"The accommodations industry in British Columbia as a whole is experiencing a problem with over capacity. The excess of rooms derived from a continuation of new construction in the provincial industry all through the period of the economic recession in the early-1990s. The problem of over capacity in the accommodations industry on a provincial-wide basis should end by late-1996.
Over capacity has not been a problem for the industry in Northern British Columbia. In fact, occupancy rates in excess of 90 percent have not been uncommon in the northeastern part of the province. Over capacity problems have been most serious in the Okanagon ... "

"In April, 1993, Barbara Meller-Jensen, a tourist from Germany and the mother of two small children, was murdered in what has become known as a "bump-and-run" robbery only five miles from Miami International Airport.. Jensen was the seventh tourist killed in Florida in the previous seven months. By October of that year, there were nine such murders.. These murders have become a frightening South Florida trend: young criminals stalking tourists who drive clearly marked rental cars. Unfortunately, for years, Florida has suffered the highest overall crime rate of any state and the highest rate of violent crime.. Surprisingly, only one tenth of one percent of the 41 million tourists to the state in 1992 were crime victims. However, Florida's citizens are the ones who endure the worst. In 1992, more than eight out of every 100 residents were crime ... "

"Tourism is an industry that many countries seek to encourage because of the large amount of foreign exchange it develops without requiring large amounts of natural resources or direct government expenditures. In developing countries, tourism can serve to introduce foreign visitors to the country and may result in increased business activity down the line. In addition to foreign tourism, various locations within countries seek to promote their own areas as sites for domestic travel, again to attract the traveler's money. Tourism encourages a wide variety of businesses, such as hotels, tour operators and restaurants, and helps supports ancillary businesses, such as retail sales and local industry. This research examines the various social, cultural and environmental factors that influence tourism in ... "

"There was a time when the mention of Club Med conjured up visions of a tropical paradise where only singles vacationed. Not any more. Club Med is now the place to go for families with kids--whether for strolling the beaches or for frolicking in the surf (Birnbaum, 1989, p. 32). Indeed, Club Med is now the answer to parents who want a romantic vacation for themselves as well as fun activities to keep their children busy. For parents at the Club Med, there now is a great psychological freedom in knowing that one's children are taken care of by on-site child care (Culbreth, 1993, p. 26-29). What caused this drastic change in Club Med--from a singles orientation to a family orientation--will be explored in this research.
Club Med began over four decades ago, with just a few canvas tents scattered along a Majorcan beach--now there are more than..."

"MARRIOTT HOTELS
Historical Background
The Marriott hotel empire started out in 1927 as a mere rootbeer stand in Washington, D.C. by John Marriott of Utah (Goldwasser, 1986, p. 55). It then expanded into a full restaurant and eventually developed into a chain of restaurants called Hot Shoppes. Hot Shoppes specialized in tamales and chili con carne. Its next step diversification was in the field of airline catering in 1937. Twenty years after that, however, came its major move into hotels. The first hotel was opened in Arlington, Virgina. In 1964, Marriott's son Bill became president of the company, heading a conglomerate of four hotels, forty-five ..."

"Club Med, Inc., is the American part of Club M?diteran?e, a French resort company that began operations in 1950. When the first "village" (as Club Med resorts are called) opened in Majorca, visitors stayed in U.S. Army tents. The emphasis from 1950 through the mid-1970s was on low-budget vacation packages targeted to unmarried individuals. Villages had no door locks, no safes for valuables and often no in-room telephones. The seclusion which became a hallmark for the villages also provided built-in security, which was enhanced as necessary with fences and alarms.
In addition to seclusion, Club Med offered an all.in.one package that included all meals, activities and lodgings for the duration of the guest's stay. There was no tipping. Entertainment was provided by the village staff, and amateur night ..."

"Resort hotels outperformed standard hotels during 1990 in terms of occupancy levels, room rates and operating profits. During that year, occupancy levels exceeded standard hotels by 11 percent in the United States and elsewhere, and the average room rate in a resort was 80 percent higher than at standard hotels. This translates to an average occupancy rate of 75 percent for resorts and 64 percent for standard hotels (Blum, 18). Recognizing that resorts compose a unique and lucrative component of the hotel market, this research seeks to understand the different types of resorts and the occupancy problems that are associated with each. In addition, methods of increasing the occupancy rate are examined. The scope of the research is limited to the United States.
Resorts are hotels that are destinations in and of ..."

"Executive Summary
The Walt Disney Company entered the amusement park market in July 1955 when it opened a new park 30 miles south of Los Angeles, California. Named for its owner, the park ushered in a new era of family entertainment and revitalized the amusement park industry.

Abstract
This paper explores how franchise owners and politicians justify building stadiums at the public's expense and analyzes the merits of these justifications. The focus then turns to the peculiar economic structure of sports, and how it relates to public stadium subsidies. Lastly, this paper examines other means, both public and private, by which stadium construction can be funded and discusses the relative merits of each of these methods. For the purpose of placing this discussing within a concrete framework, the first section comprises a case study of the Gateway Project in Cleveland, Ohio, which built new homes for Major League Baseball?s "Indians" and the National Basketball Association?s "Cavaliers".
From the Paper
"Every major city in the United States is home to at least one, if not several, major sports franchises. These franchises are no doubt a great boon to their respective local economies in that they create jobs and increase tourism revenue. However, these benefits come at a cost, and the largest of these costs to cities is the construction of a new stadium. Some cities save on this cost by housing multiple teams (usually playing different sports) in the same facility, but in recent years team owners have become increasingly insistent on having an having a stadium exclusively for their team. Municipalities are then faced with the choice of shelling out hundreds of millions of dollars or having their local franchise move elsewhere."

"Introduction
When Walt Disney opened an amusement park in the middle of Southern California orange groves in 1955, he changed the way that Americans, and the world, viewed such entertainment. Once the domain of carnival hucksters, amusement parks underwent a significant makeover at the hands of the head of the Disney Studios. Through shrewd marketing, including a tie-in to a national television program, Disney successfully marketed Disneyland as a unique entertainment experience and made his theme park world famous. In the mid-1960s, plans were made for a second park, this one located in Florida, which was significant larger than the Anaheim park and which opened in the early 1970s. A third theme park opened in the 1980s in Tokyo, and a fourth in Europe in the early 1990s. The company also operates resorts at each of the theme park site..."

"There is a region called Chinatown in many major American cities, a region where Chinese immigrants have gathered together and opened businesses in such numbers that they have created a small version of their home in China. Such regions have a strong attraction for tourists because of the exotic nature of the food and goods sold. The best-known Chinatown may be that in Los Angeles because of its being featured in the movie Chinatown, which had little to do with Chinatown then or now.
The Chinatown best known as a tourist mecca is probably that in San Francisco, a Chinatown that has been closely identified with the city for decades. The reason for the concentration of Chinese in San Francisco in particular is historical, since many Chinese were brought to California in the nineteenth century to work on the railroads. Once the railroads were built, most..."
