Quality of Services in Hospitality and Tourism

Qualitative research method has been chosen for the accumulation of data for this research program. In the qualitative research method, exploratory research design will be applied. For the purpose of gaining clarity regarding the different aspects of the research program, this research design is used (Acaps, 2012). This research design will help in providing a clear view of the issues related to the research topic in a better manner (Saunders, 2011). Qualitative data will be assembled with the help of primary and secondary sources. Qualitative research method will ensure the accumulation of quality data for the research.

Sampling method: A sampling method has been chosen for the analysis of the data in an effective manner. Data collected will be in large quantity and time available for the analysis of the data is less. For overcoming these limitations, random sampling approach has been chosen. Random sampling technique is an effective approach which ensures the selection of the sample in a fair manner by providing equal opportunity to every sample of the population (Ibrahim Al-Omari, 2014). Random sampling will ensure that the samples are selected in a fair manner and the quality of the research not getting affected.

Sample size: primary data will be accumulated with the help of a questionnaire. The questionnaire will be provided to 20 respondents who are working in the hospitality and tourism industry. This data will help in the collection of primary data. Secondary data will be accumulated with the help of internet sources such as websites, articles, journals and other internet sources.

Data assembling is an important aspect of every research on which quality the research is based on. Information will be accumulated with the use of primary and secondary methods. Primary and secondary data will be accumulated for fulfilling the need of data of the research. Specific information will be assembled regarding the research program for meeting the objectives of the research. Information will be accumulated with the help of internet sources such as websites, journals, articles and research works (Gorard, 2013). Information gathered with the help of these sources helps in developing knowledge regarding the research topic. Data has to be collected for the analysis of the relationship shared between the hospitality jobs and tourism.

Secondary data source: Secondary source helps in the collection of the second-hand data which is collected by other researchers for their research work and used by the researcher. This data is not specifically collected but forms a base for the reliability of the research program.

Ethical considerations: ethical aspects are an essential part of every research work. Research has to be conducted by considering ethical aspects. Ethical considerations help in conducting the research by adopting a fair approach and not harming the interest of any individual. Ethical aspects will have been considered for this research program are confidentiality, unbiasedness, and integrity.

Quantitative research is used for the purpose of accumulation of the numerical data for related to the research topic. This research technique is used for assembling numerical data regarding the relationship between hospitality jobs and tourism.

The research program is executed with a motive to assemble data by using different methods or approaches. Few limitations acting as a challenge for the research program are faced. These limitations can create an adverse impact on the research program. Research limitations are the hurdles in the way of research execution program. Research limitations identified in this research program are:

• Lack of access to the information or source of information.
• Availability of insufficient resources. Different resources are required for the execution of the research. These resources include human resource, finance, and
• Availability of short span of time for the execution of the research program.

Research plan has been prepared which will help in completing the different activities of the research in the time allocated to them.
