Hostels offer cheap sleeps in Miami’s fashionable South Beach
Seattle Times – May 16, 2008
(But some hostels are not members of the organization like many in Miami Beach and there is no association that keeps track of any overall industry data. )Yet hostels may not be for everyone. Jessica Lopez 21 of the Bronx N. stayed at Tropics Hotel & Hostel with her brother and a friend but said she would feel “very uncomfortable sharing a space with complete strangers” especially when she had to get dressed. But for the experienced backpacker who has seen it all hostels are a great way to travel on a budget.

But for the experienced backpacker who has seen it all hostels are a great way to travel on a budget. Xain Coslow 22 from regon has stayed in over 40 hostels in the past two years in places such as Thailand Costa Rica and San Francisco. He is now at the Jazz Hostel on South Beach. “People hear hostel and they think horror movie or they think of a cramped little space. But in reality though it’s like meeting a bunch of friends pretty much” he said. Hostels may not be for everyone.
Service sector begs for attention
Central Chronicle – May 16, 2008
Though India is the birthplace of Buddha yet large number of Buddhist pilgrims visit Thailand instead. This is so because tourist infrastructure facilities here are not well-developed –good hotel accommodation is limited taxis are rickety domestic flights seldom keep schedules foreign exchange facilities are limited and so on. In Thailand every tourist facility say a hotel or a restaurant or taxis or exchange bureaus maintain high standards compared to us. Reason enough for tourists to throng Bangkok. This is just an example of one service industry where both foreign and domestic tourists expect something much better. The service industry in the wider sense of the term would include legal advisers artistes technical consultants health clubs apart from the tourist industry financial sector like banking and insurance transport sector covering rail road air river and sea transport telecommunications medical services and so on. It is time that we pay attention to the expansion of this industry as it will serve the wider purpose of creating more jobs as well as earning more foreign exchange.
