Introduction

The services provided to tourists by accommodation facilities are the main services in tourism activities, both in organizing individual and group travel.

The standard international classification of accommodation facilities assumes two varieties: collective accommodation facilities and individual accommodation facilities. In turn, collective accommodation facilities are divided into hotels and similar accommodation facilities; specialized accommodation facilities and other collective accommodation facilities. Hotels and similar accommodation facilities have the following features:

Consist of numbers, the number of which exceeds a certain minimum, have a single leadership;

They provide a variety of hotel services, the list of which is not limited to daily bed making, room and bathroom cleaning;

They are grouped into classes (classified) and can be graded (certified) according to the services provided, equipment available, building architecture and personnel qualifications.

The minimum occupancy of hotels and similar accommodation facilities depends on national and regional conditions and current standards and is usually 7-10 rooms.

Specialized accommodation facilities provide a minimum of services and do not necessarily consist of rooms. These institutions, in addition to providing accommodation services, provide specialized services such as treatment and rehabilitation, social services, organization of meetings and conferences, etc. The specificity of the services provided determines the classes of these accommodation facilities: sanatoriums, resorts, congress centers, various labor and recreation camps.

Other collective accommodation facilities - accommodation facilities of any type, including non-profit ones, providing a minimum amount of services and not necessarily consisting of rooms. These may include campsites, social accommodation facilities (dormitories, holiday homes).

The authors of the domestic, so-called state system for classifying hotels and other accommodation facilities assure that a unified state system for classifying hotels has been created, as in other countries of the world, in particular, in France.

The purpose of this course work is to study and analyze the history of the emergence of accommodation enterprises, their types, development prospects, as well as the state and problems of accommodation enterprises in Russia.

The theme of the development of accommodation facilities in Russia was not chosen by chance, because. I consider it relevant, because in Russia the intensive development of the tourism industry begins, because. the country has all the necessary prerequisites, namely: recreational resources, qualified labor resources, a large number of cultural and architectural monuments of the World Heritage - for example: the city of St. Petersburg. International tourism plays an increasingly prominent role in the global economy. Accommodation is the most important element of the tourism industry. A tourist is a visitor who has received a hotel room with a bed. Since the state is currently pursuing a policy to improve the quality of tourist services, this is expressed in the reconstruction of hotels built in the 50-60s, new ones are being built, a network of educational institutions is developing that prepares qualified labor resources for the tourism industry, work is underway on advertising.

1 Characteristics of accommodation facilities

1.1 History of the development of accommodation facilities in Russia

Development of tourism in 1970-1990 happened in accordance with plans, the implementation of which was mandatory. They were developed for long periods (5-10 years) and approved by the highest authorities for tourism. The normative indicators of the plans, which were taken as the basis for the development of the tourism industry and services, were subject to strict control.

Tourism was used as a means of educational influence on the younger generation. So, in the 1970s, all-Union campaigns and expeditions of schoolchildren and youth were carried out. The goals of such mass tourism enterprises were to instill patriotism, excursion and local history work, sports training and hardening.

Since that time, new forms of recreation began to be introduced: some camp sites began to accept parents with children. The range of tourist services in tourist farms has increased.

The Central Council for Tourism and Excursions (as it has been called since 1969) opened the Central Tourist Refresher Courses for tourist and excursion workers and the Central Advertising and Information Bureau "Tourist", which published methodological literature on tourism and excursion business. Great attention was paid to the improvement of existing tourist hotels, bases, campsites.

Tourist-excursion business has become a major branch of public service, firmly entered the life of the Soviet people. Routes for parents with children were developed, transport trips were organized: motor ships (river and sea), rail and air.

In October 1980, in the resolution of the Central Committee of the CPSU, the Council of Ministers of the USSR and the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions “On the further development and improvement of the tourist and excursion business in the country”, the following tasks were defined:

Creation of comfortable tourist establishments of year-round action;

Expansion of the volume of tourist services for citizens, as their growing needs were not fully met;

Creation of the tourism industry, improving the quality of service;

Improving the types and forms of services provided.

In the long-term construction plans, preference was given to large tourist complexes, including hotels, camp sites, campsites, shelters, catering establishments, shops selling souvenirs, resort and sporting goods.

An important activity of tourism organizations in the early 1980s was the study and study of tourist and excursion opportunities in territories, regions, republics and the development of promising schemes for the development of tourism in individual regions.

In the period 1980-1992. the material and technical base of medical and health tourism gradually grew, new hotel complexes appeared in major cities of the country (Izmailovo and Salyut in Moscow, Tourist in Pskov, Velingrad in Kislovodsk, etc.), new types of services - family holidays and course treatment. During the course of treatment, vacationers lived in apartments and houses of the private sector, and received a course of treatment and rehabilitation in a sanatorium. Recreational services were well developed on the basis of sanatoriums, as well as rest houses.

1.2. The concept of accommodation facilities

Accommodation means - premises with at least 5 rooms and used by organizations of various organizational and legal forms and individual entrepreneurs for temporary accommodation of tourists; room in an accommodation facility - one or more rooms with furniture, equipment and inventory necessary for temporary accommodation of tourists.

Accommodation facilities for tourists - any facility intended for temporary residence of tourists (hotel, camp site, camping site, etc.).

In world practice, there is no generally accepted definition of “a means of accommodation for tourists”, however, WTO experts suggest that “any object that regularly (or sometimes) provides tourists with accommodation for overnight stays” is considered as such.
