“…Hamilton [27] analyses the effect that the proximity of coastal and other landscape features has on rural tourism demand in the coastal district of Schleswig-Holstein (Germany). Mollard et al [28] study the role of environmental and regional characteristics used by tourism operators as a means of differentiating services. Anderson and Hoffmann [29] include spatial econometrics techniques in their hedonic estimation in order to examine local and special competition for farm tourism services.…”

“…This kind of variable is included in almost all studies that apply the hedonic method to the tourism market [6][7][8][9]28,29,51,57,58] • Accommodation capacity (PLACES): the total number of people who could be accommodated at the same time in the cottage. In addition, this variable is included in almost all studies of this kind [6,7,9,[28][29][30] • Wi-Fi available (WIFI): this is a dummy variable, which takes a value of 1 if there is Wi-Fi available in the cottage and 0 otherwise. In the study of Bilbao-Terol and Valdés [6], the variable included is Internet access.…”

Rural Tourism Accommodation Prices by Land Use-Based Hedonic Approach: First Results from the Case Study of the Self-Catering Cottages in Asturias

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This study analyses the impacts of environmental amenities associated with agricultural and silvicultural land use on the price of rural tourism accommodation in Asturias (Spain). A hedonic price model that relates the price of rural accommodation to environmental amenities as well as equipment, services offered, and the locational characteristics of the accommodation is estimated. The rural accommodations in the study are the self-catering cottages, the intrinsic features of which promote the development of rural tourism sustainability. Geographic information systems (GIS) data are used to measure the location and the proximity to amenities of these self-catering cottages. The main results indicate that agricultural land use has an important impact on the price of accommodation in self-catering cottages. Specifically, a high percentage of grassland in the municipality where the self-catering cottage is sited has a positive effect on rental prices, while a high percentage of arable crops has the opposite effect. The analysis is interesting for decision-making in the context of environmental policies, land use conflict resolution, and rural tourism sustainability.
