    ASSIGNMENT NO.

    1. What is a hotel? How are hotels classified?


    A hotel is a business that offers accommodations for travelers to use as a place to stay
    while they are on vacation. The various types of hotels are categorized according to their star
    ratings; a hotel's rating is based on both the accommodations it offers and the feedback from its
    guests. According to its star rating, a hotel is divided into categories with One star being the
    lowest and Five star being the highest. The two-star hotel is referred to as Economy Class, the
    three-star hotel as Standard Class, the four-star hotel as First Class, and the five-star hotel, which
    has the highest classification, as De Luxe Class.

    2. What is a resort? What are the different kinds of resorts? How are resorts classified?
    A resort is a form of lodging that offers vacation and primarily gives the visitor delight. A
    resort mostly provides food, drinks, vistas, and swimming pools. Depending on where a resort is
    located, there are several types of resorts. Beach resorts are those that are situated on a beach,
    inland resorts are those that are found in cities, islands are those that are found in either natural
    or man-made environments, lakeside or riverside resorts are those that are situated next to lakes
    or rivers, and mountain resorts are those that are situated inside of mountains. Four
    categories—ClassAAA, ClassAA, ClassA, and Special Interest resort—are used to categorize
    resorts. The setting and amenities determine a hotel's classification.

    3. What is an apartel or serviced apartment? How does it differ from a hotel?


    Apartel, sometimes known as serviced apartments, are a type of lodging that provides a
    visitor with long-term housing. A hotel is only for short-term lodging, whereas apartels are
    businesses that specialize in long-term lodging.

    4. What is a motel? How does it differ from a hotel?


    A motel is a type of establishment that provides accessible lodging for travelers. A motel
    is distinct from a hotel since it provides less services.

    5. What is a pension house? How does it differ from a hotel?


    Private housing that is typically occupied by a wealthy family is known as a pension
    house. If the complete family wishes to enjoy a vacation, a pension house is being used. This
    hotel is utilized for vacations. A pension house may occasionally be used to host more tourists,
    offering whole-home accommodations. Because a pension house gives the entire house, a hotel
    just offers a room, a pension house differs from a hotel.
    6. Discuss the relation of the of the following laws on the enforcement of the National Building
    Code of the Philippines with respect to the operation and construction of accommodation
    establishments.

    a) Code on Sanitation of the Philippines


    According to law, there is a relationship between the Philippine National Building Code
    and the Code on Sanitation, which states that no facility may be run or opened to the public
    without a sanitary authorization from the Secretary of Health. Such places must have a sufficient
    quantity of water, restrooms, and showers, and they must always be maintained clean.
    Additionally, customers must receive fresh linens including bedsheets, pillowcases, towels, and
    napkins. As a result, the legislation mentioned in Section 104 shall be governed by the Philippine
    Code on Sanitation. General Building Requirements letter C: All facilities must be kept in a
    secure, hygienic, and functional state.

    b) Philippine Environmental Code


    Philippine Environmental Code stipulates the following: minimum requirements for
    managing trash, managing water quality, managing land usage, managing natural resources, and
    conserving them. The Philippine Environmental Code is therefore responsible for ensuring that
    environmental precautions are observed during construction in respect to the National Building
    Code of the Philippines.

    c) Fire Code of the Philippines


    According to the Philippine Fire Code, it is necessary to take fire safety precautions when
    manufacturing, storing, handling, and/or using hazardous products. Before granting permits
    and/or licenses, local governments must first conduct a fire safety examination. Welding or
    soldering, industrial baking and drying, waste disposal, pressurized/forced-draft burning
    equipment, smelting and forging, electrical arc lamp projection, refining, distillation, and solvent
    extraction are some hazardous processes that call for fire safety precautions. The Fire Code of
    the Philippines is accountable for ensuring safe building in respect to the National Building Code
    of the Philippines.

    d) Environmental Impact System


    No person, partnership, or company is permitted to carry out or manage any such
    declared environmentally significant project or region under the Environmental Impact System
    law without first obtaining an Environmental Compliance Certificate. Hotels and resorts are
    considered projects located in Environmentally Critical Areas since they are situated in areas
    designated as attractive potential tourist destinations. As a result, the relationship between the
    Philippine National Building Code and the Environmental Impact System is that the latter is in
    charge of making sure that any infrastructure construction follows the proper legal procedures in
    order to prevent unauthorized construction that would harm the environment.
    7. What is the rationale of the National Homestay Program of the Department of Tourism?
    The Department of Tourism's National Homestay Program was created with the
    following objectives in mind: the area is generally peaceful and orderly; there are local natural
    and man-made attractions; the site is easily accessible to tourists; the host community is willing
    to participate in the National Homestay Program due to the availability of transportation
    services; the area's roads are in good condition; and there are few commercial lodging options in
    the area.

    8. What is the importance of accreditation of accommodation establishments by the DOT?


    The DOT's accreditation of lodging businesses is significant because it ensures that the
    accommodations are of a high standard and that the establishments are acknowledged for their
    contributions.

    9. Enumerate, at least, five (5) examples of security measures that may be enforced inside an
    accommodation establishment.
    Registered guests, an effective ID system for all employees, a crisis management team,
    an electronic access control device, and connections with regional PNP Commands, hospitals,
    and other relevant organizations are a few examples of security measures that may be enforced
    inside a lodging establishment.

    10. Why is waste management important in an accommodation establishment?


    In order to ensure proper trash disposal and to maintain a clean, sanitary, and safe
    environment inside the organization, waste management is crucial.

    11. What are important pointers in recruiting staff for a tourist-oriented accommodation
    establishment?
    Credentials, job experience, attitude, and competencies are crucial considerations when
    hiring staff for a tourist-focused lodging establishment.

    12. What are the grounds for cancellation of a DOT accreditation of an accommodation
    establishment?
    The establishment's failure to achieve the minimum requirements, such as providing
    visitors with a safe, convenient, and enjoyable stay, is a potential reason for the DOT to revoke
    its accreditation.

    13. What is a sound hotel policy on joiners and visitors of hotel guests? What possible problems
    may happen with the non-implementation of such hotel policy?
    Visitors who are hotel guests are only permitted for a limited period of time, and they
    must show the hotel appropriate identity. If this regulation does not exist, the institution may run
    into issues because it won't be able to distinguish between guests and non-guests. Additionally,
    guests and staff may be at risk for their safety because other persons are able to enter and exit the
    hotel at will.

    14. What law justifies the need for provisions in buildings such as hotels and resorts for facilities
    for persons with disabilities? Give some examples of manifestations of these facilities.
    The law that justifies the need for provision of facilities is REPUBLIC ACTS / RA 7277
    – An Act Providing For The Rehabilitation, Self-Development And Self-Reliance Of Disabled
    Person And Their Integration Into The Mainstream Of Society And For Other Purposes. Some
    examples of manifestations of these facilities are restrooms for disabled, wheelchair ramps, etc.

    15. Enumerate facilities one would normally find in a deluxe hotel but not in other classifications
    of hotels.
    Some examples of facilities the one would normally find in a deluxe hotel are fitness
    gym, swimming pool, presidential suite, rooftop deck, restaurant and dining.

    16. Discuss ways to ensure safe water within an accommodation establishment


    For human consumption, water must be clear, odorless, and contaminant-free. Hard water
    can cause plumbing fixtures and appliances to corrode or discolor by introducing scale or
    minerals into the water. In order to concentrate on general best practices, design experts should
    collaborate with system vendors during both the design and construction phases.
