Continental bed and breakfast

Article Abstract:

There are many significant factors currently affecting the European hotel market, according to speakers at the recent eighth Annual European Hotel Industry Investment Conference. These include labour costs, exchange rate movements, political developments and market maturity. There are difficult conditions for hotel operators in France and Germany, but the situation is more positive in the UK, where the problems created by the recession are now being overcome.

Finding your vocation

Article Abstract:

A study of the development of national vocational qualifications (NVQs) in the leisure industry has revealed limited uptake. About 70 companies contributed to the survey. Forty-one per cent considered NVQs expensive and inferior to established training programmes. However, 31% have introduced pilot programmes and 24% were planning implementation. The survey demonstrated that the National Training targets are unlikely to be achieved by 1996.
