Este libro Elementos de Dirección Hotelera es fruto de mi experiencia en la dirección de hoteles de categoría superior en esta apasionante y a la vez exigente industria. Decidí escribir este texto para transmitir dicha experiencia en gestión a jóvenes directores de hotel que inician su actividad y a estudiantes de dirección hotelera. De hecho, he ido construyendo este libro durante los once años que he colaborado como profesora en el Máster en Gestión Turística de la Universidad de las Islas Baleares. A este postgrado acuden estudiantes de diversas disciplinas tales como Turismo, Economía, Derecho o incluso Periodismo, que nunca antes han tenido contacto con el mundo hotelero, por lo que necesitan tener unas referencias y aproximaciones claras que les guíen en las vicisitudes de esta profesión. Este libro va dirigido también al personal de hostelería que tiene el interés en conocer el funcionamiento del resto de áreas del hotel y, quizás, algún día acceder también a la dirección. La dirección de hotel es, sin duda, una compleja tarea en la que intervienen muchos agentes y factores a los que hay que afinar y coordinar para que suene una bella melodía.

This book provides a systematic and comprehensive guide to the current state of knowledge on tourism and water. It is the first book to thoroughly examine the interrelationships of tourism and water use based on global, regional and business perspectives. Its assessment of tourism's global impact along with its overviews of sectoral and management approaches will provide a benchmark by which the water sustainability of tourism will be measured for years to come. In making a clear case for greater awareness and enhanced water management in the tourism sector, it is hoped that the book will contribute to the wise and sustainable use of this critical resource. The book is interdisciplinary in coverage and international in scope. It is designed as essential reading for not only students of tourism but also practitioners.

ISBN: 0804781648

This is the first comprehensive introduction to the concepts, theories, and applications of pricing and revenue optimization. From the initial success of "yield management" in the commercial airline industry down to more recent successes of markdown management and dynamic pricing, the application of mathematical analysis to optimize pricing has become increasingly important across many different industries. But, since pricing and revenue optimization has involved the use of sophisticated mathematical techniques, the topic has remained largely inaccessible to students and the typical manager. With methods proven in the MBA courses taught by the author at Columbia and Stanford Business Schools, this book presents the basic concepts of pricing and revenue optimization in a form accessible to MBA students, MS students, and advanced undergraduates. In addition, managers will find the practical approach to the issue of pricing and revenue optimization invaluable. Solutions to the end-of-chapter exercises are available to instructors who are using this book in their courses. For access to the solutions manual, please contact [email protected].

Using examples from the UK, Europe, America, Australia and Asia, this book provides an analysis of the latest thinking and practice in dealing with extreme and sudden reductions in demand for specific tourist destinations or products. It shows that managerial responses, including problem solving and market recovery steps, vary in effectiveness and that recovery may be slow after initial problems are overcome.
