• Hotel quality manual

  Author: Martínez Villa, Alberto.
  Publishers: Septem / 2008
  ISBN: 978-84-96491-61-8
  Number of pages: 170

  This book is much more than a simple list of guidelines on how to adapt different standards to hotel establishments: on the one hand it combines two systems that, up to now, used to be integrated into companies separately and with great difficulty. It also describes a methodology that is accessible to professionals in the hotel trade and contains a good number of practical examples. All in all, the guide is useful for businessmen and professionals working in the hotel and catering world and the tourism sector, as it introduces them to standardisation and quality, something especially useful at a time when international quality standards are being analysed and discussed for implementation by the tourism ISO committee.

Anyone wanting to learn more about this branch of applied social research will find that this book is a useful guide to different points of view and approaches, as well as new empirical information, with regard to the study of world and Spanish tourism.
  

• The experience of tourism. A sociological study of the residential tourism process

  Author: Mantecón, Alejandro.
  Publishers: Icaria / 2008
  ISBN: 978-84-7426-977-2
  Number of pages: 298

  The expression "residential tourism" involves a number of processes that are difficult to define accurately, including the intense economic activity associated with the housing industry and aspects of traditional tourism. These in turn are interlinked with some of the new forms of migration and residence. The author carried out a study in the main tourist resorts in the province of Alicante to analyse social perception of tourist-residential development on the Mediterranean coast. From a qualitative sociological viewpoint, the author explains and documents how residents in these localities simultaneously accept and reject the affects of tourist-residential modernisation even though it is clear that, in the end, the trend towards legitimising the process is prevailing.
