Energiemanagement in der Hotellerie. Wie kann man das Klima sch羹tzen und Kosten senken?
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 1,3, HAWK Hochschule f羹r angewandte Wissenschaft und Kunst - Fachhochschule Hildesheim, Holzminden, G繹ttingen, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit richtet sich an speziell an Energiefragen interessierte Hoteliers, aber vor allem auch an diejenigen, die Interesse daran haben, im Hotelgewerbe durch einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit k羹nstlichen und nat羹rlichen Ressourcen ihre Energiekosten zu senken oder Installationen zur Energieeinsparung umzusetzen, um sich somit aktiv f羹r eine allgemeine Reduktion des Energieverbrauches zu engagieren. Das Thema Energiemanagement ist seit Jahren ein wesentlicher Bestandteil f羹r die Wirtschaft. Klimaerw瓣rmung und Folgen des Klimawandels sowie der Anstieg von CO2-Emissionen sind eines der gr繹?ten globalen Probleme des 21. Jahrhunderts. Deshalb ist es wichtig geworden, sich intensiver mit diesem Thema auseinanderzusetzen. Mit den zur Implementierung vorgestellten Ma?nahmen des Energiemanagements soll aufgezeigt werden, dass in der Hotellerie wirtschaftliche Energieeinsparpotenziale bestehen sowie diese fr羹hzeitig erkannt und mit gezielten Ma?nahmen und teils geringem Aufwand erreicht werden k繹nnen. Dar羹ber hinaus l瓣sst sich der fortschreitende Klimawandel durch ein erfolgreiches Energiemanagement positiv beeinflussen. Neben der Betriebskostensenkung und dem aktiven Umweltschutz soll sich der Gast, aber auch jeder einzelne Mitarbeiter durch h繹chste Komfortanspr羹che wohlf羹hlen. Beste Voraussetzungen bieten daf羹r Geb瓣ude, welche durch entsprechende Sanierungen bzw. Erweiterungen energieeffizient umgestaltet werden k繹nnen. Auf praxisnahe Weise sollen die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit dabei helfen, den Hotelbetreiber im verantwortungsvollen Umgang mit Energie zu unterst羹tzen und betriebliche Einsparungsma?nahmen zu realisieren.

Overtourism in the City of Dubrovnik. Characteristic Features, Impacts and Possible Solutions
Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences S羹dwestfalen; Meschede, language: English, abstract: This research project deals with the question to what extent the Croatian port city of Dubrovnik is affected by overtourism and how this can be interpreted and mitigated. Overtourism is a multifaceted phenomenon that is very much on the agenda of the tourism industry today. At the International Tourism Fair in Berlin in 2018, as well as in numerous newspaper articles, but also in general language use, the subject of overtourism is omnipresent. Due to the worldwide increase in travel behavior and the growing popularity of city tourism, urban areas are becoming increasingly congested. These include overcrowded streets and alleys, public places, accommodation facilities and numerous other facilities. This often has negative social, economic and ecological effects. More and more often, headlines of disgruntled inhabitants, socio-cultural conflicts, infrastructural problems, as well as other grievances can be found in the media. In many cases, these are due to even more rapidly increasing numbers of tourists.

Abgerundet wird dieser Einblick in das Themenfeld Tourismus von der Auff羹hrung aktueller Trends, die die heutige Tourismusbranche pr瓣gen. Eine weitere S瓣ule des Verst瓣ndnisses ist der Begriff Klimawandel. Hier liegt der Fokus, neben Definitionen von Klima, Wetter und Witterung, auf der Begriffsabgrenzung zwischen den nat羹rlichen Klimaver瓣nderungen und den von Menschen gemachten Klimaver瓣nderungen. Auf die vorherrschende und zuk羹nftige klimatische Situation Deutschlands geht die Studentin anhand des Klimamodells REMO ein. Daraufhin wird die Analyse auf die beiden deutschen Tourismusregionen K羹ste und Alpen begrenzt und detailliert aufgezeigt, welche Auswirkungen und Folgen sich aufgrund des Klimawandels f羹r die beiden Regionen ergeben.

”Syltisierung”. Tourismusdestinationen zwischen Wirtschaftsraum und Lebensraum
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1.0, Hochschule Mittweida (FH), Veranstaltung: Destinationsmanagement, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist eine Einf羹hrung in den Begriff der "Syltisierung", der seit einigen Jahren sehr popul瓣r in den Medien vertreten ist, jedoch fachlich noch wenig Anerkennung erhalten hat, sodass die Fachquellen begrenzt waren und die Autorin viele Quellen aus den Medien herangezogen hat. Die Insel Sylt, als erfolgreichste deutsche Destinationsmarke, illustriert das Ph瓣nomen der Verdr瓣ngung Einheimischer durch den Tourismus so gut wie kein anderes deutsches Zielgebiet, sodass bei dieser Thematik der Name "Sylt" stets pr瓣sent ist. Da die Familie der Autorin drei Jahrzehnte lang in der Tourismusbranche der Insel t瓣tig war und die Entwicklung des Tourismus von der Anfangsphase des Fremdenverkehrs bis hin zum "Ausverkauf der Insel" miterleben konnte, besteht ein pers繹nlicher Bezug zu der Thematik. Im Zuge der Recherche stellte sich au?erdem heraus, dass eine Belegarbeit nicht ansatzweise ausreichen kann um dieses Thema in all seiner Komplexit瓣t und seinen Entwicklungen zu erfassen. Stattdessen entschied sich die Autorin daher, einen Fokus auf die Ursachen der "Syltisierung" und m繹gliche Ma?nahmen, um das Problem des mangelnden bezahlbaren Wohnraums f羹r Einwohner touristischer Destinationen zu l繹sen bzw. einzud瓣mmen. Momentan weitet sich die Entwicklung, mit Boom des Tourismus und der Destinationen weltweit, auf viele Regionen weiter aus, sodass es leider nicht m繹glich war alle Beispiele genau auszuf羹hren bzw. alle Konzepte aufzuzeigen. Die Ma?nahmen und Konzepte der n瓣chsten Jahre werden zeigen, inwieweit sich die Entwicklung eind瓣mmen l瓣sst und welche Mittel f羹r die Erhaltung des Lebensraums Einheimischer am effektivsten greifen.
Corporate Social Responsibility in the Hospitality Industry and its contribution to the welfare of local communities. The case of Hilton Hotels
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Tourism - Hotel Management, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Deggendorf, language: English, abstract: This bachelor this thesis attempts to apply Freeman's (1984) Stakeholder Theory in order to recognize the primary stakeholder groups, in this case, local communities. It will try to answer the following questions: How is the Hilton's CSR strategic level structured? Which role do communities play in Hiltons' CSR strategy? What are the current Hilton's CSR initiatives and goals that contribute to the welfare of communities? Moreover, it helps to clarify the company's behaviour and relationship with its stakeholders, having in mind Freeman's major idea that the best responses to the strong influence of stakeholders in a company are to balance their conflicting and challenging demands through the constant evaluation of the company's sustainable best practices. In addition, this thesis aims to examine the implication of CSR in the hospitality industry and analyse the current CSR initiatives and best practices in the hospitality industry towards the welfare of communities. Thus, this research intends to evaluate in detail the CSR strategy of one renowned international hotel corporation in order to classify the important role that communities play in the strategy and to identify CSR initiatives and best practices towards the communities as stakeholders in the hospitality industry. This study takes as example the Hilton Worldwide Hotels. The literature part of this thesis is composed by four main chapters: the introduction and research questions, the development of the CSR idea, followed by its implication in the tourism and hospitality industry and the central problematic of CSR in international hotel companies towards local communities and finally, an introduction to the relation between the hospitality industry and the society and communities. After the introductory part, the second part introduces and desc

Antarctic Atlas
A FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020SHORTLISTED FOR THE ESTWA AWARD FOR ILLUSTRATED TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2022 One of the least-known places on the planet, the only continent on earth with no indigenous population, Antarctica is a world apart. From a leading cartographer with the British Antarctic Survey, this new collection of maps and data reveals Antarctica as we have never seen it before. This is not just a book of traditional maps. It measures everything from the thickness of ice beneath our feet to the direction of ice flows. It maps volcanic lakes, mountain ranges the size of the Alps and gorges longer than the Grand Canyon, all hidden beneath the ice. It shows us how air bubbles trapped in ice tell us what the earth's atmosphere was like 750,000 years ago, proving the effects of greenhouse gases. Colonies of emperor penguins abound around the coastline, and the journeys of individual seals around the continent and down to the sea bed in search of food have been intricately tracked and mapped. Twenty-nine nations have research stations in Antarctica and their unique architecture is laid out here, along with the challenges of surviving in Antarctica'sunforgiving environment. Antarctica is also the frontier of our fight against climate change. If its ice melts, it will swamp almost every coastal city in the world. Antarctic Atlas illustrates the harsh beauty and magic of this mysterious continent, and shows how, far from being abstract, it has direct relevance to us all.

Vom Hotel zur Marke. Markenmanagement in der familiengef羹hrten Hotellerie
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 1, Management Center Innsbruck Internationale Fachhochschulgesellschaft mbH, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Arbeit setzt sich zum Ziel, zu erforschen, inwieweit potenzielle Wettbewerbsvorteile der familiengef羹hrten Hotellerie in den Markenmanagement-Prozess integriert und Risikopotenziale minimiert werden k繹nnen, um ein Hotel als starke Marke zu etablieren. Zu diesem Zweck wurden Wettbewerbsvorteile und Risikopotenziale der familiengef羹hrten Hotellerie auf Basis bestehender Literatur abgeleitet. Als Grundlage wurde das identit瓣tsbasierte Markenmanagement gew瓣hlt und mit den Branchenbesonderheiten adaptiert. Eine Best-Practice-Study konnte zahlreiche Erkenntnisse der Arbeit belegen und aufzeigen, dass Markenmanagement auch in der familiengef羹hrten Hotellerie mit geringeren finanziellen und zeitlichen Mitteln m繹glich ist. Die Basis f羹r den Markenaufbau sollte in den Werten der Familie liegen, die in die Markenidentit瓣t integriert werden m羹ssen. Erfolgsfaktoren f羹r ein erfolgreiches Markenmanagement liegen dabei in der Balance zwischen der kontinuierlichen Umsetzung der Markenidentit瓣t und der Anpassungsf瓣higkeit an neue Trends. Zudem ist es entscheidend, alle Stakeholder in den Prozess zu integrieren und sicherzustellen, dass die Marke gelebt und das Nutzenversprechen zu jeder Zeit eingehalten wird. Auch die bewusste Kommunikation des famili瓣ren Charakters bringt entscheidende Wettbewerbsvorteile f羹r die Branche mit sich. Zudem wurde aufgezeigt, dass Differenzierung, Risikobereitschaft, Innovationen, emotionale Beziehungen, langfristige Planungshorizonte und Kreativit瓣t ausschlaggebend f羹r Erfolg im Markenmanagement sind.

Analyse und Perspektiven von Reisef羹hrern im Zeitalter des Internets anhand von Reiseblogs und Social-Media-Plattformen
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2019 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 2,3, Jade Hochschule Wilhelmshaven/Oldenburg/Elsfleth (Wirtschaft und Tourismus), Veranstaltung: Bachelorarbeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ziel dieser Arbeit ist aufzuzeigen, inwieweit die Informations- und Reiseentscheidung durch das Internet beeinflusst wird. Dabei soll die Frage beantwortet werden, ob von einer Verdr瓣ngung der Reisef羹hrer in Buchform durch Reiseblogs und Social-Media-Plattformen gesprochen werden kann. Die Technologien des Internets bieten den Menschen verschiedene neue Informationsm繹glichkeiten, nicht nur im Beruf, sondern auch im privaten Bereich. In den letzten Jahren ist ein deutlicher Anstieg der Internetnutzer in Deutschland erkennbar. Im Jahr 2018 nutzten ca. 84% der deutschen Bev繹lkerung das Internet regelm瓣?ig. F羹r die Informationsbeschaffungsphase kommt den Online-Medien ebenfalls eine immer wichtiger werdende Bedeutung zu. Auch bei der Informationssuche 羹ber ein bestimmtes Reiseziel geht die Tendenz der Recherche immer mehr zu Webseiten von Reiseportalen oder Google hin. Bei der Reiseentscheidungsphase spielen zudem, durch unmittelbare Vergleichsm繹glichkeiten, die Qualit瓣t und der Preis eine immer entscheidendere Rolle. Reisef羹hrer in Buchform erschienen bereits seit Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts und sind auch heute noch ein Offline-Medium, um Informationen 羹ber ein bestimmtes Reiseziel zu erlangen. Immer mehr Verlage bringen zum Buch passende Reisef羹hrer-Apps auf den Markt, welche alle Informationen praktisch auf einem Endger瓣t zusammenfasst. Neben diesen Informationen werden unter anderem auch Wettervoraussagen und integrierte Karten mit allen wichtigen Sehensw羹rdigkeiten in die Apps integriert. Durch die vermehrte Nutzung von Social-Media-Plattformen wie Facebook, Instagram & Co. wird eine Vernetzung unter Freunden und Bekannten geschaffen. Allerdings spielt diese im Bereich der Reiseinformationsbeschaffung und Reiseentscheidung nach der eigenen

Dubai und die Entwicklung zu einer Metropole. Eine kritische Betrachtung
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der Hausarbeit soll die touristische Entwicklung Dubais kritisch beleuchtet werden. Daf羹r wurde Informationsmaterial zum Emirat Dubai und dessen Tourismus sowie allgemeine Fachliteratur herangezogen. Zudem wurde, aufgrund eines zweij瓣hrigen Auslandsaufenthalts in Dubai, auch viel Eigenrecherche betrieben. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in drei Hauptbereiche. Zu Beginn (Kapitel 2) wird Dubai allgemein sowie die Geschichte und Entwicklung des Emirates dargestellt. Im darauffolgenden Kapitel wird auf die Bedeutung und Entwicklung des Tourismus in Dubai vom jetzigen Standpunkt sowie zuk羹nftigen Erwartungen, bzw. Projekten eingegangen. Kapitel 4 befasst sich mit den Besonderheiten der Destination Dubai, bestehenden Sehensw羹rdigkeiten, geplanten Hotel- und Bauprojekten sowie die Zukunftserwartungen in den Tourismusbereich. Das Hauptkapitel stellt Kapitel 5 dar. Hier wird die zuk羹nftige touristische Entwicklung Dubais kritisch beleuchtet. Als Analyseinstrumente werden der Destinationslebenszyklus sowie 繹konomisch, 繹kologisch, gesellschaftliche Aspekte und deren Auswirkung auf den Tourismus in Dubai genutzt. Dubai entwickelte sich innerhalb k羹rzester Zeit vom armen Fischerdorf zum internationalen Handelsplatz, weiter zur hochmodernen Millionenmetropole mit einer atemberaubenden Skyline und modernster Infrastruktur. Arabische Kultur verflie?t mit westlicher Moderne. Weltrekorde, wie das h繹chste Geb瓣ude, die gr繹?te Einkaufsmall, das gr繹?te Riesenrad, die gr繹?te k羹nstlich erbaute Insel und viele weitere, reihen sich in Dubais Geschichte. Das rasante Wirtschaftswachstum beeindruckt Menschen aus aller Welt. Touristen sind fasziniert, Investoren werden angezogen. Das ungew繹hnlich schnelle Wachstum bringt jedoch auch zahlreiche negative Seiten hervor. Nicht alle Bereiche sind der rapiden Entwicklung gewachsen. Auch aus 繹kologischer Sicht ist die Wachstumsstrategie Dubais bedenkl

Tourist Tax for Destination Sustainability. Influencing Factors of Tourists’ Willingness to Pay
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Tourism - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to explore different types of tourist taxes and the motives for implementing them, as well as the impacts they induce on different stakeholders. Further, the topic of sustainability in tourism is elucidated. The research then deals with the willingness of German tourists to pay those taxes under different circumstances. As the literature review revealed a few qualitative studies on this topic, a quantitative approach was chosen, in order to test the results of these studies and the resulting hypotheses. It was expected, that tourists are likely to change their travel behavior due to the implementation of taxes, it was rather expected that they would not be willing to pay them. However, the study showed, that most participants are willing to pay a tourist tax, if the allocated funds are used to ensure the environmental sustainability of a destination. The factor which mostly influences the willingness to pay, is the respondents' attitude towards sustainability. Secondly, it was discovered that confidence in the implemented action seems to be of big importance. Participants who trust that allocated funds are used for the mentioned purposes, show a higher willingness to pay. Concludingly, local governments of tourist destination should increase their trustworthiness, by being more transparent, not only in collecting taxes, but also in finding appropriate purposes for spending the money on. Tourists are more likely to pay, if it is for the 'right' cause. As the overtourism problem increases around the world, many popular tourist destinations are resorting to measures, which are supposed to solve the problem totally, or to at least find ways to compensate the adverse effects created by tourism. One of these measures is the implementation of tourist taxes, which has become increasingly popular am
Picturing the Islamicate World
In Picturing the Islamicate World, Nadja Danilenko explores the message of the first preserved maps from the Islamicate world. Safeguarded in al-Iṣṭakhrī's Book of Routes and Realms (10th century C.E.), the world map and twenty regional maps complement the text to a reference book of the territories under Muslim rule. Rather than shaping the Islamicate world according to political or religious concerns, al-Iṣṭakhrī chose a timeless design intended to outlast upheavals. Considering the treatise was transmitted for almost a millennium, al-Iṣṭakhrī's strategy seems to have paid off. By investigating the Persian and Ottoman translations and all extant manuscripts, Nadja Danilenko unravels the manuscript tradition of al-Iṣṭakhrī's work, revealing who took an interest in it and why.

Unfortunately, many great military books, field manuals, and technical guides over the years have become less available and harder to find. These have either been rescinded by the armed forces or are otherwise out of print due to their age. This does not mean that these texts are worthless or "out of date" - in fact, the opposite is true!

However, the knowledge about the outdoors over the entire history of military publication is timeless!By publishing the Military Outdoors Skills Series, it is our goal at Doublebit Press to do what we can to preserve and share historic military works, such as army field manuals (the FM series), technical manuals (the TM series), and other military books that hold timeless knowledge about outdoors life, navigation, and survival. Through remastered reprint editions of military handbooks and field manuals, we can preserve the time-tested skills and institutional knowledge that was learned through hard lessons and training by the U.S. Military and our expert soldiers.

Gesundheit im Tourismus. Die Graubereiche zwischen Gesundheits-, Medizin- und Wellnesstourismus
Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Heilbronn Technik Wirtschaft Informatik, Veranstaltung: Tourism Management, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit ist, der fehlenden Transparenz in den Graubereichen von Gesundheits-, Medizin- und Wellnesstourismus entgegenzuwirken. ?berwiegend durch den Vergleich diverser, relevanter und qualitativer Informationsquellen sollen entscheidende Merkmale essentieller Begrifflichkeiten herausgearbeitet werden. Basierend darauf, werden argumentativ belegte Definitionen ausgew瓣hlt oder neu definiert, die nach Ansicht der Autorin den Wortinhalt am treffendsten wiedergeben. Unterst羹tzt wird dieser Prozess zudem durch ein Ausschlussverfahren und Abgrenzung zu anderen Benennungen mit differenten Kernelementen. Vor allem die Ausschlussverfahren basieren auf einem systematischen Ansatz, in dessen Rahmen vereinzelte Aussagen detailliert vorgestellt und kritisch untersucht werden. Die Abgrenzung oder Korrelation zwischen den einzelnen Bezeichnungen wird unter anderem mittels These-Antithese-Synthese hergeleitet. Resultat sollen stichhaltige Definitionen, Unterordnungen und Abgrenzungen sein, die konstruktive Orientierungshilfen f羹r das Angebot spezifischer Produkte darstellen. Dabei handelt es sich nicht nur um Produkte der Tourismusbranche in Zusammenhang mit dem Gesundheitswesen. Vielmehr werden durch abgeleitete Abgrenzungen 羹berdies Informationen f羹r einzelne, andere Felder dieser Branchen aufgearbeitet. Die Aufarbeitung der Begrifflichkeiten von der Basis her soll helfen, ein tieferes Verst瓣ndnis f羹r die individuellen Themenbereiche aufzubauen, weshalb es neben der Anbieterseite ebenso f羹r die Nachfrager-Seite informativ sein kann.

Terrorismus und Tourismus. Folgen und Ma?nahmen am Beispiel Nizza
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2017 im Fachbereich Tourismus - Hotelmanagement, Note: 2,0, Hochschule Fresenius; Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Tourismus wird begleitet von Terror, politischen Krisen und Kriegen. Kein Thema ist derzeit aktueller. In den Medien werden die Menschen tagt瓣glich mit neuen terroristischen Attacken in Urlaubsgebieten konfrontiert. Der Tourismus wird damit auf eine harte Probe gestellt. Doch wie stark leidet der Tourismus, wie ver瓣ndert sich die Nachfrage der Touristen und was tut die Destination, um das Vertrauen der Menschen zur羹ckzugewinnen? Genau mit diesen Fragen besch瓣ftigen sich seit Jahren Forschungsinstitute f羹r Tourismus, die Welttourismus Organisation UNWTO aber auch die internationale Presse. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, die Folgen des Terrorismus auf den Tourismus und die Ma?nahmen zur Bew瓣ltigung der negativen Effekte darzustellen. Am Beispiel des Anschlages vom 14.07.2016 in Nizza, Frankreich. Dazu werden im ersten Kapital die Grundlagen des Tourismus, des Terrorismus und deren Verh瓣ltnis zueinander erl瓣utert. Anschlie?end werden im dritten Kapitel die historischen Hintergr羹nde Nizzas, die wirtschaftliche Situation vor dem Anschlag am 14.07.2016, der Anschlag selbst sowie Frankreich als Ziel des Terrorismus n瓣her beleuchtet. Das vierte Kapitel befasst sich mit der Leitfrage der Hausarbeit: Wie stark leidet der Tourismus in Nizza und weiteren Destinationen unter terroristischen Angriffen und inwiefern ver瓣ndert sich auch die Nachfrage der Touristen? Dabei werden die Auswirkungen auf das Destinationsimage, die Ver瓣nderung der Reiseentscheidung und touristischen Nachfrage sowie Frankreich und Nizza nach den Anschl瓣gen thematisiert. Anschlie?end werden im f羹nften Kapital Ma?nahmen auf die negativen Effekte erl瓣utert.
