CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Hotel business of what could be described as small scale hotel business started as a result of movement of people from one place or town to another. These movement are categorized in:-
- Movement which one locality or town for example going to work from one’s house within the same city or from one’s city to another.
- Movement from one town to another like in the case of Ogui migration where there is an exodus of the people from rural area to the developed Ogui area. In this case, people concerned to go out for greener pasture like looking for better jobs and business.
- Movement from one country to another for wither business, study or search for better jobs.
- Movement to places of interest like – the Olumo Rocks in Abeokuta or Yoruba game reserve.
In 7course of these movement, it has not been easy for people to carry along the required quantity of food and drinks that would last them the length of time they would stay outside their homes. The instructive desire to help in feeding of these group of travelers brought about the business of hotels.
Before the 15th century, what used to be called inns existed in Europe. These were place where travelers called spend a night or two or even more and were served food and drinks at a cost. The inns were merely remedy by inn-keepers between 1750-1850, the year of industrial revolution, the business of hotels became a common thing all over Europe.
In Nigeria, the business is beleected to have started with the arrival of Europeans into the country. Before the Europeans, all travelers woe only cafered for by their hoppetabeo natures. Travelers who come to peace mission were virtually carried for by their hosts. These Europeans or their guide had to make do with the local food which brought about some kind of exchange process.
As this process continued, it dawned on the local people that food could be prepared and sold to these travelers who moved from one place to another. This was the early shape of hotels unfit it grew to its present standard which was made possible by the attendant development of the country by the presence of the Europeans.
However, the small scale business may not be said to have attained its height in hotel management and its operations due to the difference in tradition and cactane in Nigeria. The different ethnic groups or race have their favante dishes some of these dishes are beginning to gain national acceptances, while others are steel confined to their local use by the people concerned. For instance garri is more or less a national food because majority of Nigerian do eat it. One the other hand, “Tuoo” for instance still remain the food for the Northern part of the country.
Hotels plays very important role in the economic activities of the country because almost all business endeavour depends on hotel foundation eats across feeding the work force of the economy.
Besides the fact remains that a good number of hotels in Nigeria needs better operations and management. These observation daily considers the cactaral background and ethnic difference in the country, the problems and prospects of operating and managing hotels in Nigeria therefore are what this research is all about. In order to accomplish this study some hotel in Ogui Enugu has been selected as a case study.
