Travel and tourism sector
Increase in the discovery of new places and the advancement in the urbanization have made it
possible for the tourist to avail their travelling expenses to go for a tour that provides them
with relaxation and tranquility. This further enables the tourist to move around the world and
experience the best they can from the beautiful scenes and the tourist places. It is due to this
fact of the event the tourism sector is flourish as the people are availing travelling for many
purposes. Travelling is not only destined with the leisure activity but it is also related to the
business tours that the people go for. The tourism and the travelling sectors are inter related it
is because it is with the availability of the transportation facilities such as the airplane service,
water transport services and the road transport services the travelling becomes more easy for
the people. On the other hand, now days the accessibility of the transport has become so easy
that people could book their tickets online and make their destination travel possible (Xiang,
Magnini and Fesenmaier, 2015). Moreover, the facilities that the hospitality sector provides
further enhance the accessibility of the travelling for the people it is because the tourist is

very keen to travel the places. It is with availability of proper transport facilities and the fair
of the transport makes the tourist avail the transport for their travelling purpose. On the other
hand, as the world is running very fast so as the sectors, therefore, every now and then the
business meetings and conferences are being held in different part of the world. Hence, in
very less time the travelling could be made possible with the availability of the airplane
service that cause the people to easily avail a flight for a successful business conference or
meeting they want to attend. Thus, in a matter of hours the whole process completes and it
could be easily stated that the travelling and tourism is inter related to each other.
Interrelationship between tourism and travel sector
The three sectors that are hospitality sectors, the travel sector and the tourism sector are
interrelated. It is because the travel sector makes it possible to reach the different destination
that the tourists want to visit. The air transport, the water transport and the road transport are
the key linkage between the places that the tourist wants to visit for their business as well as
for their personal usage. on the other hand, the increase in the travelling services by the
transportation sector have helped the tourism industry to flourish with bright colors it is
because in very less time the people could easily reach their destination for their purpose to
be fulfilled. Moreover, it is with the accessible transport facilities being available for the
tourist the tourism industry is flourishing it are because even the toughest destination could
be reached by the people through proper transport facilities being available (Cook, Marqua
and Yale, 2014). This further enables the tourist destination to become more popular and
more and more people get to know about the new places that help the tourism industry to
flourish. Along with that the other thing that further interrelates is the hospitality sector that
includes the lodging and the food service. Therefore, the people after reaching a certain
destination has to stay at a specific place, it is where the hospitality sector play its part. The
services that the hospitality sector provides to its customers are very much needed for the
customers to make their journey more comfortable and soothing. Therefore, the dining
facility and the lodging facility helps the tourist to retain at a place for a longer period that
helps the tourism industry to further make its enhancement in the market place. It is with
proper facilities and services being provided by the hospitality sector to its customers help the
hospitality sector to gain its importance and make a remarkable progress in the field of travel
and tourism sector (Leung and et. al., 2013).

Task 2
2.1 analyzing the implications of integrations to the hospitality industry
Implication of the integration is the much needed thing that is required for the hospitality
industry to make its progress in the market place. The integrations involve the improvement
in the quality of the services that the respected hospitality sector provides. It further includes
the increase in the standardization of the organization such that it could enhance its share in
the market. The branding and the pricing of the organization is marked with the integration of
the industry. Moreover, the control of the market along with the increase of globalization of
the industry is also related to the integration of the industry. All these factors are associated
with the integration of the respected industry that would further enable the industry to make
excessive progress in the market for its growth and reputation to be achieved in less time
(Smith and Puczkó, 2014).
For examples, the hospitality industry such as the hotels that were one star had progressed
with the name and the fame and had managed to gain its reputation in the market. The
Marriot hotel of UK is one of such an example. The improvement in the service quality of the
hospitality sector helps the hospitality sector to gain its importance. It is because the proper
service quality makes the organization gain the loyalty of the customers by providing them
with the satisfactory service. Moreover, the several types of facilities that the organization
provides to their customers that includes the banquet service, the bar facilities, the luxury
lodging and the dining facilities. On the other hand, the pool facilities and the gaming
facilities act as token for the luxury comfort to be available to the customers. Moreover, it is
with all these things the branding of the sector also takes place. The branding of the sector
helps individual to make them aware about the facilities and other services provided by firm
in regard to influence customer satisfaction. It also results in facilitating business in regard to
influence more and more consumers to utilise the services provided by firm.
On the other hand, it is with the maximization of the branding of the organization, it would
further help the organization to maximize its standard and the reputation in the market such
that it would enhance the organization to make more and more competitive advantage. This
would also make the organization gain a lot of profit percentage for its future growth that

organization with massive name and fame that would build up the reputation of the business
enterprise. On the other hand, the satisfactory service further enable the hospitality sector to
gain the loyalty of the customers and earn a reputation in the market place. It is further
observed that the good services further add value to the hospitality service as it helps to
increase the branding of the service and the hospitality sector in the market place (Law and
et. al., 2015).
2.2 discussion of hospitality business being affected due to integration
The integration in the hospitality business helps to bring about a new standardize form
of the hospitality sector for the customers that makes the customers satisfy its wants and
needs. On the other hand, it is with the satisfaction derived from the customers the hospitality
sector makes further growth in the market it is because it enables the sector to gain the loyalty
of the customers (Marques and Santos, 2016). On the other hand, it further enables the sector
to improve its facilities and the services that it provides to its customers. The improvement in
the service makes the sector make a remarkable progress in the market place that helps the
organization to expand its business in global as well as in the local market. The more the
sector expands its business the more branding of the organizations would takes place.
It is further observed that the integrations in the industry cause the organization to make
further growth opportunities that would make assurance for the sector to become more
branded in the market place. The more the branding of the sector happen more the tourist are
keener to avail the services of the hospitality sector. For example, taking the example of the
food industry, it is with the enhancement of the taste and the preference of the people the
food industry has flourished rapidly.
Integration is considered as an crucial task that helps in developing hospitality business and
enhance travel and tourism sector helps business to interconnet different products or services
so that they can provide required products or services and not outsource the product or
service to other businesses. Therefore, it is essential fo hospitality and travel and tourism
business helps in integrating with each other so that operations of firm could be carried out
and execute the goals together. It involves two different tyopes of integration that needs to be
followed by Marriott hotel such as vertical and horizontal integration. Vertical integratuion
assesses that Marriott undertakes process of merger through which hotel could collaborate
with other similar service provider in regard to provide certain unique services on the demand

of consumers that are not available within hotel. It would benefit firm in terms of enhancing
its sales and profitability (Lu and Stepchenkova, 2015). Further, another type of integration is
horizontal integration and thus it is essential for business to obtain another similar firm in
order to expand its operations and enhance market share. Marriott purchases some insolvent
hotel and then involve that within firm in regard to expand the busness functions. Thus,
integration positively impacts upon businesses in terms of improving market share and
maximize cost and profitability.
The advancement in the several recopies and the awareness of the different cousins of the
world the advancement is seen in a maximized manner in the food sector of the hospitality
industry (Neuhofer, Buhalis and Ladkin, 2015). The customers are keener to get the
availability of the continental food, the Thai food and the cultural food of several destination
sites. It is the food and the culture of the place that further establishes the industry and makes
a dignified progress in the market. The establishment of the café’s is another progress that is
seen across the world in the food industry of the hospitality sector. It is because the different
cookies, cakes and the different aromas coffee are available for the customers that light their
evening and the chat with their friends over a cup of coffee. The café’s presents a beautiful
environment for the customers to spend their quality time with their friends. On the other
hand, the availability of several different types of dinning and restaurants provides leisure
effect for the customers to avail the services. It is with the improvement in the service quality
and the serving of the food quality the industry makes a brilliant success in the hospitality
sector (Phillips and Moutinho, 2014). This further cause the industry to make profit from the
service and the integration that it makes in this business sphere. Moreover, it also facilitates
the industry to get maximum competitive advantage from the progress of the business in the
food sector that because the customers to be more delighted with the leisure and the service
that they receive from the respected hospitality sector. On the other hand, the satisfactory
service further enable the hospitality sector to gain the loyalty of the customers and earn a
reputation in the market place.
