CHAPTER II: REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND
STUDIES
I. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
Tourism is defined as the activities of persons identified as visitors. A visitor is
someone who is making a visit to a main destination outside his/her usual environment
for less than a year for any main purpose including holidays, leisure and recreation,
business, health, education or other purposes. Tourism was described to be the most
efficient industry all over the world. As it contributes to the balance of payment, it also
regulates the economical rate of each country because of the rapid growth of tourism
sector in the government. Aside from that, tourism is a big help to other sectors of the
government for it assists other industry and help them grow more to present country’s
beauty and potentiality. In accordance to this study, the researchers found other
references that will prove how good it is to take the best and more suitable profession for
everyone who are acquiring a successful career path for the future which also can be
tourism course that possesses good practice of hospitality and more advance career
platform, but with different factors to be consider and to look in to.
According to Sharma (2007), a better knowledge and characteristic is a big edge
for a student acquiring a better and more advance career platforms. This study includes
9
Dasmariñas Campus
three (3) guidelines which is the personality, challenges and recognition, or in other
words it is the interpersonal attitude of an individual that is functioning at its own
perception. Sharma is explaining that an individual must first understand their own
persona, before they could be able to decide for their future plans. Aside from that an
individual must a line oneself to a right accordance of their own characteristics including
perseverance. It was also proven that a good attitude and perseverance of a person must
be seen throughout a journey by Mayo (2003), individual’s career choice development is
influenced by their work value. This study indicates career choice of a person influenced
by their beliefs, ideas, and core principles. In order to make a career choice you need to
explore and expand your knowledge. Aside from that, Andreea Nicoleta Stefanescu (July
2012) stated that according to most literature and previous studies, hospitality professions
affirm that the said professions is providing limited opportunities for participation and
development. The negative general perception of hospitality professions can reduce
competitiveness among (aspirant) employees. Low competitiveness may further increase
the number of unskilled employees attracted to and hired by the industry (Commission of
the European Communities, 2001). This study has revealed the situation of hospitality
professions. It just proven that not all of people has given a chance to be a successful in
tourism industry. It takes a long time, experience, and development before you can taste
the success. Lack of education and other important factors is the main reason, also we
need to consider the economic factors. This was the reason why there are employees that
unskilled. This may also affect the competitiveness of a country to build a good image
10
Dasmariñas Campus
and also the growth drivers in the journey to success. But many researchers claimed that
tourism profession is one of the best career platform especially nowadays, with its vision
to prosper itself and other governmental sectors, it boosted more and more than everyone
could expected. Kipkosgei Bitok (2014) was one of the researchers from Kenya who
proved that tourism profession gives a lot of credits to anyone that tries and at the same
time perform the whole curriculum. According to him tourism was considered to have a
better platform for income and foreign money exchange due to its vast connection
towards another form of industry that created a various operations to be offered to tourists
that led foreign visitors to invest more on particular sectors that are also related to
tourism industry. This field (tourism) open more job opportunities for the upcoming
successors or the students that are currently in the tourism track. Because of this situation,
many universities in Kenya give their best to mold students on the hospitality and tourism
management to support the rapid growth of Tourism industry of the country. This study
includes the thought that tourism became one of the most sought-after industry all over
Kenya by both foreign and local people. Because of the ability and capacity of tourism
industry to share its characteristic to other sector, it becomes more reliable for
international visitors to expand their investments on the said country (Kenya). Aside from
that, more job opportunities were given to the people of Kenya (Kenyan) that made more
universities in their country to create and raise more tourism and hospitality students to
fill the open slots given by their government that will create a more advance growth of
tourism industry on their country. Lyceum of the Philippines which is known to have a
11
Dasmariñas Campus
good source of practice for the tourism and hospitality management conducted a research
through the following researchers (Malubay, Gia Janine J.,Mercado, Kimberly Anne O
and Macasaet, Emeliza). The study stated they, making a decision in choosing course for
college is a difficult thing that every student encounter when they graduated as a senior
high school. Since it is the basis of their occupation that they intended to pursue in the
future. This study can help freshmen student who are pursuing Hospitality and Tourism
programs in LPU–L to further understand the factors can affect their future decisions.
Specifically, this paper aims to know the demographic profile of the chosen respondents,
the intention of this study is to determine if there are significant relationship in
demographic profile and the factors, that can affect in decision making of a freshmen
students. Also, we need to consider the economic factor which is the job demand that will
help you to think deeply if the Hospitality and Tourism course is the right course that
gives you a good job soon. It can be related also to age and social factors, and nationality
and economic factors that is the important factors to be considered when you want to
pursue the said course. Education is one of the important thing to be successful in life.
This study is all about information in hospitality and tourism course it focuses to the
factors affecting in decision making of freshmen student. It aims to know if there are such
significant factor in taking the said course. It also has connection to your career. It will be
accurate if your occupation is related to the course you've been graduated, and the other
factors that are significant and need to consider is economic factor, age, social and
nationality factors so it's better to deeply understand, knowledgeable and think surely
12
Dasmariñas Campus
which course that will give you a right path and right choice if you consider those things
definitely your future career will be successful.

II. SYNTHESES
Tourism is currently one of the largest and most dynamically developing sectors of
the world. Tourism has an extremely important role in the economy. In this dilemma, the
researchers strive enough to find out the effects of tourism industry and its dynamic phase
to themselves that are also in line with the said industry. This research aims to analyse
complex ideas that occurs between the tourism industry and the certain factors to be
consider, aside from that, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impacts of tourism
industry to the chosen respondents claimed by the researchers. All in all, these studies
show how well-developed tourism career is and its ability to change the perspective of
the students regarding their chosen career path. To be part of this industry is a big
opportunity and at the same time risk because of its dynamic phase in the economy.

platforms for their future stability.
14
Dasmariñas Campus
III. HYPOTHESES
In this research, there is no particular significance between the stated factors and the
rate value of the perceptions of the chosen respondents. Tourism course might have a big
advantages compared to other courses, however, this research is tested with different
coined ideas and factors to further analyse, explain and critically examine the real
perspective of every single students currently in line with the said course. Tourism is
great not just for the travellers, but also for our economy. Primarily, it is a good source of
income. To further substantiate the context of the result the researchers consolidate a null
hypothesis reflecting their assumptions for this study. The possible outcome of this
research might fall under agree that it means that tourism course is favourable for Grade
12 student as their college degree the factors that indicated in questionnaire is suited to
the capabilities and similar to the characteristics of tourism possess, the different factors
and additional questions that can put respondents mind into some ideas that must analyze
their future career plan.

N is the total number of respondents
100 is a constant value.
2. Average Weighted Mean
27
Dasmariñas Campus
This will be use to determine the assessment of the respondents with regards to
their personal profiles.
Formula: x̅ = ∑ fx
n
Where:
X̅ is the weighted mean
F is the frequency
X is the weight of each item
N is the number of cases
3. Measures of Standard Deviation and Variance
It deals with how the data are closely concentrated or how the data are being spread or
distributed.
 Sample Variance
Sum of the squared deviation of each data from the sample mean divided by n-1. It is the
inclusive form of the range that is why it is often associated with one another.
28
Dasmariñas Campus
Formula: s2 = ∑ f (x- x̅ ) / n-1

2
Where:
s2 = Sample Variance
∑ f (x- x̅ ) 2
= Summation of the squared difference of class mark and mean multiplied by
the frequency
n = number of cases
1= is a constant value
 Sample Standard Variance
The square root of the sample # that measures how far data values are from their mean.
Formula: S= √ ∑ f (x- x̅ ) 2

n= number of cases
6. Chi Square
Is commonly used for testing relationships between categorical variables. The null
hypothesis of the Chi-Square test is that no relationship exists on the categorical variables
31
Dasmariñas Campus
in the population; they are independent.
Formula: X2 = ∑ ( O-E) 2
Where:
X2 = Chi Square
∑ ( O-E) 2
= summation of the squared difference of the observed frequency and expected
frequency
E= expected frequency
*The critical value for the chi-square statistic is determined by the level of the degrees of
freedom. The degrees of freedom for the chi-square are calculated using the following
formula:
df = (c-1) (r-1)

between the observed and expected frequencies. The alternative hypothesis states that
there are significant differences between the observed and expected frequencies.

accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternative hypothesis. This implies that there is
no particular significance between the stated factors and the rate value of the perceptions
of the chosen respondents. This also proved the validity of the statement itself to the
study. It simply means that the respondents can immediately abide with all the certain
