Until now, visitors’ environmental behavior at heritage sites has not been sufficiently examined. It has been assumed that individuals with higher levels of attachment to a particular place were more likely to protect this place. Therefore, the current research aims at examining the influence of place attachment on pro-environmental behavior of tourists at the district of Old Cairo. This study considered place attachment as a multidimensional construct including place dependence, place identity, place affect and place social bonding. A structured questionnaire has been used to collect the primary data from a sample of 400 local and foreign visitors at Old Cairo. The findings indicated that place attachment was positively correlated with the pro-environmental behavior of visitors. Practical findings proved also a positive and significant effect of all place attachment sub constructs on proenvironmental behavior at Old Cairo. Finally, this research concludes by discussing managerial implications, along with suggestions for future research.","PeriodicalId":153184,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Journal Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117068531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas containment of the communist menace and forming intra-regional coalitions were the focal points of the US foreign policy in the Middle East, eliminating Western influence and establishing Egypt as the dominant actor in the Arab world directed Nasser’s policy. This conflict of interests came to a head in the aftermath of the Suez Crisis and the declaration of Eisenhower Doctrine. However, by the beginning of 1958, the State Department realized that its efforts to halt Nasser’s growing power in the Arab world had failed and that the only way they could achieve their objectives in the region was by reestablishing a working relationship with Nasser and his newly-formed United Arab Republic.

One method of preparing employees to business world complexity could be incorporating simulation training into their training. Simulation training is defined as a micro world where employees can participate through experiments, testing strategies, and doing their best for achieving the better understanding of the aspects of the real world. This paper aims to investigate the effects of using simulation training on hotel frontoffice employees’ performance through using data gathered from fivestar hotels. The study employed a self administered questionnaire consisted of 30 items. The items are divided into seven groups. These groups are categorized for seven variables: knowledge application (KA), employees experience (EE), teamwork (TW), employees interest (EI), problemsolving (PS), decision making (DM) and job performance (JP). The second section asked employees for profiling information (e.g., gender and age). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied to test a hypothesized model. Findings reflected that simulation training has positive effects on employee performance in fivestar hotels.","PeriodicalId":153184,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Journal Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management","volume":"409 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122803322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
