Book Description
The hospitality sector is facing increasing competition and complexity over recent decades in its development towards a global industry. The strategic response to this is still that hospitality companies try to grow outside their traditional territories and domestic markets, while the expansion patterns and M&A activities of international hotel and restaurant chains reflect this phenomenon. Yet, interestingly, the strategies, concepts, and methods of internationalization as well as the managerial and organizational challenges and impacts of globalizing the hospitality business are under-researched in this industry. While the mainstream research on international management offers an abundance of information and knowledge on topics, players, trends, concepts, frameworks, or methodologies, its ability to produce viable insights for the hospitality industry is limited, as the mainstream research is taking place outside of the service sector. Specific research directions and related cases like the international dimensions of strategy, organization, marketing, sales, staffing, control, culture, and others to the hospitality industry are rarely identifiable so far. The core rationale of this book is therefore to present newest insights from research and industry in the field of international hospitality, drawing together recent scientific knowledge and state-of-the-art expertise to suggest directions for future work. It is designed to raise awareness on the international factors influencing the strategy and performance of hospitality organizations, while analyzing and discussing the present and future challenges for hospitality firms going or being international. This book will provide a comprehensive overview and deeper understanding of trends and issues to researchers, practitioners, and students by showing how to master current and future challenges when entering and competing in the global hospitality industry.

Book Description
Casino Management in Integrated Resorts introduces students to the changing nature of casino businesses within the framework of an integrated resort or hospitality organisation. In the new integrated casino model, casinos play an important role not only in revenue generation but in supporting the other amenities in the resort, including bars, restaurants, hotels and theme parks. This book brings readers up to speed with the challenges of managing a casino within this rapidly expanding gaming–leisure–tourism industry. It covers a range of essential topics, such as the basic psychology of casino gaming, the role and history of casinos within an integrated resort, staffing, floor design, table and slot game management, control and security, marketing and social impact. Written in an accessible style, this book is suitable for readers with no prior knowledge of, or experience in, casino operations. It will be an essential introductory yet comprehensive resource for all those undertaking casino management courses.

Book Description
"This book is a thorough overview of the key components, functions and actions that shape the physical appearance, operations, market appeal and ultimate success of a tourist destination. The book examines these issues with a specific emphasis on future sustainability in its broadest sense, in a rapidly changing world where the future will be redefined in ways that are not yet obvious but which must be speculated on and planned for." --Book Jacket.

Book Description
How can owners and managers ensure that their considerable capital investments will return a competitive return on their investments? How can users and owners be sure they enjoy the promises of tantalizing marketing and real estate claims? Managing Sustainable Resorts Profitably combines business management principles with environmental and social concerns to offer development solutions to these questions. By taking an holistic and contemporary approach to the problem of developing sustainable tourism operations, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the strategies that need to be considered by various governments, developers and, in particular, the customer-investor. The major features of resort development covered by this book include: • Environmental scanning of principal external and internal influential factors • The curse and blessings of seasonality • Competition for people’s recreation and retirement dollars • Guest activity programming • Environmental issues • Cruise ships as mobile resorts • Staffing issues in isolated areas • Financial challenges for owners and operators alike • Risk Management • Mutually beneficial options for various stakeholders Based on an analysis of global resort opportunities and trends, the book focuses on those generic features that differentiate regional resort management from urban-centric management needs and priorities. Using comparative case studies the author emphases best case/benchmark examples of a range of resorts – large and small, urban and rural - to illustrate what can be achieved.

Book Description
This study describes the master-planning process of integrated resorts using selected resorts in Hawaii for analysis. Three of the resorts are located on the island of Maui--Kaanapali, Kapalua, and Wailea-- and three are located on the island of Hawaii--Mauna Kea, Mauna Lani, and Waikoloa. Although each resort has encountered its own set of unique circumstances which has impacted its development, their historical evolution reflects basic stages in the master planning process which they share in common: pre-development considerations, early implementation of the plan, and later refinement of the plan.

Book Description
Not all integrated resorts are created equal. What are the essential components of a truly integrated resort? The answer lies in the key elements that allow a resort to achieve full integration. Only through this does an integrated resort reach its maximum potential. To achieve this, the principles of integration must extend beyond the resort's boundaries. “How I Built an Integrated Resort" is the definitive handbook that reveals the secrets behind successful integrated resorts. It distinguishes the genuine from the imitators. This guide outlines the blueprint for a robust IR industry and details the "who, what, why, and how" of the entire integrated resort lifecycle - from ideation, to planning, execution, design and implementation. Only then can it transcend the limitations of traditional definitions where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. This book is an essential read for: Integrated Resort Operators Government Policymakers Hospitality Developers Investors Academic Researchers Stakeholders in the Gaming and Hospitality industry
