PLACES NOT

Yesterday I was reading an 'article about the non-places. According to Marc Augé
known French anthropologist, the contemporary world can be considered and scored by three decentralization: the city, marked by its links with the outside (airports, stations, highways), the historic center, and home. The way of life and relationships, with the advent of the Internet and the PC is changed. There is a constant link with the outside.
It has gone from the relationship with a person, family member, to others that we continue to hear by phone or socialnetwork.

The hotels, chain together with those of other types of infrastructure can be considered as non-places. Non-places are supermarkets, large hotel chains, with their interchangeable rooms or any place that sends the opposite of a dwelling, a residence or a place in the usual sense. The paradox is that the anonymity of non-places are accessed only by providing its own identity: passport, credit card ...

So at this time of continuous relationship with the outside world reflect on what surrounds me. By convention, our hotel is the Hotel Touring or Touring, but I'm always proud when a client says he feels at home or better yet, feel the feeling of the holiday. Holiday as a moment of leisure, freedom from stress, from chores. The feeling of rest.

I think that this is one of the major objectives that every hotelier should arise.

There is no better marketing of being themselves, and we can not point to the standards of the major hotel chains, because we are unici.Per we mean all the small family-run hotels that are struggling every day to carve out their piece of cake in front of these big companies of the great capitals of the rich and budget.
Perhaps this crisis is given a little 'back to a more human dimension where no privacy at all costs should be synonymous with anonymity, where silence should not be accompanied by loneliness.

If you are interested in the topic in the library there are a couple of books the author a brief introduction to an anthropology of supermodernity.
