Human trafficking has been described as modern-day slavery. Its victims are exploited for labor, including commercial sex. To control their victims, traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion, including techniques such as confinement, beatings, rape, confiscation of documents, debt bondage, false offers of employment, and threats of harm to the victim or the victim's family. Positions in which v...

This paper presents an innovative application of ambient technology in the domain of tourism and leisure that aims to improve the quality of services offered by the hospitality industry. The main objective is to formulate an ambient ecosystem that observes its surroundings using non-invasive technology and adapts its behavior, in real-time, to deliver “intelligent” and personalized services to ...

In recent years, companies have integrated their customer relationship management (CRM) and knowledge management (KM) efforts because they realize that KM plays a key role in CRM success. Both knowledge management (KM) and customer relationship management emphasize the allocation of resources to business supportive activities to gain competitive advantages. The aim of this study is to inves...

The description of tourism products (hotel, aviation, renta-car and holiday packages) is strongly supported by natural language expressions. Due to tourism dynamics and the extent of its offers, manual data management is not a reliable nor scalable solution: descriptions are structured in different ways, possibly comprising different languages, complementing and/or overlapping one another. This...

An empowered worker is a knowledgeable worker. Thus, the aims of this study were to examine how empowerment is perceived by the front-line hotel employees and secondly, to identify the factors affecting empowerment within the industry. Factors such as communication, coaching, participation, training and reward were examined for any significant relationship with empowerment, along with whether t...

In this paper a new metaheuristic solution is designed to solve the travelling salesperson problem with hotel selection (TSPHS). The applied solution approach is based on the V flight formation of migrating birds. Different numerical analysis confirms that it is efficient enough for solving the problem in a reasonable computational time. To check the efficiency and suitability of the solution a...

William Lane Craig’s defence of the kalam cosmological argument rests heavily on two philosophical arguments against a past-eternal universe. In this article I take issue with one of these arguments, what I call the ‘Hilbert’s Hotel Argument’ – namely, that the metaphysical absurdity of an actually infinite number of things existing precludes the possibility of a beginningless past. After expla...

The matter of the classification of tourism accommodations is particularly difficult for at least two reasons:-First of all, due to the large diversity of types of tourism accommodations, a diversity that is constantly increasing;-Also, due to the large diversity of classification systems that are themselves embedded in highly different cultural and economic contexts. I will therefore try to su...

In 1924 David Hilbert conceived a paradoxical tale involving a hotel with an infinite number of rooms to illustrate some aspects of the mathematical notion of "infinity." In continuous-variable quantum mechanics we routinely make use of infinite state spaces: here we show that such a theoretical apparatus can accommodate an analog of Hilbert's hotel paradox. We devise a protocol that, mimicking...
