Task:

It might be suggested that ‘commercial' hospitality is just an extension of hospitality in the home--do you agree? Discuss, using both academic literature and real world examples.

For this assignment you need to be thinking about what ‘home' means, not just to you but others. You might begin by thinking about the following questions.

How do ideas of home influence where and how, and to where, tourists travel? How might the tourist's search for ‘authenticity' or safety influence accommodation choice? How and why might contemporary from of commercial accommodation (for example those in the sharing economy) provide opportunities for tourists searching for so called ‘meaningful' experiences? How might traditional accommodation providers be re-imaging their products and experiences to compete with ‘new' forms of commercial accommodation?
