of tourism, because accommodation cannot be compared with the tourism

industry. In general, the definition of accommodation is something provided

to fulfill needs or desires with comfort.

Accommodation in the tourism is anything provided by service

providers for tourism activities, including providing buildings for

accommodation, places to eat, entertainment venues and other facilities that

are managed commercially. The development of tourism businesses is

influenced by the availability of adequate accommodation and transportation

businesses and vice versa.

Other definition said that Accommodation is something provided to

meet needs for example, a place to stay or a place to livewhile for people who

travel. In

accommodation tourism is aindustry, so the meaning of the accommodation

industryis a component of the tourism industry,because accommodation can

be a place or a room where people orvisitors or tourists can restor stay

overnight or sleep, shower, eat anddrinks and enjoy the servicesand

entertainment available.1

tourists or consumers of tourism services.

There are at least 4 categories or types of tourist accommodation,

including:

a. Service accommodation is accommodation in the form of services

including hotels, apartments and guest houses. Service accommodation,

everything that is mostly related to services falls into this category. Hotels are

an example of service accommodation. Starting from the reservation process,

check-in (guest registration process) to the check-out process (until the guest

has finished their stay). Most of the needs are provided by the hotel, be it

room cleanliness, providing food and drinks, and the ethics of hotel

employees have a big influence on guest comfort during their stay.

b. Self-catering accommodation is accommodation that requires consumers to

prepare their own food, such as camping, caravans, rented flats and

housesSelf-catering accommodation, also known as self-serve, means that all

the guests' needs will be met by the guest. The provider only prepares a place

to stay. Examples include houses for rent, and also camping activities. In this

category, guests incur costs for renting a place and also costs for necessities

while using self-catering accommodation.

c. House of friends and relatives, in this case accommodation does not require

costs because the accommodation has been provided by friends, relatives and
