Luxury in Hospitality: an Analysis of Online Reviews of Chinese and Indian Hotels
Luxury tourism has a multiple identity and can be
interpreted from different perspectives. However, understanding the
elements and emotions involved in a luxury tourism experience are
essential to identify guests’ expectations.
The new webatelier.net report by Laura Malinverno, Asta Adukaite and Lorenzo Cantoni, is looking at how travelers comment online about luxury Chinese and Indian hotels: “Luxury in Hospitality: an Analysis of Online Reviews of Chinese and Indian Hotels. April 2013.”
This research is based on the analysis of user-generated contents (UGC) from the Hotel Reviews Website TripAdvisor.com. Reviews written about Chinese and Indian luxury hotels, namely 5*+, were selected to explore elements and perceptions emerging from guests’ comments. 390 reviews were analyzed, 8 dimensions divided into 78 categories were identified as elements of the luxury hotels experience. Moreover, five luxury characteristics, extracted from previous research, were tested to verify this existing structure for the case of luxury tourism. Results showed that luxury concept is a dynamic and changing element in the context of luxury Chinese and Indian hotels, and that UGCs can be a useful tool to understand expectations of prospective guests, and priorities of luxury experiences.

Switzerland in the eyes of Chinese travellers
The World Tourism Organization has confirmed yesterday that China’s
expenditure on travel abroad reached US$ 102 billion in 2012, making it
the first tourism source market in the world in terms of spending.
Moreover UNWTO estimates that by 2020 there will be 100 million Chinese
tourists traveling around the world. Additionally, Switzerland is a
dream destination for 80% of Chinese youth aged 20 to 45 years. It makes
a great growth opportunity for Swiss tourism and hospitality industry.

Aula A21, campus di Lugano
Il Consigliere di Stato, direttore del Dipartimento dell'educazione, della cultura e dello sport, sarà il relatore d'onore alla prima lezione del seminario Silenzio e ascolto organizzato dalla Facoltà di scienze della comunicazione dell'USI.
Il
termine “comunicazione”, dopo il periodo dell’entusiasmo a cavallo tra
la fine degli anni Novanta e l’inizio di questo secolo, corre oggi il
rischio di venire frainteso e svilito. Una considerazione riduttiva dei
destinatari come semplici “target” (bersagli) da colpire ha infatti
frenato una più profonda riflessione sulla valenza dell’ascolto,
componente in realtà fondante dell’intero processo comunicativo. Si
tratta di ripensare la comunicazione nel suo significato autentico di
condivisione di un valore – secondo la sua etimologia: communicatio, da cum (con) e munus (valore) –, reinterpretandola quale elemento fondamentale di ogni attività umana e della vita sociale.
La
Facoltà di scienze della comunicazione dell’USI, nell’intento di
superare ogni visione riduttiva e di sottolineare l’importanza
dell’ascolto, ha organizzato un seminario – dedicato agli studenti ma
aperto al pubblico – incentrato sul tema del silenzio e dell’ascolto,
tenuto da quattro professori della Facoltà (Lorenzo Cantoni, Eddo Rigotti, Carlo Ossola, Maurizio Viroli).
