40 Henley Center has divided the tourist into four phases: Phase I- Bubble Travelers − They do not have much money as well as knowledge. They prefer packaged tours. They long to observe different cultures without being a part of it. They travel mostly out of curiosity. Phase II- Idealized Experience Seekers − They are confident tourists with the experience of foreign tours. They are flexible and comfortable. They prefer tour offers made for individuals.

41 Henley Center has divided the tourist into four phases: Phase III- Seasoned Travelers − These tourists are more affluent than the idealized-experience seekers. They are more confident to experiment and experience different places and environments. They are more adventurous and prefer individualistic tours. Phase IV- Complete Immersers − These tourists have an intention of immersing completely into the foreign culture, heritage, culinary experience, and language. Their holidaying is well-planned but not well-structured.

42 IMPORTANCE OF TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY

43 Historically, the concept of hospitality is about receiving guests in a spirit of goodwill—especially strangers from other lands. Hospitality implies warmth, respect and even protection; it builds understanding and appreciation among cultures. The Latin root hospes is formed from hostis, which means “stranger” or “enemy.” Related words are host, hospital, hostel and hotel.

44 Today, hospitality also refers to a segment of the service industry that includes hotels, restaurants, entertainment, sporting events, cruises and other tourism-related services. As such, the hospitality industry is important not only to societies—but to economies, customers and employees.

45 Importance to Economies Hospitality generates revenue for local economies directly when tourists spend money in hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues. It also helps economies indirectly because tourists purchase retail goods, pharmacy items and locally made souvenirs and crafts. In addition, tourism can stimulate the building of infrastructure such as roads and public transportation.

46 Importance to Customer Hospitality provides essential services (i.e., lodging and food) for travelers, whether they are on the move for reasons of necessity, leisure or luxury. Hospitality is a major factor in every vacation and business trip, and is thus important to individual customers and to businesses.

47 Importance to Employees Besides being a huge job creator, this sector provides a rewarding career track for professionals. It offers a huge range of job opportunities, from event planner to hotel general manager to facilities asset manager and beyond. Entrepreneurs start their own restaurants and boutique hotels. Professionals have the chance to work in glamorous settings around the world.
