, lower class, those who do not grow rather to change their government, based on the work of people from the operation of the motivated, the company and willing to sacrifice, could that be used in hotels. Their work is often not, the family works, from children to regular clergy elderly quantified, often unsystematic or at peak times without the need of some retribution. Therefore, these hotels can afford the tariffs applicable to the average tourists, for the whole family on vacation. They are generally able to gain enough for the whole to receive family hotel offers only four or five months a year. After the season ends, nor is old men, children return to school, the rest is responsible for maintenance, repair, and the hotel offers its customers in the following season. These sizes small hotels, usually with seasonal promotions, account for most hotels in Italy, and they are the backbone of the shelter, which does not fit the requirements of the major tour operators, the need has great hotels, the cabinet interior. For this reason, Italy is not the goal of accommodation for large tour operators in Northern Europe, in contrast to countries such as Greece and Spain. The disadvantage of this approach, for Italy, based on the fact that while he was a large number of potential customers, the one constant floow tourists for offering differentiated services and hotels, in addition to the traditional high season periods. The positive aspect is that individual customers more profitable for hotels, tour operators, while the client is achieved until many months a year, conference offers, but pays little and late. It’s not just that large tour operators for hotels offers much more than usual to change the landscape and atmosphere, turning the ribs, dominated as in much of Spain, Greece and Tunisia happened in the urban centers of the imposing profile of the large hotels. Changes in the group, offers in Italy Significant changes in the hotels offers will be seen in Italy. small pensions have declined in number because the client type of this hotel, basically a family holiday, always use the structures of self-restoration type (trailer homes, a room for rent, etc..) In addition to growth in the offers of top-class hotel, which offers a different tourism, or serve in the leisure, the hotel has three stars, which in Italy, an average of 39 rooms. The separation of the management of the family, but their attitude to the opening of the season. These hotels are located in the areas of tourism, fundamental purpose of the Arts: the area, the hotel is now the region of Trentino-Alto Adige, Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. Why? Probably because these hotels represent the Italian answer to the question by tour operators. These hotels are in group homes is growing longer seasons in comparison to small hotels thus face higher costs than does its administrative work. Also at the request of tour operators, hotels in the situation, the traditional seasonal recreation Thank you to the hotel provides for meetings to broaden events, and agreements with associations or bodies extralaboral presence in public institutions to meet the off-season . In short, the supply situation of hotels in Italy can be summarized as follows: Top-class hotel, great facilities, devoted primarily to business tourism, the increase in number thanks to the growth of this type of application that they provide to their hotel just; lower category hotels, small, temporary management of the family are still in parts of Central Hotel offers, they have family in the holiday as a client type, whose number is reduced compared families’demand change, with strong tendency to self-sufficiency; Mediumcategory hotels to the growing demand mainly tourism group tour operators, congress organizers, organizations for help, they are often lower class exercises that turn, increasingly, their administration, they are under more work-life-style, to meet these demands with its range of hotels. Classification and booking hotels In the case of Italy, the law differs to the hotel’s services: - The reception service open to the public, with the single administration of accommodation, meals and any other ancillary services, thanks for the booking of rooms in hotels; - Motel: hotel specially equipped to arrest and service of vehicles or vehicle during service and fuel supply; - Hotel villages and hotels, in a single room, so that users from central services of residential units in several companies. This distinction, in addition to replacing the traditional structure of hotels, guest houses, inns and void distribution in the traditional categories (from first to fourth), and keep the same rules regarding reservation of rooms in hotels. The law provides that the hotels marked, in decreasing order, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star. The common name of “luxury” is also for five-star hotels planned rank of typical standards of international class. Local authorities should set criteria for the classification of accommodation taking into account the size, the structural requirements, services offered and the qualifications of the experts, the criteria and conditions of booking rooms. The law only defines the minimum requirements that care should be classified as a hotel. They are: - Capacity is not less than seven rooms; - Presence of at least one health service for every ten beds; - A bathroom with running hot and cold water for each room; - A space for sharing; - Technological equipment and an appropriate quantity of qualified personnel for the operation of the plant. To determine the categories of hotels, a sufficient number of stars is awarded, it reflects the quality of the best offers punctuation facilities, services are in use are able to secure hotel, site, etc. In this case, as explained above for travel agents, the laws are fairly uniform and the use of very similar characteristics, as well as for room reservations. You for a feature-star hotels have, for at least thirty points were awarded two stars for at least eighty points should have, to 340 points in the five-star hotel luxury. The private bathroom in each room, guarantee 30 points if 90% of the rooms with a bathroom with 25 points are allocated if the room with bath 70% is 20 points, etc. is provided The guarantor Nightwatchman 10 points and 24 hour room service, direct dial telephone in each room are 8 points, the same thing for the telex, color TV in every room of the Court’s five points, from television black and white 4, for the Indoor swimming pool of 10 points, found a 5 and so on. The classification of hotels is at the request of the hotel itself, which specifies in its application, punctuation is reached, the result of the addition of the parameters that should deliver. The points to which the application is made varies from region to region. In some cases it is the province, in others from the region has made himself the assignment of this category, after approval by the competent authority. The application shall be renewed every five years. It could therefore be considered as an objective classification always equal ratings and classifications are given hotel is equally affected. In fact it does not work like this: Hotels with the same number of stars present, often have different quality standards. The reasons are many. The hotel classification must be renewed every five years, she said. many people than this time a very long period, can sink set in which the material originally available. If the TV breaks, and the rooms are not repaired when the mini-bar are moved when elevators stop when the garage is closed, if the reservation of the room is inaccurate and causes dissatisfaction, these facts will be increased over the years following. In many areas of control that should be done either in the category, assigned or must be verified that the conditions have not changed, are not strict enough. And the quality of the service of many elements that can not be measured accurately is demonstrated, a hotel with TV, telephone and a minibar in the room can elevators, swimming pool, garage have a restaurant and make the sorting in a higher category, but if the cleaning has to be questioned, if the reservation of the room does not work when expire baths taps when closing the window does not, if the walls are dirty room when crack beds, if the staff is not competent, worthy punctuation hotel high in Indeed, a modest service. One could say that this is the control of the market are given: not the dissatisfied customer to the hotel where they were treated well return. The Word Gets Around require some new customers reserve a room. Given the special role of the hotel, for the new customers coming through, the book often in hotels by CRS, without knowing the hotel, where they go, without their choice, and subject for someone who has already notified the hotel, All this leads to less control. The options are three approaches: strict control and constant public (as in Austria and Switzerland are); Control in the name of consumer organizations (including broadcasting in countries such as Germany and Britain); Associative control: hotel consortia, associations, groups of channels to obtain the control of associations to which they belong, so that the customer the reservation of rooms in hotels belonging to make a particular group, known as the hotel has the quality standards of the Group guarantees. Controlling it is today, which seems to be more effective in Italy. The star classification is applied in Italy in the database, as in most European countries applied. Therefore, the tourists traveling through Europe should not be a problem in determining the quality of hotel service. More difficult might choose to be a destination outside Europe: There are many countries that do not exist in which the hotel classification. Rates and Reservations Hotels set freely price their services and they should give you the time of booking the customer or the knowledge of the region to give control to the same places appointed to establish the groups. The price lists of the hotels are being renovated at least once a year, and they may have different prices depending on the season (high, low and average) and offer as a hotel reservations. Various prizes are generally characterized by: - Single, with or without bath, - Double room without bath, - Full board in a room with or without bath, - Half board in a room with or without bath, - Supplements for closed beds - The prices of food. All these prices can be adjusted between a minimum and a maximum. This is justified by the position and structure of the different parts: the larger and more comfortable rooms with view, quiet, etc., are more expensive than the smaller, dark and noisy hotels. Therefore, the prices ranged from a minimum to a maximum single room without bath, most with bath for single, double, with and without private bath and, consequently, for the treatment of Half and full board. Besides the price also depends on who the booking is not whether the individual, agency or tour operator. The price includes VAT must be shown in all rooms. The prices for other services should be suspended in hotel rooms used frequently. Of course, not the guests on the amounts requested in the schedules or contracted. Prices of Italian hotels are the target of criticism for many regions. Statistically, they are among the highest in the world because hoteliers reported a tendency for their maximum price is very high. In fact, the highest number are in season, customers, market development paid for the hotel, the type of reservation. The result is that only a few customers to pay the published rate. And the minimum is sometimes a tenth of the maximum price. Except for special cases, the hotel offers a license from the obligation to practice rooms open all year, with the exception of the holiday period to be agreed with the municipal authorities and said public security authorities responsible. Only in cities are tourist destinations can be temporary licenses that provide for the opening at certain times of the year, are granted. Opening times during the day from the authority of public security, in line with the mayor. The license year for a hotel that has closed its doors more than eight days suspended without giving a word to the Office of Public Security. > Hotel Booking contract Hotel contract for the hotel, as determined between the owner of the hotel and the customer. The hotel accepts the obligations of this contract are as follows: - The supply of accommodation and food costs for the customer and for the benefit of all services provided by the structure of the hotel (bar, television, telephone, washing machine, alarm clock etc. provided) - Accountability to the people: - A doctor should be called if they get sick - Must ensure that they have no contagious diseases - Should mandatory authentication in the event of death - Responsible with the parents and the midwife for the birth of fees - To report those who damage their responsibilities (such as those on the steps that do not suffer fall on proper maintenance); - Responsibility of things on behalf of clients to what provided by the articles of the Civil Code. The obligations of the contracting authority (by reservation) - The payment of the prescribed price or in the schedules and arranged in the hotel; - Respect for the arrival and departure under the contract and the reservation of the hotel, with this, he stressed that, unless other arrangements, the room was booked, is on 18 occupied. 00 the day of arrival and before 14 evacuated. 00 in the day of departure; - The management of the premises where the customer will retain their integrity be preserved, - The ban, in the hotel room to develop any activity, especially the cooking as dangerous or a nuisance bars in the hotel to make noise, etc. The hotel contract is not a model contract, in other words, it is not expressly regulated in the Civil Code. This leaves some room for differentiated interpretations, especially those having to do with the booking of the hotel. The most common unfulfilments on behalf of clients are: - Non-arrival of the customers who had already made the hotel reservation service. The hotel owner protects itself make the advance payment as security if the customer to subscribe to the service, but also functions as an advance to the final bill if the customer is not reserved services, it is then stored as compensation through the hotel; - Late arrival or early departure of the customers who lost power, the owner of the hotel, the possibility of the rooms to other customers, which had been reserved; - The payment is not the bill on behalf of the customer. In this case, the owner of the hotel reserves the right to collect the luggage to the customer to an employee as a guarantee for its loan. Unfulfillment common owner of the hotel is given if the customer is the booking of hotel, not free him, as agreed. In this case, the customer who has given security, is on a fee, which entitles the double guarantee.
