Hello, Lavania,

 I know you asked a similar question once before:
http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=312321

 Can you please clarify what areas, aside from those mentioned in the
previous answer, you would like to explore? Do you have any particular
areas of the hospitatlity industry that you are interested in pursuing
futher? Are there areas a researcher should rule out? Are you
interested in any particular country?

 How would you like these suggestions for dissertation topics

Hello, lavania-ga!

I have compiled several recent topics concerning the hospitality
industry for you to consider for your dissertation, along with article
links so you can do some introductory exploration into each issue to
see if they pique your interest. While many of the subjects are quite
broad, you can narrow each one down into several smaller topics within
that category. I have merely tried to provide you with an assortment
of ideas that are current and relatively new in the hospitality field.


2004'S TEN BIG ISSUES IN THE HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY
==================================================

The International Society of Hospitality Consultants recently
highlighted the greatest issues and challenges facing the Hospitality
Industry for 2004.
http://www.ishc.com/new.html

* Distribution Channel Management- Finding the right balance between consumer 
  purchasing expectations, commoditization of the guest experience and 
  profitability. 

* Worldwide Terrorism and Safety 

* Capital - Too much? Too little? The dilemma of low interest rates. 

* New Business Realities - Adapting to a prolonged business cycle or 
  fundamental change? Increased customer expectations and globalization of 
  economies lead the way. 

* Service Gaps - Who is the customer? The stockholder or the guest? 

* Global Uncertainty- Viruses, armed conflict, nuclear threats, economic 
  realities -- combating 24/7 news coverage. 

* Building Occupancy - Long term impact of short term pricing policies as 
  commercial, group and tour business dramatically (perhaps permanently) 
  change travel patterns. 

* Airlines in the 21st Century- Safety, security, service-how will 
  affordability and profitability co-exist? 

* Management Evolution and the Shift in Power 

* Financial Viability - rising costs, under-funded reserves, escalating brand 
  standards--multiple challenges to profitability. 

From "ISHC Announces the Top Ten Issues & Challenges for 2004."
http://www.ishc.com/new.html

** Please click on the highlighted link below the list or points for a
word document which offers a complete description of each point.

=

Each of these issues could be the basis of a dissertation topic. You
can tweak each topic to a specific area of hospitality, or even narrow
it down to a specific country.

=

I have chosen several of the ten points, including descriptions from
the "expanded list" for each issue, and highlighted some relevant
articles for you to explore. (All of the topic descriptions are from
the clickable link under the top ten list)
http://www.ishc.com/new.html



DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL MANAGEMENT
===============================
"Having a well-defined distribution management strategy must become a
core competency for the hospitality industry. Although improvement in
this area is evident, the industry still suffers from a severe
disconnect between senior management directives and the reality of
day-to-day property level decision making.  Mixed messages between
brand/price integrity and "heads in beds" continue to plague the
industry, turning the hotel experience into a commodity."

=

I have included two types of articles - those that focus on issues of
distribution management and those which center on the importance of
brand recognition to help alleviate the "commodity" mentality and keep
guests coming:

Distribution:

can do, including offering amenities that co-exist with the brand
name, can attract customers.  * A good case in point - I will always
try to choose a hotel known for offering wireless internet.)

WORLDWIDE TERRORISM AND SAFETY
=================================
"The escalated level of terrorism beginning with 9/11 will continue to
be a major thorn in the side of world tourism in 2004, particularly in
hotspots such as the Middle East.  However, any location where there
happens to be a significant terrorism event will pay a heavy price. 
Travel venues therefore have a strong economic incentive as well as an
ethical responsibility to optimize the safety measures in place."

The following articles focus on the matter of safety as it applies to
making Athens a safe destination for visitors during the 2004
Olympics:

CAPITAL
========
"The hospitality industry faces several challenges relative to
capital.  There are dollars for development but large-scale full
service hotels don?t pencil absent a mixed-use or subsidized
environment. Hence the development capital is going to smaller
cannibalistic development creating a difficult competitive operating
environment for existing hotels of all sizes."

"A secondary capital issue is related to debt financing.  In relative
and historic terms, debt capital is inexpensive contributing to an
increase in development, however, longer term and as the construction
and mini-perms come due, these hotels will be stabilizing in a higher
interest rate environment; will market lift be sufficient to carry the
higher future interest costs?"

"In addition to eroding margins based on the competitive environment,
operators have deferred capital expenses, slashed staffing and cut
back on training, making existing older hotels less desirable from the
customer?s perspective."

=

I have chosen a few articles which focus on the hotel construction and
remodeling market:

GLOBAL UNCERTAINTY 
===================
"Globally, the hospitality business was jolted off its foundation by
the terrorism events of September 11, 2001. The recovery has been
spotty begging the question: has the business of this business
fundamentally and permanently changed and if so, how do we deal with
that reality? Have we entered the era of "No Peace-No Travel"?   Since
9/11, there have been other very damaging events that have further
impacted the hospitality recovery such as SARS, the war on terrorism
in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq, violent political unrest globally and
the first hotel actually targeted by terrorists in Indonesia."

* The industry needs to be prepared for the effects of further global
unrest and instability and take a much more active role in protecting
its guests.

BUILDING OCCUPANCY 
==================
"Making the assumption that business will return eventually is a
highly dangerous supposition.  The industry faces changes that are
converging simultaneously, thus amplifying the impact.  If buying
behavior and travel patterns have changed permanently, then what is
the plan to replace business that may never return?  If
web-conferencing becomes the norm, what are the strategies to replace
that commercial business?  If transparent pricing is the norm, how
will the industry teach day-to-day decision-makers the art and science
of strategic pricing?  If group business does not rebound, what needs
to be done to stimulate the segment?

* The risk is in believing that we must simply weather a down cycle
versus the creation of innovative strategies to reinvent our
businesses."

AIRLINES IN THE 21ST CENTURY 
==============================
"Our industry recovery depends greatly on airline lift, service and
convenience in travel. Traveling by air has become a major
inconvenience and the composition and number of flying travelers has
changed dramatically, negatively affecting airline profitability.
Internationally, the U.S. government has cut back on granting visas,
making it more difficult for the international traveler to get to into
the country. The result: fewer flyers, fewer seats and fewer options
overall. Many major traditional carriers are in financial difficulty
with the top three having teetered on bankruptcy; how does the
hospitality industry recover in light of the airlines challenges?  A
compounding factor may be security; the security of airlines remains a
huge challenge and another terrorism event would be cataclysmic to
that industry and consumers confidence."
