Tourism is a major activity of considerable economic importance. The increasing significance of Tourism as source of income and employment has been attracting attention on the part of governments, regional and local authorities.
The 21st century will bring about rapidly changing environment of international Tourism. Therefore some major countries have been playing active role for the development of their Tourism industries. But Korea has not recognized well the importance of Tourism and the financial supports for the Tourism industries from the government are still too small compared with other industries.
Most foreign Tourists who were stayed in deluxe hotels in Korea indicate that they are not satisfied with hotel services, especially employee's services. They think of that Korea's hotel services are still lower than those of international standards.
Like most service industries, hotel is labor intensive, that is, it employs a high proportion of people in comparison to the number that it serves. The range of jobs is also very wide, from unskilled, like a dishwasher in a restaurant, to semi-skilled, like a waiter or chamber-maid, to skilled, like receptionist of concierge. Therefore it is very important that the hotel management should provide them with a training program such as foreign languages' skill, kindness exercise and etc.
At this point, the disputant wanted to study the present training program, It turned out to be some differences not only their sexes and academic backgrounds about the satisfaction of training facilities but also their number of transferred jobs and academic backgrounds about a satisfaction of training program, an improvement for the service quality, self-attitude, training facilities and a special subject of job.
As a result, Service quality of the employee has been so improved through the effective training programs including an overseas' study and training trip, a camp training program, liberal arts' program and etc.
With this, the improvement of hotel man power services has been greatly contributed to the development of a hotel. So hotel management should prepare a variety of training program for their employees and also continue the program to meet their employees and clients satisfaction
Finally I acknowledge myself that I had studied only the hotels in Kyongju area with lack of my time and materials which had not been made a sufficient analysis, and futhermore I regret to say that I had mostly emphasized on the training program for improving employees' service. For future study, I sincerely hope that the improvement of man power service of tourist Hotels will be more varied and specified.
