Summary

This book offers students a uniquely concise, accessible and comprehensive introduction to hotel accommodation management that covers the range of managerial subjects and disciplines in the sector.

The book focuses on enduring aspects of the accommodation management function (front office management, housekeeping, revenue management); the changing context of hotel accommodation provision (the move to 'asset light', the supply of accommodation, trends in hotel investment and asset management, the challenges engendered by social media and the collaborative economy to the hotel market); and the role of accommodation in additional and integrated facilities and markets (spas, resorts, MICE markets).

International case studies illustrating examples of practice in the industry are integrated throughout, along with study questions and other features to aid understanding and problem solving. This is essential reading for all hospitality and hotel management students.
