Abstract

Most training institutions in Kenya have supply led training instead of demand-driven training thereby creating a supply of graduates whose knowledge and skills in not needed in the industry thereby creating a training gap between the educators and the industry. This paper aims to analyze the skills gap in the tourism and hospitality industry in Kenya. The objectives were to investigate the skills gap between tourism and hospitality graduates and industry expectations, examine the stakeholder's opinion on performance university graduates as compared to graduates from Technical and Vocational Education Training institutes and examine the emerging trends in human labour in tourism and hospitality that educators should anticipate. The sample size was 200 respondents composed of managers and supervisors from 2 stars to 5 stars rating hotels. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. It was found that the training institution applies supply-driven training instead of demand-driven thereby creating a  shortage of adequately trained and skilled staff suitable for the tourism job market. The study recommends the involvement of educators and industry practitioners in the training resource persons and enforcement of the National Qualification Framework to ensure standardized curriculum contents in training institutions.

Abstract

This exploratory study looked at the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs of 10 locally owned and operated Singapore hotel chains. By using a Content Analysis methodology, the 10 hotel chains' CSR efforts were analysed vis-à-vis to their annual reports and websites. This gave clear indication of whether the hotel chains were complying with the promises and standards that they had stated and promised. This report found that the CSR reported by the hotel chains were inclined toward Environmental efforts. This could probably be due to this Environmental practice being more tangible and visible. It was also noted that while the initiatives taken by the hotel chains were relatively numerous, many failed to report on whether these efforts amounted to an achievement. Moreover, CSR reporting on the hotel chains' websites were almost non-existent. Given this, recommendations have been included to assist Singapore hotel companies manage their reporting of CSR activities.

Abstract

Consumers use online e-reviews as a popular tool for information and obtaining guidance. E-reviews have therefore become an important barometer in conducting product evaluations, and more importantly, to make purchasing decisions. This includes decisions about hotel selection. For hospitality industry marketers, the information in e-reviews is particularly important in translating and understanding consumer-specific needs. The current study brings valuable awareness to the limited academic research into hotel selection criteria among solo-traveling females. TripAdvisor's top 25 list of cost-efficient hotels worldwide received 345 total consumer reviews. Noteworthy findings of the current study show unique selection criteria considered important to the solo traveling female including a hotel-provided cell phone programmed with emergency local contact information, and a nearby or on-premise automated teller machine. Study results also indicate that stewardship service, such as intimate and personalized hotel staff who "go the extra mile" is an important selection criterion. Also discussed are research limitations and implications.

Abstract

This study examined the concepts and practices of tourism resilience vis-à-vis its vulnerability from shocks and external forces such as natural disasters, climate change, catastrophic events, and virus outbreaks (SARS, Ebola, and recently, the Corona Virus or COVID-19). Espousing a grounded perspective on resilience as emerging from this new phenomenon that is yet to be explored and analyzed, several studies and theories of tourism resilience were reviewed. These are: resilience cycle or "Holling Loop"; the different types of resilience with an emphasis on adaptation and transformation; resilience as adaptation, anticipation, and preparedness from shocks. In addition, this study synthesized the different approaches of selected countries that already went through past virus outbreaks focusing on China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong's post-SARS recovery actions, and the community resilience of Africa against the Ebola virus. From these literature reviews, insights were drawn for policy and planning considerations of the government and other stakeholders to adopt multi-level strategies that are sustainable, inclusive, adaptive, and innovative. Tourism recovery plans should also be centered on the solidarity of actions and resilience through systematic adaptation and transformation.

Abstract

The hospitality and tourism industry in Singapore is rapidly growing and all polytechnics in Singapore are offering hospitality courses so that they can help sustain the economy with the necessary manpower. However, the new generation of Singapore millennial students choosing hospitality programs assess choice factors differently and give different priorities of importance to these factors. Factors have been grouped according to ‘Personal’, ‘Institution – Academic’, ‘Institution – Others’, and ‘Curriculum’, and students rated these on their own perceptions and against those perceptions from the faculty when designing hospitality programs to attract potential students. It has been noted that the ability to get a job after graduation is of the highest importance to both parties and that parents' and peers' influence do not matter in their choice of hospitality programs or polytechnics. With this understanding, educational institutions would need to relook at their strategies for enticing students to join their programs. This study will also grant a precursory insight into how students from developing Asian countries will select hospitality programs, using Singapore as a model in the future.
