HOSPITALITY AND MANAGEMENT1
Research elements of this sector about the Hospitality and Tourism industry
in Canada and globally.
The accommodation sector can be considered as the base of the tourism industry, and it is the
most important and fundamental part of the tourism supply. Accommodation is the most and the
ubiquitous sub-sector in the tourism economy. The tourist has few expectations regarding the
location, where they can stay and rest and revive during their travel or staying within the tourism
destination. The size of the sector needs to be comfortable and enough for resting and refreshing
throughout the travel. Based on the price, location and the types of services that are offered the
accommodation sector is considered. The accommodation factor is one of the major factors that
raised the price of the tourism industry. The tourist mainly chooses the accommodation where
they can find the clear bed and the toilet facilities, and they have the different choice based on
the budget, other requirements, priorities and the suitability (Baum, 2016).
Research the history of the company from the founding to the present. Discuss
the Corporate structure, i.e. National or international markets/public or
private ownership etc. Size of the company – the number of outlets,
employees, overall revenue etc.

services to their customers. The Courtyard Toronto Downtown provides the guest with a great
welcome by redesigning the hotel rooms, inviting venues and the superb services. In the early
1980s, Marriott was in search of the locations for the creation of a new brand for attracting
students. The first location of it was built in 1983 in Atlanta, it was the first daughter of the
Marriott brand, and the brand is always there to target business travellers. In the mid of the
1980s, the Marriott international spent $2 billion for building out the chain for targeting the
business customers (Loon, Aung & Tin, 2018). Then, in 2007, Marriott started to refresh the
business initiative for renovating the Courtyard properties. In 2017, the Courtyard Marriott hotel
becomes the first American chain hotel to open up on the island of the Bonnaire. They make
their employees provide services to the tourists for 24 hours. They have outlets of the number of
the locations of their branched hotels are 1145. They face the maximum competition both
nationally and globally in the business market as there is a various hotel in the business market in
Canada and outside the world, those provide the best services to the tourist, and there is also a
large amount of the four season hotel both nationally and globally (Min, 2018).
Discuss the corporate culture of your selected company. What is the company
philosophy towards its employees and clients? How does your selected
company practice service concepts?
The corporate culture of the Marriott hotels is that they maintain the perfect corporate culture
among their employees. The manager can attract their employees towards their work, and this
hotel follows the proper leadership strategy for motivating their employees. The cross-cultural
environment remains all over the corporate houses of the Marriott hotels.
