Download or read book Feasibility Studies for Hotels written by Wolfgang Fercher and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2006-10-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: The intensity of competition in the tourism business, especially in the hotel industry has continuously grown during the last years. This development leads to the situation that capital investments in the hospitality industry are connected with ever increasing risks. In order to minimize these risk potentials, a detailed evaluation of the competitiveness and market compatibility of a planned project is an essential part of any project development process. Those analyses are covered in the course of a feasibility study which encloses all aspects that influence the success of a hotel project. In this context, a feasibility study serves as an information tool for project developers, investors, tenants, hotel operators and financiers in order to make decisions with regard to a specific hotel project. The preparation of a feasibility study requires the combination of a multitude of aspects, hence input from all participants in the project development process. Getting hold of information and the appropriate usage of this information is crucial in order to ensure the success of a study. The main objective of this diploma thesis is to identify the most important and current issues in feasibility evaluation of hotel projects. In practice, many studies are prepared following a fixed model, which has not been changed for years. However, the hospitality industry is highly competitive and dynamic, new additions to the existing supply therefore need to be analyzed very carefully. The focus of this diploma thesis is specifically put on the hospitality industry. This means that feasibility evaluation for other types of project development in the tourist industry is not subject to this study. The aim of the thesis is on the one hand to point out aspects that have to be taken into consideration in any study, and to give suggestions for improvements on the other hand. The author has laid down the following four hypotheses that serve as the main source for the research questions. - Hypothesis 1: The sensitivity analysis is the most important component of a feasibility study. - Hypothesis 2: A feasibility study is the most important decision making factor for the investor in a hotel project. - Hypothesis 3: If the results of a feasibility study seem to turn out negative, then the operative concept of the project is changed. - Hypothesis 4: The level of the construction cost is the factor that is most difficult to estimate and is therefore [...]
Download or read book Financing Tourist Development Through Stock Capital written by Aristeidis Samitas and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an economic and social activity, tourism could be one of the most important factors for the development of a country. This paper uses the study of business events to investigate the success of financing the tourist sector through stock capital, especially the accommodation sector. Five large tourist enterprises were the focus of the research and the events that were the core of analysis were announcements about financial results. The study identifies and forecasts the way in which stock returns generally react to tourist sector announcements, such as the dissemination of annual, semi-annual and quarterly financial reports. The empirical evidence indicates that the annual reports have a positive impact on stock returns. In the paper the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) is put forward as an alternative opportunity for tourism companies to raise capital and to extend their development plans.

Download or read book Political Economy of Tourism written by Jan Mosedale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-01-11 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political economy, in its various guises and transfigurations, is a research philosophy that presents both social commentary and theoretical progress and is concerned with a number of different topics: politics, regulation and governance, production systems, social relations, inequality and development amongst many others. As a critical theory, political economy seeks to provide an understanding of societies – and of the structures and social relations that form them – in order to evoke social change toward more equitable conditions. Despite the early influence of critical development studies and political economy on tourism research, political economy has received relatively little attention in tourism research. Political Economy and Tourism the first volume to bring together different theoretical perspectives and discourse in political economy related to tourism. Written by leading scholars, the text is organised into three sequential Parts, linked by the principle that ‘the political’ and ‘the economic’ are intimately connected. Part one presents different approaches to political economy, including Marxist political economy, regulation, comparative political economy, commodity chain research and alternative political economies; Part two links key themes of political economy, such as class, gender, labour, development and consumption, to tourism; and Part three examines the political economy at various geographical scales and focuses on the outcomes and processes of the political act of planning and managing tourism production. This engaging volume provides insights and alternative critical perspectives on political economy theory to expand discussions of tourism development and policy in the future. Political Economy and Tourism is a valuable text for students, researchers and academics interested in Tourism and related disciplines.

Book excerpt: The bestselling author of the acclaimed House of Cards and The Last Tycoons turns his spotlight on to Goldman Sachs and the controversy behind its success. From the outside, Goldman Sachs is a perfect company. The Goldman PR machine loudly declares it to be smarter, more ethical, and more profitable than all of its competitors. Behind closed doors, however, the firm constantly straddles the line between conflict of interest and legitimate deal making, wields significant influence over all levels of government, and upholds a culture of power struggles and toxic paranoia. And its clever bet against the mortgage market in 2007—unknown to its clients—may have made the financial ruin of the Great Recession worse. Money and Power reveals the internal schemes that have guided the bank from its founding through its remarkable windfall during the 2008 financial crisis. Through extensive research and interviews with the inside players, including current CEO Lloyd Blankfein, William Cohan constructs a nuanced, timely portrait of Goldman Sachs, the company that was too big—and too ruthless—to fail.
