(Course Code & Description)
Date: ___________________________

The title of the book/ article I have read is:

AUTHOR’S LOGIC: The author is conveying the message/idea of:

Example: “Green” branding of businesses has gone too far and no longer carries the same sort of impact it once did. Today, so many people are
concerned with the environment that many businesses try to represent themselves as being “green.” They want to have a reputation for being
environmentally conscious.

her, and the stories take place in both America and Nigeria, centering around themes of cultural ties,
immigration and homeland, family, and religion.

STUDENT’S LOGIC: Provides learners with an opportunity to reflect and think about how they actually solve problems
and how a particular set of problem solving strategies is appropriate for achieving their goal. What is to be accomplished/learned?

series of intimate portraits of women of color as they move through a world filled with sexual and racial
violence.

VISION: MAN OF GOD – VIR ENIM DEI. “A leading transformational leadership institution with a unique Gabrielian
Culture of Discipline, Socially Responsible, Interdependent, Functionally Productive, Godly Individuals and reaching the marginalized

In aligning to the Vision and Mission of the College, I can apply what I have learned from my readings by:
Example: Being more aware about eco-friendly practices you can adopt at home so that we can make a positive difference as socially responsible graduates.
Just encourage me even if it is hard for me to do because it is for my future and the future of my family it is
not always there to be discourage if I always carry my weakness, I will not get to the future I want to do I
just do everything I want even it’s difficult because god is here to guide me Leadership is the art of
motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal.

I learned in our prayer that Offer prayers of Thanksgiving in the midst of your struggles.

My action today is to be a good listener

our lessons for today, I have learned about:

Facilities Planning

The process of designing the layout and location congruence on the activities of people, equipment and

furniture to achieved a desired goal – safety and quality

Hotel design:

- involves the planning, drafting, design and development of hotels.

-The concept of hotel design is rooted in traditions of hospitality to travelers dating back to ancient times,

-and the development of many diverse types of hotels has occurred in many cultures. For example, the advent of

rail travel in the early 1900s led to the planning, design and development of hotels near railroad stations that

catered to rail travellers.

Classification of Lodging Establishment

1. Size - Or number of rooms

Under 200 rooms

200 to 399 rooms

400 to 700 rooms

More than 700 rooms

The above categories enable hotels of similar size to compare operating procedures and statistical results.

2. Target Markets - can be classified according to the markets they attempt to attract their guests.

Business Hotels: These hotels are the largest group of hotel types and they primarily cater to business travelers

and usually located in downtown or business districts.

Airport Hotels: These types of hotels typically target business clientele, airline passengers with overnight

travel layovers or canceled flights and airline crews or staff.

Suite Hotels: These kinds of hotels are the latest trend and the fastest-growing segments of the hotel industry.

Such hotels have a living room and a separate bedroom. Professionals such as

Accountants, lawyers, businessmen and executives find suite hotels particularly attractive as they can work and

also entertain in an area beside the bedroom.

Extended Stay Hotels: are somewhat similar to suite hotels, but usually offers kitchen amenities in the room.

These kind of hotels are for long-stayers who want to stay more than a week and does not

want to spend on hotel facilities.

Serviced Apartments: Serviced Apartment / Residential hotels provide long-term or permanent

accommodation for Guest.

Resort Hotels: Resort hotels are usually located in the mountains, on an island, or in some other exotic

locations away from cities.

Bed and Breakfast / Homestays: These are houses with rooms converted into overnight facilities, this can size

up to 1 to 10 guest rooms. They are also known as 'Home Stay's'. The owner of the B&B usually stay on the

premises and is responsible for serving breakfast to the guest.

Timeshare / Vacation Rentals: Another new type or segment of the hospitality industry is the timeshare

hotels. These are sometimes referred to as " Vacation-interval" hotels. Timeshare hotels are where the guests

purchase the ownership of accommodations for a specific period. These owners may also have the unit rented

out by the management company that operates the hotel.

Casino Hotels: Hotels with gambling facilities Conference and Convention Centres: These type of hotels focus

on meeting and conferences and overnight accommodation for meeting attendees. They also provide a video

conferencing facility, audiovisual equipment, business services, flexible seating arrangements, flipchart etc.

These hotels mostly located outside the metropolitan areas and have

facilities like golf, swimming pools, tennis courts, fitness centres, spas etc.

Pension or guesthouse - These are very popular with tourists not wanting the large hotel with many facilities

they may never use but are looking for a more personal place to stay which will cost less and

have a ‘home from home feeling. City hotel are used by business travellers and tourists alike. Often

the tourists require a hotel in the centre of the city, convenient for sightseeing, not necessarily expensive,

whereas the business traveller will also need the convenient location but may need a hotel with relevant

facilities.

Motels have enjoyed an increase in their business in recent years as the increase in private car owners has

materialized. A motel is a hotel mainly for motorists and located conveniently near a major motorway.

3. Levels Of service

World-class service: These are also called luxury / Five Start hotels, they target top business executives,

entertainment celebrities, high-ranking political figures, and wealthy clientele as their primary markets. They

provide upscale restaurants and lounges, Valet, concierge services and also private dining facilities.

Mid-Range Service: Hotels offering mid-range or otherwise 3 to 4-star hotels service appeal to the largest

segment of the traveling public. This kind of hotels does not provide elaborate service and have adequate

staffing. They also provide uniformed service, food and beverage room service, in-room entertainment's and

also Wi-Fi etc.

Budget / Limited Service: These hotels provide clean, comfortable, safe, inexpensive rooms and meet the basic

need of guests. Budget hotels appeal primarily to budget-minded travellers who want a room with minimum

services and amenities required for a comfortable stay, without unnecessary paying additional cost for costly

services.

4. Ownership and Affiliations

Independent / Single Owner Hotels: They do not have identifiable ownership or management affiliation with

other properties. An example of the same would be family owned and operated hotel that is not following any

corporate policies or procedures.

Chain hotels: Hotels that are part of a hotel chain and these kinds of ownership usually imposes certain

minimum standards, rules, policies and procedures to restrict affiliate activities. In general the more centralized

the organization the stronger the control over the individual property.
