Abstract
This article puts forward two broad theories, based on skill requirements, of why and how standards in British hotels may be falling. The structure of the labour market is the focus of one theory, and hotel culture and the ‘European tradition’, of the other: A main conclusion is that any prolonged decline in hotel standards will be difficult to reverse, so some actions to prevent its prolongation are suggested.
