The methodology includes statistical analytical approach, purposive sample, and SPSS program to analyze data. The outstanding findings are that the traffic share of LCCs in Egypt is still modest and the absence of concept of LCTs in real practice.

To uncover this relationship, it is important to clearly describe the meanings attached to the concept of heritage, as the nature of the term is elastic with multiple definitions. In theory, this mutual relationship is well-established and analysed. However, in practical theory, this relationship needs further investigation to illustrate how heritage can be a crucial tool in maintaining the identities of local communities. Therefore, the research selected Luxor as the main case study due its cumulative heritage that definitely helps to discover how this heritage would shape and enhance the feeling of identity of the local community of Luxor.","PeriodicalId":153184,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Journal Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management","volume":"1072 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":"132819423","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}

The ancient Egyptians thrived on drinking beer, wine and fresh milk beside their usual water intake. Nowadays in Egypt, locally manufactured beer and wine still exist but their consumption is limited due to religious beliefs. Beverages in ancient Egypt were normally served during celebrations, funerals or banquets which is still the case. This article attempts to explore the journey of manufacturing and consuming Egyptian beverages through history with the aim of assessing the possible sustainability. It is concluded that the outcome of the manufacturing techniques of beer, wine and milk have considerably changed.

A gap means analysis technique used to analyze hospitality managers’ expectations and perceptions about Employment of Graduates in the hospitality industry. Industry management conceded that hospitality education modules need to reflect recent and future industry challenges and improvements to guarantee graduates are outfitted with suitable and industry-relevant competencies. Required data are collected with a self-administered questionnaire adapted from competency model of Chung-Herrera, Enz, and Lankau (2003). The questionnaire was distributed randomly among 280 managers of chain hotels in Egypt after permission from the directors of Human Recourses. Gathered data were examined using descriptive statistics and factor analysis method. The results of this study reveal that hospitality managers’ expectation is less than their perception from Employment of fresh Graduates in the hospitality industry. Furthermore, factor analysis generates five groups of competencies required by hospitality industry namely; (Transferable Competencies, Professional Competencies, Generic Competencies, Analytical skills, and Conceptual skill). The results are very important for both of hospitality education and industry as it can help to determine and prioritize the needed competencies in the field of hospitality industry. It is therefore urgent that hospitality, educational institutions need to meet the requirements of the industry in their demand for competencies needed from the graduated.","PeriodicalId":153184,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Journal Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management","volume":"306 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":"123474779","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}

Ahmed, Seham Abo-talib","doi":"10.21608/ijaf.2019.95445","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.21608/ijaf.2019.95445","url":null,"abstract":"Administrative empowerment is a critical process for the employees, as it is a contemporary concept that leads the employee to achieve high levels of collaboration, teamwork, self-confidence, creativity, independent thinking and entrepreneurship. In general, the hotel managers play an important role in empowering their employees by giving them the information and responsibilities of the work, as well as, providing an atmosphere of trust between the management levels that help employees in decision-making. Additionally, administrative empowerment gives employees more flexibility and empowerment that help them to improve their performance and loyalty to the work. The study aims to identify the extent of the implementation of administrative empowerment of the employees in five-star resorts in Hurghada City, and its impact on job satisfaction. The study sample consists of employees of the five-star resorts in Hurghada City. This research is applied in 23 resorts of Hurghada City in Egypt. It adopts a quantitative approach for achieving its aims and desired objectives. A convenient sample was selected consisting of 500 hotel staff with an average of 72.4% response rate. A questionnaire is used for collecting data which is later analysed using SPSS version 24. The results indicate that administrative empowerment and its dimensions have a positive effect on job satisfaction. According to the results, the study proves that there is a strong correlation between administrative empowerment and employee's satisfaction in the five-star resorts in Hurghada City. It also recommends that hotel resorts empower and strengthen their employees by trusting in them , giving them the authority to carry out their tasks without consulting the administration, encouraging teamwork and providing them with appropriate training programs as well as communication channels for contacting with senior management. This study contributes to identifying the concept of administrative empowerment, its importance and dimensions as well as enriching the studies on the relation between administrative empowerment and its impact on job satisfaction. However, there is a lack of studies that show the effect of administrative empowerment on job satisfaction in the resorts in Egypt, especially in Hurghada resorts.

Hotel service innovation consists of in many forms such as innovative hotel types, customization of service, use of information technology, process innovation, marketing-focused innovation, brand differentiation and pricing innovation. Guest's perceived value is classified into: emotional value, social value, price value, and quality value. Using data gathered from in-house guests in a sample of five-star hotels, the current study investigated the impact of hotel service innovation on guest's perceived value and return intention. A survey questionnaire was adopted in this study. The questionnaire consisted of 79 items divided into nine groups as innovative hotel types (IHT), customization of service (CS), use of information technology (UIT), process innovation (POI), marketing-focused innovation (MFI), brand differentiation (BD), pricing innovation (PI), guest's perceived value (GPV), and return intention (RI). The hypothesized conceptual model was tested using structural equation modelling (SEM). Findings revealed that hotel service innovation through innovative hotel types, use of information technology, process innovation, marketing-focused innovation, brand differentiation, and pricing innovation significantly impact guest's perceived value. Also, guest's perceived value significantly impacts return intention. In addition, hotel service innovation through innovative hotel types significantly impact return intention.","PeriodicalId":153184,"journal":{"name":"International Academic Journal Faculty of Tourism and Hotel Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116343805","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}
