Hospitable Tourism Experiences – an alternative business model
Hospitality as a commercial phenomenon is not well understood and the failure
to understand the cultural, social and philosophical dimensions of hospitality and

industry is actually inhospitable.
Furthermore, the adoption of traditional business models, particularly the services
model, has compounded this degradation of commercial hospitality.
