Examining Sustainable Food Practices In Luxury Gastronomic Restaurants: A Comparison Between Michelin-Starred Restaurants And Luxury Fine Dining Restaurants, Hiran Roy, Thomas Gomes, Vikas Arya
TTRA Canada 2023 Conference
Abstract
Sustainable practices are increasingly promoted in the restaurant sectors. While sustainability in luxury gastronomy restaurants (hereby Michelin-starred and luxury fine dining restaurants) has rarely been explored especially from Vancouver context. Michelin-starred and fine dining restaurants are significant influencers of sustainable food promotion. Therefore, this study explores chefs’ motivations to adopt and promote sustainable food experiences through extrinsic (planet and people) and intrinsic (plate, pleasure, and place) factors. A qualitative approach (semi-structured interview) will be employed to collect data from a sample of Michelin-starred and fine dining restaurants. It is anticipated that this study will be strengthening the existing literature …

Why It Matters: The Tourist/Traveller Dichotomy In The Context Of Pandemic-Era Overtourism, Kelley A. Mcclinchey
Why It Matters: The Tourist/Traveller Dichotomy In The Context Of Pandemic-Era Overtourism, Kelley A. Mcclinchey
TTRA Canada 2023 Conference
This research investigates the traveller/tourist dichotomy through a discourse analysis of online blogs and travel writing in the context of pandemic-era overtourism. Results indicate that travellers/tourists are perceived in ways that validate one over the other, yet both are intricately weaved within the neocolonial structures of tourism, grounded in imperialism and the power dynamics visitors have on a place.

Financial Impact Of Nutrition Labeling For Restaurants, Mark S. Johnson
Financial Impact Of Nutrition Labeling For Restaurants, Mark S. Johnson
Journal of Hospitality Financial Management
Over the period 2006 to 2018 many attempts to institute food labeling in restaurants (FLR) have occurred. We examine the impact of federal FLR regulations on equity in the restaurant industry. We find no support for the idea that passage of federal FLR legislation directly altered firm value. However, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rulemaking has had a positive effect on restaurants. The Federal rules are preemptory to state and local rules providing the industry with consistent, straightforward, rules across all jurisdictions. The preemptory aspect may reduce overall industry costs of regulation. We suggest that rule-making by the regulatory agency …
Three Essays On The Destination Performance Measures And Objective Quality Of Life Indicators, Adiyukh Berbekova
Three Essays On The Destination Performance Measures And Objective Quality Of Life Indicators, Adiyukh Berbekova
Doctoral Dissertations
Over the last two decades, the topic of quality of life (QoL) in tourism has gained momentum and generated a plethora of studies focusing on the effects of tourism on the QoL and wellbeing of visitors, local communities, and industry workers. Despite the rich literature concentrating on the probable antecedents of subjective QoL among important tourist stakeholders, there are a few studies that investigate the relationship between performance and objective QoL measures. In these three essays, the link between traditional performance measures, widely used to assess the performance of tourism destinations, and objective QoL indicators is explored. The first essay …

Human Resource Allocations For Independent Hotels Under Uncertainty: Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach, Di Wu, Yong Choi, Seunghee Wie
Human Resource Allocations For Independent Hotels Under Uncertainty: Fuzzy Goal Programming Approach, Di Wu, Yong Choi, Seunghee Wie
Journal of Hospitality Financial Management
Human Resource (HR) allocation for independent hotels is critical, especially during and after the pandemic because labor costs account for a large portion of operating expenses in lodging businesses. An effective HR allocation can therefore be critical for minimizing costs and, at the same time, for improving profitability and making financial management more efficient. This study focuses on fuzzy goal programming models covering both linear and quadratic cases to study HR allocation issues for independent hotels as linear programming models are often limited to handle multiple objective HR allocation problems. The applications illustrated in this research can be fully utilized …
Using Acquisitions As A Growth Strategy From Single Concept To Multiple Concepts: A Case Study, Francis A. Kwansa, Eliza Ching-Yick Tse
Using Acquisitions As A Growth Strategy From Single Concept To Multiple Concepts: A Case Study, Francis A. Kwansa, Eliza Ching-Yick Tse
Journal of Hospitality Financial Management
From the day a business is conceived, it is constantly faced with numerous strategic challenges that have impact on its survival, success, and/or failure. Many independent businesses fail within the first three years. For the ones that survive and prosper, they may remain as independents, private and or family businesses, while some transform into corporations and even become publicly traded entities. We use FAT Brands as a case study to examine the evolution of a company from a single restaurant concept and expanding by diversifying into a multi-concept and publicly traded corporation. Internal and external factors such as the impact …

Domestic Tourism In Poland: State, Development, And Prospects Before And During The Covid-19 Pandemic, Ewa BąK-Filipek, Katarzyna Podhorodecka
Journal of Hospitality Financial Management
The aim of the study was to show tourist movement in Poland and its importance in the tourism and national economy. The analysis of the results confirms a several-year trend of further increases in the number of arrivals for both foreigners and foreign tourists. In parallel to the positive trend in terms of the number of trips, unfortunately a decreasing trend is observed in the level of average spending of tourists and one-day visitors. Therefore, total revenue from inbound foreign tourism in 2019 (calculated in PLN) increased by 2.9% compared to its level from the previous year. Tourism, including foreign …

Cost Of Capital For Small Size Tourism Industry In Developing Countries: The Case Of Lodging Sector In Chile, Sergio Zuniga-Jara, Karla Soria-Barreto
Journal of Hospitality Financial Management
This paper provides a simplified approach toward estimating the cost of capital for a small company of the tourism sector. This is accomplished by dividing the hurdle rate into the return of the specific industry in a specific country, and a specific risk premium dependent on the size and age of the company/projects. We illustrate our proposal with investment estimations in lodging accommodations along the northern coast of Chile where tourism represents an important source of income and jobs. The estimations were validated through a survey carried out among entrepreneurs of the sector. The results suggest that our method is …
