Abstract
Since the 1950s much effort has been put in place by historians and social scientists in their attempt to study frontiers in a variety of contexts. However, the study of the frontier has always been associated with one specific historical context which is the study of the American West in the nineteenth century. Unlike the American experience, Bengal’s frontier cannot be seen as a ‘no man’s land’, but rather a zone of interaction between peoples. It is from such an outlook that we see a frontier giving rise to hybrid forms of culture and identities composed of elements from a previously distinct repertoire. Contact between the ‘civilized’ and their attempts at ‘civilizing’ therefore allowed distinct groups to mix, thereby ultimately producing new cultural formations. Such mixture also allowed for the growth of contestation along the frontier, which is a result not of isolation, but of contact.

Abstract 
This report looked at what customers in the Kanchipuram district expected from the hotel business. Regression analysis and descriptive statistics were used to examine the hypotheses. The results showed that consumer expectations have a big impact on loyalty and customer happiness. Furthermore, a glaring statistic showed that
consumers really anticipate more services like babysitting and online reservations. To assemble the results, the collected data was analyzed in accordance with the goals of the current study and the findings of the statistical analysis. Therefore, it is advised that in order to keep hotels in business, patrons should actively check their preferences regarding service fees, timely meal delivery to doorsteps, and the introduction of new flavors and recipes in response to a decline in modernity.
Keywords: Hotel Industry, Expectations and Preferences.
