THE TRUTH OF TOURISM INDUSTRY!

I am from Central part of NEPAL and i came United Kingdom at end of 2009 for my heigher study.
After being unemployed for couple of months i got job in tourism industry i.e. HOTEL.SINCE, that time i am continuesly working as cleaner on the very hotel.As i grew old in my work,i start thinking different stakeholders of hotel industry i.e. mangment, staffs,government,outbound and unbound agents,customers and many more.
i am writing and sharing all my ideas to all of you to let u know the importance of tourism for nation development or say the contribution made my single 3 star (about 600 rooms) hotel for generation of employment and tax to government.As we all know that, there are diffirent departments in hotel and i work in paricular department among them which needs large manpower to menatain standard of hotel and to come up with day to day functuning i.e. housekeeping department.

Normally according to my knowledge point,most of the small and chain hotles in united kingdom recruit people from other agency (there is a defined and signed contract between hotel managemnt and recruitment agency),the agency run the different department among them housekeeping is common which needs very smart staffs to carry out day to day functuning.In housekeeping dept, there are around 120 staffs working as chain and team, like wise there are 50 staffs in restaurants,50 staffs in bar,50 staffs in kitchen and around 50 staffs in front office.
The all staffs are well paid on piece rate system i.e hourly basis except some are permanent top level staffs.Here around 320 get direct employment from hotel. we pay tax to government from our earnings.Different travel agent, airlines industry and supplier gets their commision on agreed basis which means they are indirectly employed.There is good transport system,PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND CAB SYSTEM which gives employment to drivers and owners of vehicles when people check in and check out from hotel.

When guest check in, they pay for rooms,paid tax to government,eat food which are made in restaurant,enjoy other facilities of hotel and pay money.Most of the months are fully booked and the reasion is there is law and order in country,no strikes,no loadseading and no any obstaacles in day to day functuning.

NOW i am writing in details why why Great Bratain is developed ? but why not the small country NEPAL?
The smart answer anybody can reply is there is law and order in UK,GOOD promotion of tourism destination, good facilities for visitors whearas in context of NEPAL,there is no peace and order,instable government,poor promotion of new destination,poor facilities to visitiors,problem of Loadseading,strikes and others.
This is just a sample article,there are thousands of examples we need to learn from big and developed countries so that we can contribute little for national development.
