Abstract
This chapter attempts to explain the main strategies adopted by the hosts of manor houses when they engage in lodging activities. The present research draws on 53 non-structured interviews made to owners/hosts of housing tourism facilities (HT). The methodological approach used is classic grounded theory (CGT). CGT encompasses a set of strict research procedures leading to concepts which explain what is going on in the HT substantive area. Within this context, the authors reveal a theoretical code, designated as ‘amplifying casual looping', which the authors believe has the merit of effectively conceptualizing the substantive codes generated by us. This causal model broadens in both directions: positive (virtuous circle) and negative (vicious circle).
