Reinventing Indian Hospitality, S Seshadri

IIMB Management Review

The hotel industry is hopefully just emerging from a threeyear period of recession. The heyday of the industry was in the years immediately following the opening up of the economy, from 1993-94 onwards. However, we had a couple of unfortunate events at that time, Babri Masjid and then the plague scare. Despite the economic environment turning positive, these other elements are very good examples of the ‘non economic factors’ that can have a serious impact on the hotel industry. So it was really in 94-97 that the industry reached its peak. Foreign investors came in significantly large numbers compared to …

Tourism And Terrorism: A Historical Analysis Of Major Terrorism Acts And Their Impact On Tourism Destinations, Abraham Pizam, Ginger Smith

Rosen Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

Since before the end of the Cold War, terrorism acts have had major effects on tourism destinations. As a result, the 'shadowy, mobile, and unpredictable' forces of terrorism are becoming an unfortunate part of the travel and tourism landscape. Few can forget the explosion that killed three in Paris in 1986, the home-made pipe bomb in Tel Aviv in 1990, the November 1997 massacre of 58 tourists at Luxor's Temple of Hatshepsut in Egypt, and the Kenyan and Tanzanian US Embassy truck bombings killing 263 in August 1998. This paper provides a quantitative analysis of major terrorism events around the …

The Impact Of Hospital Quality-Related Practices On Health Outcomes, Deborah A. Freund, Frank R. Lichtenberg

Center for Policy Research

In this paper we analyze the cross-sectional relationship between hospital quality scores calculated by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and risk-adjusted indicators of outcomes and quality--mortality, rates of surgical/medical misadventures, adverse drug reactions, and length of stay--calculated from Nationwide Inpatient Sample discharge records. The results suggest that greater adherence to JCAHO accreditation standards is not associated with reduced mortality or lower probability of avoidable hospital or physician-caused adverse outcomes. Other hospital characteristics, such as teaching/non-teaching and urban/rural status, also exhibit little or no correlation with risk-adjusted survival and adverse-event probabilities.

Managing Challenges And Changes : Developing Business Strategies In Local Hotel Industry, Nyuk Fee Choong

Student Works (2000-2009)
