Analyzing Seasonality in Welsh Room Occupancy Data

Improving service management in budget hotels

“…Therefore, OCC is the most critical determinant of hotel performance (Slattery, 2002;Sainaghi and Baggio, 2014). Following previous research (e.g., Koenig and Bischoff, 2004), we used the occupancy rate to compare the unit hotels in different cities and areas around China. In this study, the occupancy rate is the ratio of rented rooms to the total number of rooms, and the data were obtained from the unit hotels.…”

Differences in Seasonal Price Patterns among Second Home Rentals and Hotels: Empirical Evidence and Practical Implications

“…The same authors (Koenig and Bischoff, 2003) also reveal differences in seasonal patterns for concrete accommodation types because of their location in different towns. Here, we consider it relevant to extend our analysis to other accommodation segments from a policy making perspective, drawing appropriate policies for each sector.…”

“…Another analysis of note within the accommodation sector is that of Koenig and Bischoff (2003), who analyse regional seasonal variations across different accommodation options (hotels, bed and breakfast, farmhouses and guest houses) in Wales. As an example, bed and breakfast establishments and farmhouses show a much sharper summer peak than guest houses, while a higher star category among hotels seems to stretch their occupancy rate over time (in line with the results of Capó Parrilla et al, 2007).…”

Evaluación de la calidad de la información climático-meteorológica contenida en los portales institucionales de promoción turística de España

“…A partir de este momento, se incrementa la investigación en las líneas clásicas (Cuadrat, 1983;de Freitas, 1990;de Freitas et al, 2004;Gómez et al, 2002, Mieczkowski, 1985, a la vez que surgen nuevas líneas temáticas que ahondan en la relación del clima/tiempo con la estacionalidad turística (Koenig y Bischoff, 2004), la información y la organización del tiempo libre (de Freitas, 2003;Perry, 1993;Scott y Lemieux, 2010), la imagen de los destinos (Olcina y Vera, 1998) o el comportamiento de los turistas (Martínez, 2010;Moreno et al, 2008). Pero son los estudios de turismo y cambio climático los que empiezan a adquirir relevancia.…”
