Features: In recent years, the total number of books and teaching materials published in China on hotel-related topics has been increasing annually. However, the hotel industry in China has been experiencing losses at a growing rate each year. Whether there is a certain inevitable connection between the two remains unknown. However, it is an undeniable fact that the development of the hotel industry requires high-level theoretical guidance. The logical structure of this book has been carefully refined over a long period, and to date, it remains a well-structured textbook. The book is divided into eleven chapters, with the first four chapters primarily discussing the of hotels as businesses, their operating environment and strategy, as well as the operating forms and organizational arrangements of hotels under different ownership systems. Chapters five to nine elaborate on the main areas of hotel operations, some of which present novel perspectives that may require further in-depth research and refinement, but they reflect our relentless pursuit. The last two chapters are on hotel capital operations.
