10 questions about my field

1. What's the function of hotels?
2. What is the "hotel industury"?
3. What are the aims for a hotel manager?
4. What would a hotel manager do for those VIP guests?
5. How do authorities rate or rank the hotels?
6. How to create a hotel advertisement?
7. How to choose a location for a new hotel?
8. What are the basic components of hotel products?
9. How many departments are there in a hotel?
10. What work does a hotel manager should do in one day?

  I have found a textbook, which is called "Hotel Operatons & Management". It indtroduces hotel management in many ways, and tell readers some basic knowledge about the hotel. I have also found some answers to my questions. The primary function of hotel is to provide accommodation for those away from home, and to supply such people with at least their basic needs. A hotel in a country can -taken together - be looked upon as forming an industry; the "hotel industry". The aims for a hotel manager are to satisfy their guests and to run profitable business. The authorities or trade associations in different countries may "categorise", "classify",or "grade" hotels in different ways and according to different criteria. Star rating systems are commonly devised and used, which might range from "one star" up to "five srar". As for the advertisement, some advertisements for hotel, especially those which are designed to attract holidaymakers, incorporate pictures - usually photographs taken from"advantageous" perspctive and describe the special attractions of the hotel. The book doesn't say much about the location, it just wrote that the most suitable location for hotels depends on the "markets". The basic components of hotel products are sleeping accommodation, food and beverages, and organized functions. The hotel departments according to services are accommodation services, food and beverage services, and suppor services.
  As you can see that many of my questions are solved in the textbook, and I really learned a lot from it.
