“…The Budapest case also stresses the need to extend the study of hospitality and notions of the "hospitable city" (Bell, 2007a(Bell, , 2007b) through a critical appraisal of how cultural, material and social forces and agencies interact to produce hybrid forms of hospitality. This reflects and adds weight to the growing calls for research on hospitality to consider how broader sets of factors interact to form hospitality spaces and hospitable experiences (Lashley et al, 2007;Lugosi, 2008Lugosi, , 2009. Finally, recognising the central role of particular kinds of hospitality venue in the broader creative ecologies of cities, the paper suggests the need to bring together conceptual tools from hospitality studies with those of urban geography, in order to explore the complexity of the relationship between hospitality and regeneration.…”

“…This blurring of boundaries between hospitality and culture is particularly important here for a number of reasons. Firstly, the view that hospitality can be reduced to the provision of food, drink and shelter has come under increasing criticism (Lashley et al, 2007;Lugosi, 2008Lugosi, , 2009). Food and drink may be provided with minimal or no provider-customer interaction, although the consumer experience is often assured because of extensive interactions between staff and customers and between consumers.…”

Hospitality, Culture and Regeneration: Urban Decay, Entrepreneurship and the ‘Ruin’ Bars of Budapest

2010

This paper considers the relationships between hospitality, culture and urban regeneration through an examination of rom (ruin) venues, which operate in dilapidated buildings in Budapest, Hungary. The paper reviews previous work on culture and urban regeneration in order to locate the role of hospitality within emerging debates. It subsequently interrogates the evolution of the rom phenomenon and demonstrates how, in this context, hospitality thrives because of social and physical decay in urban locations, how operators and entrepreneurs exploit conflicts among various actors involved in regeneration, and how hospitality may be mobilised purposefully in the regeneration process. The paper demonstrates how networked entrepreneurship maintains these operations and how various forms of cultural production are entangled and mobilised in the venues' hospitality propositions.

“…In the case of New Zealand, much can be learned from looking to the history of employment in the hospitality sector. A historical and critical perspective on hospitality employment answers long held calls for a greater focus on this type of research (Baum, 2015;Baum, Kralj, Robinson, & Solnet, 2016;Ladkin, 2011;Lashley, Lynch, & Morrison, 2006;Lashley & Morrison, 2000;McIntosh & Harris, 2012;Solnet, Baum, Robinson, & Lockstone-Binney, 2015;Walton, 2012). This paper aims to provide a partial answer to the critique that "the body of [hospitality research] work fails to position itself within the wider social, political and economic context" (Baum et al, 2016, p. 2).…”

Too close to servility? Why is hospitality in New Zealand still a ‘Cinderella’ industry?

Something strange is going on in New Zealand’s hospitality industry. While the sector is booming (with tourism bringing in 34.7 billion dollars in 2016 and driving record growth in hospitality jobs and hotel building), New Zealanders seem to remain unconvinced about the legitimacy of hospitality as industry and as a career choice. At a time when there are thousands of new jobs being created in hospitality, why does it remain a ‘dummy subject’ in schools? Why do so many parents ‘get the hint’ and hope their kids do anything other than hospitality work? In the 1950s the New Zealand tourism sector was known as the ‘Cinderella of industries’, underfunded, of ‘doubtful value’ and home to poor quality jobs. This paper argues that the New Zealand hospitality is the modern Cinderella industry and is burdened by three historical legacies, which are affecting our ability to maximize the current opportunities in hospitality, and threaten a sustainable future for the sector: distrust, disdain and the legacy of neo-liberal reform.

“…Several commentators have highlighted the growing methodological and conceptual complexity of emerging work (Pizam, 2008;Rivera and Upchurch, 2008), while others have pointed to the broadening scope and theoretical diversity of contemporary research (Jones, 2004;Lashley, 2008a;Lashley et al, 2007a;Morrison, 2002). The development of diverse approaches to hospitality management research has led several commentators to distinguish between traditional and emerging forms (Jones, 2004;Lashley, 2008aLashley, , 2008bLashley et al, 2007b). Advocates of different approaches are sometimes conceived as being members of disparate academic 'tribes' (Becher and Trowler, 2001), with incompatible norms, methods and approaches (Jones and Lockwood, 2008, Slattery, 1985.…”
