“…Studies have assessed hotel performance using the lodging index (Wassenaar and Stafford, 1991), revenue growth rates (Van Doren and Gustke, 1982), both "objective" and "perceptual" (Haber and Reichel, 2005), or financial and non-financial performance (Banker et al, 2000(Banker et al, , 2005. "Objective" is measured by occupancy rate per room, gross operating profit, and gross operating profit per available room per day.…”

“…While location is an important concern across the entire lodging industry, insufficient research has focused on the relationships existing between hotel size and quality, hotel location, and room prices. In the budget segment of the industry, analysis is typically confined to a simple enumeration of the rooms that are available (supply) or sold (demand) in a chosen region (see, e.g., Van Doren and Gustke 1982). In the higher end of the industry, where yieldmanagement methods generally prevail, analysts often focus exclusively on how site selection for specific hotels or resorts is related to consumer choice, marketing strategy, and expected financial performance (Relihan 1989;Lewis and Shoemaker 1997;Vogel 2001).…”

In many industries, insufficient attention has been given to how location affects prices. One such industry is lodging. This article examines room rates for budget hotels and motels in four southwestern U.S. states during 1998. Using hedonic analysis, published prices are estimated for nearly 600 establishments belonging to six national chains. OLS regression uncovers how site attributes (pools, spas, and complimentary breakfasts) and situation attributes (temperature, interstate location, and specialization of the local economy) affect room rates. Prices for overnight stays during summer and winter seasons are examined. Differential effects of site and situation attributes on price heterogeneity are discussed.

“…These studies mostly focus on single indicators such as cost-volume-profit (Fay et al, 1971, Jaedicke et al, 1975and Coltman, 1978, the lodging industry's sales receipt information (Van Doren and Gustke, 1982), the concept of perishable asset revenue management to measure performance (Kimes, 1989), lodging index (Wassenaar and Stafford, 1991), the RevPar (revenue per available room) index (Ismail et al, 2002), a revenue performance indicator (Baker and Riley, 1994), and an efficiency indicator (Wijeysinghe, 1993). Although these accounting and financial indicators in terms of simple ratios provide important and useful infonnation for benchmarking a hotel's financial performance, there are in fact many factors relative to hotel performance, and obviously these techniques have not taken into account the mix and nature of services provided.…”

Jhis study proposes an alternative data envelopment analysis (DEA) method to explore the managerial performance, the input congestion, and the benchmarks of intemational tourist hotels (ITHs) for a small open economy, Taiwan. Several empirical results are shown: (1) most ITHs operate at decreasing returns to scale, indicating that ITHs are facing a highly competitive environment; (2) the intemational chain ITHs are generally more efficient than independent-owned ones; (3) ITHs Iocated in resort areas operate slightly better on average than ones located in metropolitan areas; (4) ITHs that are close to CKS intemational airport operate slightly worse on average than ones far from CKS intemational airport; (5) congestion analysis reveals that inefficient ITHs lack the ability to integrate their resources, especially in the total area of the catering division and the number of guest rooms; and finally, (6) the reference-share measure shows that efficient intemational chain ITHs are able to more easily become benchmarks. The findings show that efficient intemational chain ITHs are more competitive and they should provide examples of operating practice.
