2. INTRODUCTION
 Supplementary accommodation plays a very
important role in the total available tourist
accommodation in a country. This type of
accommodation can cater to both international
as well as domestic tourist traffic.
 In fact, in some countries more tourists utilize
this type of accommodation than hotels. In
France and Italy, as also in some other
countries in Europe and elsewhere, there are
more campers than hotel clients.

3. PRINCIPAL FORMS OF SUPPLEMENTARY
ACCOMMODATION
 (i) Motel,
 (ii) Youth hostel,
 (iii) Camping sites,
 (iv) Pension,
 (v) Bed and breakfast establishments
 (vi) Tourist holiday villages, and
 (vii) Time-share and resort condominiums.

4. MOTELS
 The concept of motel and motel-hotel originated in
the United States of America. Motel was meant for
local motorists and foreign tourists travelling by road.
Primarily designed to serve the needs of motorists,
motels almost exclusively meet the demand for transit
accommodation.
 The services provided by motels include parking,
garage facilities, accommodation, restaurant facilities,
public catering and recreational facilities. With a view
to provide the above services to the motorists, all the
motels are equipped with filling stations, repair
services, accessories, garages, parking space,
elevator service to the automobile entrance,
restaurants, etc.

5. MOTELS
 There is also equipment and tools available
which the guest can use himself if he wishes to
repair his vehicle. The price charged for
accommodation and meals/refreshments is
much cheaper as compared to that in hotels.
 Motels are mostly located outside the city limits
in the countryside along with the main highway
and preferably at an important road junction.
 They serve the function of a transit hotel except
that they are geared to accommodate motor-
travelling guests, for overnight stay.

6. YOUTH HOSTELS
 In the form of a movement, youth hostels made their
first appearance in Germany in about 1900. The
movement which spread rapidly all over the world
was based on the educational principles emphasizing
the need by youth of large cities to travel on foot
throughout the country.
 In order to provide some sort of accommodation and
services, the dormitories in the inns were equipped
with cots, mattresses, sheets and blankets. Large
rooms in inns were used as dining and living areas
providing full board at low cost to the guests.

7. YOUTH HOSTELS
 Since the movement was started with a view to
encouraging youth to travel in order to learn and
know more about the country and also to socialize, it
had an educational value. As such, no service was
provided in the inns.
 The persons staying were themselves required to
look after the unit. Subsequently, exclusive youth
hostel buildings were constructed to accommodate
young travelers.
 There was also provision of additional kitchen where
travelers could themselves prepare their own meals.

8. YOUTH HOSTELS
 Youth hostel can be defined as a building which offers
clean, moderate and inexpensive shelter to young people
exploring their own country or other countries and
travelling independently or in groups on holiday or for
educational purposes.
 It is a place where young people of different social
backgrounds and nationalities meet together and come to
know each other.
 The objective of youth hostel is therefore not merely to
provide accommodation and board, but also to serve as
centers which offer opportunity to young people coming
from different parts of the country as also young travellers
from abroad to know and understand each other.

9. CARAVAN AND CAMPING SITES
 Caravan and camping sites constitute a
significant accommodation category in many
holiday areas. These are very popular in some
European countries as also in the United States.
These are also known as open air hostels,
tourist camps or camping grounds.
 Camping, originally practiced by hikers on foot,
is increasingly giving way to car camping. The
sites are usually located within the large cities in
open spaces.

10. CARAVAN AND CAMPING SITES
 Equipped to receive mobile accommodation in the
form of caravans, the camping sites provide facilities
for parking, tent- pitching, water, electricity, toilet, etc.
 Tough the services provided generally include
restaurants, recreational rooms, and toilets and at
certain places a grocer’s shop, the type of services
often vary from place to place. Some countries have
enacted legislation establishing the minimum facilities
that must be provided which include health and
sanitation standards and prices to be charged for
providing various services.

11. PENSION
 A pension is also described as a private hotel, a
guesthouse or a boarding house. Pensions are very
popular in certain European countries, particularly in
Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. These
establishments are used extensively by the tourists.
 Catering facilities are optional and are usually
restricted to the residents. Many of them stay for a
longer period than a week or a fortnight. The
reservation for accommodation is made in advance.
Mostly managed by a family, pension accommodation
is much cheaper than hotel accommodation.

12. BED AND BREAKFAST ESTABLISHMENTS
 Also known in some countries as apartment
hotels and hotel garnish, they represent a
growing form of accommodation units catering
for holiday as well as business travelers. These
establishments provide only accommodation
and breakfast and not the principal meals.
 These are usually located in large towns and
cities along commercial and holiday routes and
also resort areas and are used by en-route
travellers. Some of these establishments are
very popular with holidaymakers.

13. TOURIST HOLIDAY VILLAGES
 Tourist villages were established in some European
countries after World War II. These villages are situated at
warm seaside’s and in the regions which offer certain
facilities for the tourists.
 In some countries like Italy and Spain, tourist villages are
located in the regions which are economically not
developed thereby helping the region economically. The
villages are mostly promoted by important clubs, social
organizations and also by tourist organizations.
 The village complex is a centre of accommodation
providing extensive sports and recreation facilities, riding,
swimming, tennis, volleyball, football, sauna, mini-golf,
badminton, table tennis and yoga.

14. TOURIST HOLIDAY VILLAGES
 These provide both board and lodging. The
atmosphere in these villages is kept as informal as
possible. Telephones, radios, newspapers and TV are
banned unless there is an emergency. Wallets and
other valuables are locked away at the beginning of
one’s stay. Instead of money, one uses colorful beads
which can be worn anywhere as bracelets, necklaces,
etc.
 The staff is educated young people who live on an
equal basis with the holiday makers. The
accommodation provided is usually in multiple units
and may provide for self-catering. The furnishing
provided in the rooms is minimal.
 The easy mixing of guests is encouraged by the
banning of advance booking of tables in the village
restaurants so one rarely finds oneself sitting with the

15. TOURIST HOLIDAY VILLAGES
 The holiday villages are usually based on
family units, each providing a convertible
living room, bath/shower and sometimes a
kitchen. The villages are self-sufficient
providing almost all necessities required by
the residents.
 There is also a small shopping complex
where one can buy articles of daily need. The
services of a doctor are also available in the
village.
 The accommodation is sold for a week or a
fortnight at an all-inclusive price. In Spain and
Italy, these are classified into three categories

16. TIME-SHARE AND RESORT CONDOMINIUMS
 Time-share and condominiums provide a unique
range of accommodation to a tourist. This type of
accommodation provides on-site fun, flexibility and
affordability to a large number of tourists around the
world.
 In the case of condominium, a tourist owns a room or
a suite within a condominium or hotel complex and
uses the same as required. The same
accommodation unit can also be rented out to her
tourists.
 Normally, the owned condominiums are located
within a complex of rooms or suites that are rented
out as regular hotel or resort rooms.

17. TIME-SHARE AND RESORT CONDOMINIUMS
 Time-share holiday, on the other hand; represents a
very unique example of both international and
domestic accommodation. It is a modification of
condominium-ownership concept.
 In the past, in Western Europe the tradition has been
for prosperous individuals to buy or build second
homes. However, as these properties are often empty
for large parts of the year, these are costly to
maintain.
 Resort Condominiums International (RCI) in the
world’s premier and largest exchange company in the
field of time-share resorts. Established in 1974, RCI
is widely recognized as a catalyst for the growth of
the global time-share industry.

18. TIME-SHARE AND RESORT CONDOMINIUMS
 RCI is credited with having invented and
pioneered the time-share holiday concept
worldwide. Today, RCI is the largest time-share
exchange company with over 3,300 resorts in 90
countries with more than 2.4 million time-share-
owning households.
 Many hotel properties around the world have
benefited from this concept. This concept enables
them to tide over low occupancy rates during lean
or low seasons.
 Several hotel chains worldwide have opted for the
mixed use concept whereby a certain number of
hotel rooms are put into time-share. This enables
them to tide over the problem of low occupancy
during lean seasons.

19. TIME-SHARE AND RESORT CONDOMINIUMS
 Many time-share properties are affiliated with a
time-share exchange programme that permit
members to trade their weeks for time at
another property with which it has an affiliation
agreement. RCI exchange programme works
like this.
 When a member asks to make an exchange
request, his/her weeks are deposited into the
SPACEBANK Pool for someone else to take.
The computer searches through its data bank to
find a suitable holiday match to the member’s
request.
