Like extra information I suggest reading this interesting analysis of small hotel activity in Tanzania

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether there were significant differences in the factors affecting economic contribution and performance of small hotel clusters in the three regions of Arusha, Dar es Salaam, and Mwanza in Tanzania. This paper also assesses whether there were significant differences in developmental policies, and industry and competitive environments of small hotel activity in these three regions.

Design/methodology/approach – In the paper data were collected using a novel method of educational workshops held in the three regions. Three short questionnaires were used in the paper to gather data on demographic information of participants and businesses, business environment, and economic transactions of these businesses.
Findings – The paper finds that statistical analyses indicate that factors including development policies, competitive and business environment are significantly different among the three regions.
Research limitations/implications – This paper presented a framework within which policy and industry practices could be comparatively benchmarked amongst multiple locations. Continued future research is essential to contribute towards the dearth of literature formally assessing small hotel activity in developing economies.

Practical implications – The results of this paper could be used to evaluate industry practices as comparative benchmarks across regions. Policy makers in Tanzania can use the data provided to close gaps in services provided to support the three regions. This could lead to a more balanced development of small hotels across the country.
Originality/value – This paper adds to the sparse literature on small hospitality business research, comparative spatial analysis within the hospitality industry, and offers an insight into factors affecting operations of small hospitality businesses in developing nations. The paper also introduces the usage of novel data collection methods from small businesses that are otherwise inaccessible to such research studies. The paper found this data collection method mutually beneficial for both the participants and the researchers.

Deborah Scaling Kiley was rescued at sea in 1982 after five days of battling sharks and watching three crewmembers die. She had faced starvation, bitter cold and exposure. Afterward, she thought she knew everything about survival. In truth, she was just beginning to learn.

Kiley is the first to admit she was not prepared for the events that led to her rescue at sea. The basic facts of her story are this: In 1982, seeking to return to her mother’s home in New Orleans, Kiley, then in New England and an experienced deckhand, agreed to be part of a crew that sailed a 58-foot yacht, the Trashman, from Bar Harbor, Maine to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. When the boat sailed into a 70-knot gale off the North Carolina coast, it went down quickly, leaving the five-person crew adrift in the Atlantic in a 12-foot inflatable dinghy with no food or water. Sharks quickly surrounded their craft. Five days and nights later, only two crewmembers, Kiley and Brad Cavanagh, remained alive. They were rescued by a Russian freighter.
