An Introduction to Hotel Industry 1 The word hotel is derived from the Latin word hospitale. It means a rented place for sleeping. Webster defines a hotel as a building or institution providing lodging, meals, and service for the public. So a hotel is a building for public accommodation that furnishes lodging and usually provides meals, beverages, and many personal services. Hotels often provide entertainment, rooms for meetings, banquets, or balls; shops of various kinds; commodious lobbies; and cafes, bars, and restaurants. 6. Topics for discussion. (1) What do you think of the services and facilities in various hotels in China? (2) If you have a chance to travel, which hotel do you prefer best? Why? 参考译文 旅馆业简介 6 由于现在是旅游的黄金时代，每年都有许多现代化的宾馆在大城市和世界各地的旅游胜地得以建造。除此之外，在你参观的每一个城市里都有引以为豪的许多历史悠久的宾馆。在世界各地任何一个国家，任何一个人口超过10,000的城市以及在居民人口500人以下的地方也有旅馆是很寻常的。难怪酒店经营产业在世界上各大产业排名中名列前茅。虽然没有可靠的统计数字，但是综览美国该领域的现状，展现了该行业巍巍壮观的景象。 参考译文 旅馆业简介 7 在美国，旅馆经营业在服务业中排名第七，仅次于公共交通和餐饮经营之后。美国大约有22,100家宾馆，1百万个房间。美国宾馆一夜可同时容纳二百多万人，为一百多万人提供就餐。目前宾馆每年的总收入大约在30亿美元，而每年支付的薪水大约是10亿美元。 参考译文 旅馆业简介 8 宾馆提供更多的综合性服务需要其他部门的参与。豪华度假酒店需雇佣人员组织指导各种娱乐活动，大城市的旅馆常有独立的会议部门以接待处理大型会议和其它团体会议的业务。如果旅馆还有附属商店、经营场地或车库等配套设施还需雇佣额外的员工。 汽车旅馆 “motel” 一词是汽车旅馆的意思，往往驾车旅游的人入住此类旅馆。汽车旅馆都有广阔的停车空间。他们通常位于远离市中心的主干道旁，费用比一般旅馆便宜，每人每天住宿洗澡只收10-15美元。在大城市内或靠近城市的汽车旅馆会更贵些，而在小城市的价格会低一些。因为汽车旅馆往往位于远离市中心的地方，如果没有车，也不靠近公共汽车站或火车站，那么可能会很不方便。虽然在比较繁忙的地区入住汽车旅馆需提前预订，但在人口稀少的地方并不总是这样。汽车旅馆既方便又经济，所以就不难理解为
