Internet on Hospitality 

The internet has revolutionized the hospitality industry in many ways, making it easier and more convenient for guests to plan, book, and enjoy their travel experiences. Here are some ways the internet has impacted the hospitality industry:

1. Online booking: With the advent of online travel agencies (OTAs) such as Expedia, Booking.com, and Airbnb, travelers can easily search for and book hotel rooms, vacation rentals, and other accommodations from anywhere in the world, at any time. This has made it much easier for travelers to plan and book their trips, while also making it easier for hoteliers and other accommodation providers to reach new customers.
2. Mobile apps: Many hotels and other hospitality businesses have developed their own mobile apps, which allow guests to book rooms, order room service, request housekeeping, and more, all from their smartphones. This has made it more convenient for guests to manage their stays and for hotels to provide better customer service.
3. Social media: Hotels and other hospitality businesses have also turned to social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to reach potential customers and engage with their guests. Social media is a great way for hotels to showcase their amenities and services, highlight their staff, and respond to customer feedback in real-time.
4. Online reviews: With the rise of online review sites like TripAdvisor and Yelp, guests can now easily read reviews and ratings from other travelers before booking a hotel or other accommodation. This has made it easier for travelers to make informed decisions about where to stay, while also incentivizing hotels to provide better service and amenities in order to earn positive reviews.
5. Virtual tours: Many hotels now offer virtual tours of their rooms and facilities, allowing guests to get a better sense of what to expect before they arrive. This has helped to build trust between hotels and guests and has made it easier for guests to make informed decisions about where to stay.

Overall, the internet has had a profound impact on the hospitality industry, making it easier and more convenient for travelers to plan and book their trips, while also providing hotels and other businesses with new ways to engage with their guests and build their brands.

Wole Soyinka and the Enigma of his Works

Wole Soyinka is a name that needs no introduction in the literary world. Born on July 13, 1934, in Abeokuta, Nigeria, Soyinka is an accomplished playwright, poet, and essayist. He is a Nobel laureate, and his works have been studied in schools and universities worldwide. Despite his contributions to African literature, Wole Soyinka remains an enigma to many. His works are often described as complex and difficult to understand, leaving many readers puzzled and intrigued.

Soyinka’s literary career started in the 1950s, where he was an active member of the Mbari Club, a group of Nigerian writers and artists who were interested in promoting African culture and literature. His first play, The Swamp Dwellers, was produced in 1958, and he has since gone on to write over 20 plays, numerous essays, and several books of poetry.

One of Soyinka’s most popular plays is Death and the King’s Horseman, which was first produced in 1975. The play is based on a true story about an African king’s horseman who was expected to commit ritual suicide after the death of the king. However, the British colonial authorities intervened and prevented the ritual from taking place. The play explores themes of tradition, culture, and colonialism, and it has been studied extensively in schools and universities worldwide.

Despite the popularity of his works, many readers and critics have struggled to understand Soyinka’s writing style and the themes he explores. Soyinka’s works often contain complex language, symbolism, and themes, making them challenging to interpret. Some have argued that Soyinka deliberately makes his works difficult to understand, as a way of challenging his readers to think deeper about the issues he explores.

Several writers and critics have attempted to study Soyinka’s works to understand his writing style and the themes he explores. However, many of these attempts have been unsuccessful. Soyinka’s works remain a mystery to many, and his writing style has been described as idiosyncratic and difficult to categorize.

Despite the challenges of understanding Soyinka’s works, his contributions to African literature cannot be denied. He has used his writing to explore themes such as culture, tradition, colonialism, and politics, and his works have been influential in shaping the African literary landscape.

Soyinka has also been a vocal critic of the Nigerian government, and his activism has landed him in trouble with the authorities on several occasions. He was imprisoned for 22 months during the Nigerian civil war, and he has since continued to speak out against corruption, human rights abuses, and other issues affecting Nigeria.

In conclusion, Wole Soyinka remains an enigma to many, and his works continue to be studied and debated by literary scholars and readers worldwide. Despite the challenges of understanding his writing style and the themes he explores, Soyinka’s contributions to African literature cannot be ignored. He has used his writing to explore important issues affecting Africa and has been a vocal critic of the Nigerian government. Soyinka’s legacy will continue to inspire future generations of African writers and scholars.
