With the growth of tourism worldwide, there will be increasing requirements of hotels, transport, development of infrastructure of tourist places and other facilities.
Therefore, it is necessary that tourism and hotel industry becomes increasingly cost effective.
What role Industrial Engineering tools and techniques can play in increasing cost effectiveness of tourism and hotel industry?
Industrial engineers can help in terms of:
1. Designing Environment friendly hotel. That will accommodate more guest, energy efficient and affordable.
2. Arrangement and management of solid waste.
3. Designing Recreation facility such as chair left, ponds, lack and other
4. Information technology for better communication
5. Designing roads and walk-ways
6. Other area specific
Cost is always associated with the use of resources. This implies that IE tools will be required to determine the optimal allocation of resources in these businesses. Thus, simulation models, optimization models, system dynamics models, predictive models, among other will be extensively used to manage these businesses. However, the choice of any of these models will depend on the issue that is been addressed and the expertise of an IE professional.
Thanks for bring up this interesting question.
When there is development in a community, it cuts across every areas of life. Every sectors need to take the advantages and maximize the opportunity. Modern Industrial engineering tools and techniques are required and important to cope with increasing demands for new innovation and development. Tourism demands a good road, standard relaxation centres, reliable security system, different means of transport and a lots more. All these required modern techniques and tools in order to meet up with the development.

Dear sir,
question created interest to answer..
i would like to give some of my my views..
1.affordability , most of the people are not aware of available options.
2.planning,booking tickets are very challenging for most of the people it
should be easier to execute
3.sharing of experiences from the people will help to make decisions
quicker
thanks for discussions on this topic..
Dear Shiva Kumar,

Hello,
one of interesting applications in tourism could text mining, including various NLP techniques (e.g. NERC, keyword extracstion, opinion mining, SNA analysis, etc.) to detect customer needs.

First, thanks a lot for very interesting and important question. My answer is below. Shortly - based on statistics (rates and occupancy) we can predict occupancy depending on rates and so to select optimal values of rates.
Detailes:
Nowadays, due to the increase of Websites to online hotel booking, hotel managers need to change continuously the room prices in order to be competitive with other competition hotels. In this case, the aim consists to predict the precise room price to obtain maximum profit in each moment.
The specificity of a hotel is that if the opportunity to sell a room is missed, it is lost forever. Hotels do everything possible to fill the availability in advance and as early as possible.
One of the most important parts of such researches is the capacity to forecast the future hotel demand. The basic idea was to use computing techniques based on Machine Learning to develop models useful to predict future room bookings (occupancy) for each calendar day, by means of the use of the hotel historical reservation data and the characteristics of each day (season, month, day of the week, events, etc.), combined with rooms value.
Dear Dr Sergey,
Thank you very much for sharing your detailed response.
