Researchjournal#2b

The topic that i chose is a bit un-clear at the moment, however i have some sort of idea of what i would like to do. I have chose to research the issue of pets in the hospitality industry. I have chose this because i have decided to be a hospitality major, and this is a big issue in the industry. Many people think that it is un sanitary to have their dog spot join them for dinner, however there are just as many people that feel like spot is a part of the family and should be treated as though.

I plan to base a lot of my research on interviews with people and guests in the service industry. I will base these interviews in both hotels and restaurants. It is already very clear to me that a lot of places frown upon this topic, but my goal is to go in depth and find out all the reasons people think pets should be barred from service enviorments. I am curious to find out which side generates a better logic for this topic. I also plan to investigate the way this issue is handled in different countries.

The things that i am most curious to investigate are the health hazards that may come into play while spot is at the table dining with the family. I will be finding out what types of policy's hotels have that accept dogs with open arms. It is very interesting to me to see how the other guests fell about having a pet in the facility causing a ruckus. This research will send me in several different directions I'm sure, but hopefully the end result will let me know weather it is a good idea to have our furry friends joining us on our time away from home.
