Abstract

Describes the findings of a positivistic comparative study which was undertaken in three different European countries in order to assess the perceptions of British/Irish and Spanish hotel managers. Relates managers' opinions to some key factors the authors perceive as contributing to the future development of the hotel sector. Among the issues analysed were variables relating to: support policies provided by tourist boards (e.g. in the marketing area, tax exemptions, financing, staff subsidies, etc.); the development of co-operative management programmes; and training policies and concern for the protection of the natural environment.
