the presentation is on hotels

1. • Accommodation is one of the basic needs for any tourism activity.
• Travellers and tourists need lodging for rest, while they are on a
tour.
• Accommodation in the form of low budget lodges/hotels to world
class luxury hotels is available at all the major tourist destinations
to provide the tourist a home away from home.
• These are establishments that provide a place for the tourist to stay
i.e. lodging facilities which are paid for the duration of the stay by
the tourist.
• There are various types of accommodation which are being used
by tourists regularly groups for pilgrimage. The world's

2. • Tourist accommodation performs an important function within both
the context of rural and urban tourism.
• It provides the opportunity for visitors to stay for a length of time to
enjoy the locality and its attractions, while their spending contributes
to the local economy.
• Accommodation forms a base for the tourist’s exploration of the urban
and non-urban environments.
• Generally, accommodation do not attract tourist on its own right,
rather they provide support services that are the core element
of tourism industry. It can thus be argued that accommodation does
not generate the tourist’s motivation for travelling.
• The motivation to travel is usually led by the desire to experience a
wider tourism product at a particular resort or locality with
accommodation as one of the crucial tourism product.

3. • Accommodation as a tourism product has to reflect the vital
components of any business product.
• For sustainability, a product has to be well positioned or located.
The location needs to be accessible in terms of transport, information
technology, and infrastructure.
• Location often determines the appeal and accessibility of properties.
• Typically the distance decay principle (Distance decay is a
geographical term which describes the effect of distance on cultural or
spatial interactions. The distance decay effect states that the
interaction between two locales declines as the distance between them
increases) applies to decision making when considering
accommodation locations.
• However, accommodation is an integral part of the over all tourism
infrastructure as without it tourists will not visit the location.

4. • There are situations where its provision has dominated development
plans.
• Moreover, it also assists in attracting wider investment in the tourism
product at the locality.
• It is difficult to generalize about the proportion of total tourist
expenditure that is allocated to accommodation because this varies
greatly according to the market, accommodation type and nature of
product purchased.
• A generally accepted estimate is that a third of the total
trip expenditure is allocated to this sector. This figure decreases in the
case of fully inclusive package.

5. • In addition, accommodation acts as a catalyst for a range of
additional sales opportunities within the complex tourism and
hospitality business.
• Casino hotels have discounted accommodation in anticipation of
generating considerable profit from customers at the gaming
tables, while golfing hotels may seek to generate good profits from
green fees rather than room revenues.
• Indeed, accommodation pricing in general is a complex and
sometimes controversial area in tourism industry
