However, it believes that the Christian <a href="http://www.bible.com/">bible</a> cites <a href="http://www.bible.com/jesus.php">Christ’s</a> birth in the first of an early inn. Between the 11th and 13th centuries knowing as taverns (inns) serviced the travelers on the roads of the Roman Empire. Providing service to the relatively large number of Crusaders . The traditional formula of an "Age Faith", providing we remember that the Middle Ages were many other things as well. Those of us who are fascinated by the growth of national cultures and theirs contribution to the composite pattern of Western civilization can not fail to notice that Europe was born in the Middle Ages. The word of Christ, coming from Jerusalem, added prestige to the Asiatics provinces of Roman Empire. At the opening of Middle Ages, however, the Germans overthrew the Roman barrier which had been cutting Europe in two. Sooner a number of missionaries, soldiers and merchants began to fan out toward the outlying of the European north and northest. That is in fact, made it, and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages">Middle Ages</a>, great. </div><div align="justify"><br />Men are the basic raw material of history. What matters, however, is the way raw material is put to use. Commerce among the various sections became the leading force in economic development. Industry made slower but significant gains. The foundations of modern banking, public finance and accounting were laid. Economic growth and intellectual achievements proceeded side by side, lending support to each other. The Middle Ages spreading literacy among commoners, and trained physicians, lawyers and thinkers in the first universities; medieval traders and preachers ventured all the way of China and tropical Africa. Commercial travel in Europe was an outgrowth of British commerce, which carried over to the American colonies in the 1700’s.<br /><br />Mass tourism is a modern phenomenon that appears after World War II. Recently it is continues to grow as political freedom, economic resources, and social equality extend across the globe. With the large powers at peace and the economic engine of development running at full steam, international travel and, therefore the hotel industry are poised for decades of growth. Estimates abound as to the importance and size of hotel keeping. Certainly, their economic contribution is critical to the global Economy whether as destination for tourism development. </div><br /><div align="justify">The father of modern mass tourism was Thomas Cook who, on 5 July 1841, organized the first package tour in history, by chartering a train to take a group of temperance campaigners from Leicester to a rally in Loughborough, some twenty miles away. There had been railway excursions before, but this one included entrance to an entertainment held in private grounds in the price. Cook immediately saw the potential of a convenient 'off the peg' holiday product in which everything was included in one cost. He organized packages inclusive of accommodation for the Great Exhibition, and afterwards pioneered package holidays in both Britain (particularly in Scotland) and on the European continent (where Paris and the Alps were the most popular destinations). He was soon followed by others (the Polytechnic Touring Association, Dean and Dawson etc.), with the result that the tourist industry developed rapidly in early Victorian Britain. Initially it was supported by the growing middle classes, who had time off from their work, and who could afford the luxury of travel and possibly even staying for periods in boarding houses.<br /><br /><strong>Housing Bureau</strong><br /><br />A housing Bureau or ministry of tourism is part a governmental body that governs all aspect of the territory's tourism.

Such conventions are generally organized by societies dedicated to promotion of the topic of interest. Conventions also exist for various hobbies, such as gaming or model railroads.

Hotels often provide a number of additional guest services such as an accommodation room’s restaurants, a swimming pool, childcare, entertainments, services and facilities, etc. Some hotels have conference services and meeting rooms and encourage groups to hold conventions and meetings at their location.Hotels differ from motels in that most motels have drive-up, exterior entrances to the rooms, while hotels tend to have interior entrances to the rooms, which may increase guests' safety and present a more unmarked image.<br /><br /><strong>Extended-stay hotel</strong><br /><br />Extended stay hotels are a type of lodging with features unavailable at standard hotels. These features are intending to provide more home-like amenities. There are currently 27 extended stay chains in North America with at least 7 hotels, representing over 2,000 properties. There is substantial variation among extended stay hotels with respect to quality and the amenities that are available. Some of the economy chains attract clients who use the hotels as semi-permanent lodging. </div><br /><div align="justify">Extended-stay hotels typically have self-serve laundry facilities and offer discounts for extended stays, beginning at 5 or 7 days. They also have guestrooms (or "suites") with kitchens. The kitchens include at a minimum: a sink, a refrigerator (usually full size), a microwave, and a stovetop. Some kitchens also have dishwashers and conventional ovens. </div><div align="justify"><br />Extended stay hotels are popular with business travelers on extended assignments, families in the midst of relocation, and anyone else in need of temporary housing. Extended stay hotels are also using by travelers who appreciate the larger space a typical suite provides also extended stay hotels. </div><br /><div align="justify">Residence Inn is crediting with popularizing the "extended stay" concept. The chain was launched in 1975 in Wichita, Kansas by Jack DeBoer, and acquired by Marriott Corporation in 1987. As of April 2005, there were over 450 Residence Inn hotels in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Some extended stay Hotels are coming up in United Kingdom and Ireland as well.<br />One of today's most popular long term lodging brands came from the merger of Extended Stay America and Homestead Hotels. Both these chains were already well established when they combined in 2004 to become Extended Stay Hotels with over 670 owned and operated properties nationwide.<br /><br /><strong>Lodging</strong><br /><br />People who travel and stay away from home for more than a day need lodging mainly for sleeping. Other purposes are safety, shelter from cold and rain, having a place to store luggage and being able to take a shower. </div><div align="justify"><br />They do that in a hotel, hostel or hostal, a private home (commercially, i.e. a bed and breakfast or guesthouse place, or non-commercially, with members of hospitality services or in the home of friends).

In Ireland, most B&B’s serve a traditional Irish breakfast as a point of satisfaction. The business may be operating either as a<br />Primary occupation or as a secondary source of income, and the staff often consists of the house's owner(s) and members of their family who live there.<br />It is possible for guests to stay more than one night, but in some cases, they will be expecting to be away from the house during the main part of the day. This arrangement however is generally found to be convenient, for many of the more popular B&B’s are located in beach and mountain areas. Because most B&B’s are small, rarely with room for more than about 10-15 guests, it is advisable for anyone wanting to stay at a bed and breakfast to make reservations well in advance of their travel date. Consultation with a qualified travel agent knowledgeable in this type of accommodation is recommending; many B&B’s belong to associations, have a web presence, and are describing various books and travel guides.<br />calling micro businesses or Sohos. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">If you live to learn, then you will learn to live.

Boutique hotels differentiate themselves from larger chain or branded hotels by providing an exceptional and personalized level of accommodation, services and facilities.<br />Boutique hotels are furnished in a themed, stylish and/or aspirational manner. Although usually considerably smaller than a mainstream hotel (ranging from 3 to 100 guest rooms) boutique hotels are generally fitted with telephone and wi-fi Internet connections, honesty bars and often cable/pay TV. 24-hour hotel staff attends to Guest services.

Different great rooms will combine different functions, e.g. some may incorporate a reading area, thus bringing the traditional study function into the scheme of the room, while others may forego this particular function. </div><div align="justify"><br />Often the presence of a great room indicates the absence of the correlative traditional rooms whose functions the great room assumes. However, this need not always is the case, e.g. the abovementioned great room with a reading area may be in an abode, which also contains a separate dedicated study. Importantly, it would seem that the as the ratio between the two parameters "functions assumed by the great room" and "rooms whose functions have been assumed which still survive alongside the great room" decreases, it becomes increasingly likely that what one is dealing with is less a great room in the standard sense of the term and more a true reception room in the lineage of larger estate houses; the implication of this statistical analysis is more tight-fitting to reality as the magnitude of each parameter increases, while still respecting the ratio test described supra.<br />In the most general sense, great rooms are typically found on the lower level of American multi-story homes built in the second half of the 20th century.</div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><a name="_Toc163749385"></a><a name="_Toc163741400"></a><a name="_Toc148544195"><strong>Types of Beds</strong></a><br /><a name="_Toc163749386"></a><a name="_Toc163747784"></a><a name="_Toc163743269"></a><a name="_Toc163741401"></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYfhemTyM_cK4FvqwxzV1z0b8nI1Azc-cQTDpMhGwwMIvVOMQ070oUw_hKWYrvWu4DOusCBnQ9yXdRfuchnyRpFoEWROjDT9l9yfmQd24DDA8E_AFTrdc4sRPdN7zKuNmfecp_yRKgdwkk/s1600-h/Imagen12.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104905414887190338" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="197" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYfhemTyM_cK4FvqwxzV1z0b8nI1Azc-cQTDpMhGwwMIvVOMQ070oUw_hKWYrvWu4DOusCBnQ9yXdRfuchnyRpFoEWROjDT9l9yfmQd24DDA8E_AFTrdc4sRPdN7zKuNmfecp_yRKgdwkk/s400/Imagen12.jpg" width="262" border="0" /></a>A bed is a piece of furniture or location primarily used or intended for sleeping upon, but which can serve other functions as well.<br />Beds come in a wide array of shapes and sizes.

Also used is some form of covering blanket to provide warmth to the sleeper, often bed sheets, a quilt, or a duvet. The bed frame may simply be made of wood or metal, but many also use springs. Most expensive and bulky, but also strong and comfortable is a box spring or divan, a large mattress-sized box containing wood and springs। A dust ruffle, bed skirt, or valance sheet may be used to make the bed frame match the rest of the bedding.<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><a name="_Toc163749387"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Twin</span></strong></a><br /><br />This size is fairly popular in college dormitories, and is used in the hostilely like extra bed, mostly for triple occupancy, measurement of 39 in × 80 in (1 m × 2.05 m)<br /><br /><a name="_Toc163749388"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Twin-Double</span></strong></a></div><br /><div align="justify"><br />Most countries have a standard set of four sizes of mattress। While the Double size appears to be standard among English speaking countries, based on the imperial measurement of 4 ft 6 inches by 6 ft 3 inches, the sizes for other bed types tend to vary.

Compare the joiner's settle, with its separate seat cushions.<br />Couches are usually to be found in the living room or the lounge. They come in a variety of textiles and in leather. A typical couch seats two to three people and has an armrest on either side. Many different types of couch exist: popular types include the divan, the chaise lounge, the canapé or the ottoman. Also, to save space, some sofas double as beds (sofa-bed, daybed or futon). There are other types, including two-seater, three-seater, corner and chaise lounge. A smaller version of the couch which may only comfortably seat two people is more commonly known as a loveseat. A sectional sofa (often just referred to as a "sectional") is formed from multiple sections (typically 2 to 4) and usually includes at least two pieces that join at an angle of 90 degrees or slightly greater.</div><br /><div align="justify"><br /><a name="_Toc163749398"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Murphy Bed</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><br /></span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw1mKRMe9hhxQyvgwiGhTUtGiHtWh6GPkJY8D48AhNfCFVo_Fapi4Y1wgmNeWBttVMZPo8h55HoU5MfNiVjxg52AzH24pVxn-AgyGIk2nZMbU4i5KvmFfw-AfjMmzJ9vOgoynXQiAQYpto/s1600-h/Imagen17.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104922289813696482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 145px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 141px" height="206" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw1mKRMe9hhxQyvgwiGhTUtGiHtWh6GPkJY8D48AhNfCFVo_Fapi4Y1wgmNeWBttVMZPo8h55HoU5MfNiVjxg52AzH24pVxn-AgyGIk2nZMbU4i5KvmFfw-AfjMmzJ9vOgoynXQiAQYpto/s400/Imagen17.jpg" width="253" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTq6e25AjQTepOj73SuWPR86H753rj6uFslrkCZFs4GAqvX0YaNnwrdx9tYl3zV5PWRXcqeW9xRriuyJ46_csxBmZ7xaopZtSJlaAOkOZtTUerzYK3EKJ4s9q3r6SZNxBQRuRSqh2IDsd8/s1600-h/Imagen18.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104921770122653650" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 120px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 140px" height="85" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTq6e25AjQTepOj73SuWPR86H753rj6uFslrkCZFs4GAqvX0YaNnwrdx9tYl3zV5PWRXcqeW9xRriuyJ46_csxBmZ7xaopZtSJlaAOkOZtTUerzYK3EKJ4s9q3r6SZNxBQRuRSqh2IDsd8/s400/Imagen18.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></a>A Murphy Bed is a bed that folds down from a wall. William L. Murphy applied for a patent for this idea April 1st, 1916 and was granted Design Patent D49, 273 on June 27, 1916. Murphy started the Murphy Wall Bed Company and began production in San Francisco. In January 1990, the company changed its name to the "Murphy Bed Co. Inc." A Murphy bed is used for space-saving purposes, much like a trundle bed is.<br />In 1989 an appellate court held that the term "Murphy bed" is no longer entitled to trademark protection because a substantial majority of the public perceives the term as a generic term for a bed that folds into a wall rather than the specific model made by the Murphy Bed Co.<br /></div><br /><br /><div align="justify"><a name="_Toc163749399"></a><a name="_Toc163741404"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Futon Bed</span></strong></a></div><br /><div align="justify"><strong><span style="font-size:78%;">A futon in Japan</span></strong></div><br /><div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjtNBefFb28Hev6FY0S1eZZfRuyGg-FnUXjIVRyqlaknxP32FZ5WqvqEPcwBS6sP8ABRnAsgcHm1lH_9bLR1t36SW0Cln-PxVpzEjcC7ki0pC09CchIvcCN0q9RVhi90JN9TnPzbfKfP5/s1600-h/Imagen19.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5104931425209135122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 143px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 79px" height="167" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjtNBefFb28Hev6FY0S1eZZfRuyGg-FnUXjIVRyqlaknxP32FZ5WqvqEPcwBS6sP8ABRnAsgcHm1lH_9bLR1t36SW0Cln-PxVpzEjcC7ki0pC09CchIvcCN0q9RVhi90JN9TnPzbfKfP5/s400/Imagen19.jpg" width="199" border="0" /></a></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><a name="_Toc163741405"><span style="color:#000000;">A futon is a type of mattress that makes up a Japanese bed.

In addition, many Japanese people beat their futons regularly using a special tool, traditionally made from bamboo, resembling a Western carpet beater.<br />Western futons are only loosely based on the Japanese original, with several major differences. They are usually placed on a configurable frame for dual use as a bed and a couch, but are not intended to be stored away during the day. They are usually filled with foam as well as batting, often in several layers, and are almost always much thicker and larger than Japanese futons, resembling a traditional mattress in size. Western-style futons are a cheap alternative to a bed or other furniture, and are often sold in sets that include the mattress and frame; in fact, in the United States, "futon" often refers to the frame, not the mattress.

In the United States it is typically constructed of multiple layers of foams, natural and/or synthetic fibers, and springs. A mattress can be used alone, on the floor, but is usually placed a top some platform so as to be higher off the ground. Such a platform might be a foundation made with metal springs in a wooden frame. Mattresses made mainly of foam materials such as latex foam, viscous-elastic foam and other polyurethane-type foam, are becoming more common. Mattresses can be constructed to use almost any support system such as air, water, foam, or springs.<br /><br /><a name="_Toc163749395"></a><a name="_Toc163741402"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Bed frames</span></strong></a></div><br /><div align="justify"><br />Bed frames, also called bed steads, are made of wood or metal.

Headboards and footboards can be wood or metal. They can be stained, painted, or covered in fabric or leather.<br />Bed rails are made of wood or metal and are attached to a headboard and footboard.

It can also be viewed as a mechanism for optimizing economic use of scarce resources such as forests, which are threatened by paper manufacture. Also there are guidelines standardization in the electrical system, an example, all of Europe now uses 230 volt, 50 Hz AC mains grids and GSM cell phones, and forcasting ondas, further measures lengths at least officially is in meters for american system. </div><div align="justify"><br />Common use of the word standard implies that it is a universally agreed upon set of guidelines for interoperability. However, the plurality of standards-issuing organizations means that in many cases, a document purporting to be a "standard" does not necessarily have the support of many parties. As Andrew S. Tanenbaun said, "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from". </div><div align="justify"><br />In the context of business information exchanges, standardization refers to the process of developing data exchange standards for specific business processes using specific syntaxes. These standards are usually developed in voluntary consensus standards bodies such as the United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).<br />A standard can be open or not (proprietary). </div><div align="justify"><br />There are many worldwide standards and drafts (for example, for the standardization of power cords) developed and maintained by the <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm">ISO</a>, the IEC, and the <a href="http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/climatechange/">ITU</a>.<br />Many specifications that govern the operation and interaction of devices and software on the Internet are de facto standards. To preserve the word "standard" as the domain of relatively disinterested bodies such as <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/home.htm">ISO</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web_Consortium">W3C</a>, for example, publishes "Recommendations", and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IETF">IETF</a> publishes "Requests for Comments" (RFCs). These publications are often informally referred to as being standards. </div><div align="justify"><br />Such change will enable delayed making of manufacturing or procurement decisions, thus.<br />Note: the three levels of standardization in ascending order are compatibility interchangeability, and regulations commonality. In statistics, standardization refers to conversion to standard scores. In test theory, standardization refers to measurements or assessments conducted under exact, specified, and repeatable conditions.

People who hold this view usually cite the fact that most resorts are located in relatively remote areas away from major local population centers, making it hard for the people staying there to see any local sights or patronize local business. They also say that most resorts are owned and run by large multinational corporations, such as Club Med, Sandals or Hedonism Resorts thus diverting money away from local companies. </div><div align="justify"><br />Proponents of all-inclusive resorts point to the fact that these resorts usually bring large numbers of visitors to the country, who must travel through local airports and towns to arrive at the resort. They also state that the resorts provide jobs in areas that are economically impoverished and away from the major centre.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">As professional in marketing and tourism, I believe that all investments in resorts and hotels are a large development aid for the economical sector, and they are the greatest opportunity of any sorts of jobs at this sector and also helping with the generation of monetary standards to the ecominics of the countries that offer its nature reverves like land trademark.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Whereas, necessary that the governmental authorities must becoming the adequate controller and regulations to preserver and take into local environment and forest care with projects </div><div align="justify">depeveloping of environment and reverves forests, which as involving the hotelerier investments.<br /><br /><strong>Greenhouse effect</strong></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The atmosphere is normally warmed when infrared radiation emitted by the Earth is absorbed by carbon dioxide gas and water vapor in the atmosphere.

ADR is measure of room rates actually paid by guests rather than room rates quoted to them. ADR is obtaining by dividing the total revenue from all room sales for the period (day, week, month and year) by the total rooms sold for that period: room sales (dollars), number of rooms sold. In addition, it has been classify and formalized these differences into rating systems as a service to travelers. Room rate is one measure that consumers use to rate hotels, but it serves managers, owners and lenders equally well. Percentage of occupancy (a ratio of the number of rooms sold to the number of rooms available) is another <a href="http://tourhistory.blogspot.com/2007/06/standardization.html">standardized</a> measurement.

Feelings are created by the accumulation of experiences with the brand, both directly relating to its use, and through the influence of advertising, design, and media commentary. A brand is a symbolic embodiment of all the information connected to a company, product or service. A brand serves to create associations and expectations among products made by a producer. A brand often includes an explicit logo, fonts, color schemes, symbols, which are developing to represent implicit values, ideas, and even personality.<br />The brand, and "branding" and Brand Equity have become increasingly massive components of culture and the economy, now being described as "cultural accessories. <br />The Modern Hotel Industry, the character of the industry is still shaped by travel and transportation, but other components also impact on the industry is still shaped by travel and transportation, historically, transportation dictated the composition of the Inn. Among these are now methods of marketing and distribution; new approaches to ownership and finance; and new concepts of management structure and product delivery. Each impacts on operations, especially that of the front office. No longer is the norm that of a single guest making a single reservation directly with the hotel. A host of intermediaries has been interposed between the guest and the hotel. If for reservations, folio settlements with credit cards, telephone system, incentive packaging, or whatever, intermediaries have taken on the hotel’s business.

How do you know that.<br /><br />Conventions and trade shows, which mix group and individual business reservations, are contrasting to incentive groups and single entity bookings, purer forms of group business market. Tour and wholesale packages, the leisure side of group business, emphasize the elasticity of price and demand. The chapter starts and concludes with a discussion of segmentation: the shattering of one industry definition into many pieces. Changes in the hotel product reflect the changing demands of buyer/guest. Buyers of products expect choice in auto models, choice in financial instruments, and choice in beers. So too, in lodging, which has been segmented into categories and subcategories. Segmentation gives rise to examples of budget, limited service, and hard budget subdivisions within the economy sector itself one division within an ever-segmenting industry.<br /><br />One tend seems contradictory to lodging’s segmentation. As whole, commercial hotels grow more like resorts even as resort hotels mirror their commercial counterparts. The former add recreational facilities like Spa’s and running tracks. The latter their operating year by filling the house with meeting and conventions groups.

Real estate (immovable property) is often considered realty), in contrast with personal property (also sometimes called chattel synonymous with real property (also sometimes called or personalty). However, for technical purposes, some people prefer to distinguish real estate, referring to the land and fixtures themselves, from real property, referring to ownership rights over real estate.<div class="blogger-post-footer">If you live to learn, then you will learn to live.

It is the legal term used in the United States and in most provinces of Canada for a type of joint ownership of real property in which portions of the property are commonly owned and other portions are individually owned. In Australia and the Canadian province of British Columbia, the legal term for this is known as strata title. In Québec, it is known as syndicates of co-ownership. Colloquially, the term "condo" is often used to refer to the apartment unit itself in place of the term "apartment". This clearly signifies ownership of the property.<br />The rules for condominium government or management are established in a document commonly called a declaration of condominium. The owners and occupiers of condominiums are subject to rules in the declaration of condominium or created by the condominium association, such as paying required monthly fees for maintaining the property's common areas. Condominiums are commonly owned in fee simple title, but can be owned in ways other real estate can be owned, such as title held in trust. Owners can typically rent their condominiums to other people to occupy as tenants, similar to renting out other real estate.<div class="blogger-post-footer">If you live to learn, then you will learn to live.

The legal structure is the same, and many of the benefits are similar; for instance, a nonprofit corporation may face a lower tax liability in an office condominium than in an office rented from a taxable, for-profit company. However, the frequent turnover of commercial land uses in particular can make the inflexibility of condominium arrangements problematic.<div class="blogger-post-footer">If you live to learn, then you will learn to live.
