“…Examining Portuguese hotel chains via DEA, Barros et al (2011) suggest that there is no clear relationship between chain size and managerial efficiency in this case. Exceptions are Poldrugovac et al (2016) who find a difference in efficiency between small-and medium-sized hotels, although this difference disappears when these are compared with larger establishments and Such-Devesa and Peñalver (2013) who use the DEA approach to find that in the Spanish context, larger hotels have greater technical efficiency than smaller establishments. In the Spanish context, Arbelo et al (2018) find that larger hotels show more profit efficiency and suggest that part of this is due to increased economies of scale leading to reductions in costs.…”

The tourism industry, in particular the hotel sector, is a highly competitive market. In this context, it is important that an hotel chain operates efficiently if it wants to improve or maintain its market position. The objective of this work is to compare the relative efficiency of hotel chains operating in Spain. To do this, we have designed a stochastic frontier model to measure revenue efficiency as a function of various different inputs such as total staff or number of rooms. Given that chains vary considerably in size, both inputs and outputs are normalized by an appropriate size measure. In contrast to most previous work, we account for heterogeneity in hotel chains by introducing relevant variables, such as the proportion of hotels in the chain with three stars or fewer, into the efficiency term of the stochastic frontier model. Our results suggest that in the Spanish case, in the period of the economic crisis, hotel chains increase overall revenue by investing in fewer, big hotels rather than more, small hotels. Furthermore, in terms of revenue efficiency, it appears better for hotel chains to invest in hotels of three or fewer stars than in higher star rated hotels. Finally, there is no clear evidence of a relationship between the size of a hotel chain and its efficiency.

“…Pada variabel jasa publik indikator yang terpenting adalah aksesibilitas terhadap pelayanan kesehatan. Menurut Poldrugovac (2017) hotel yang memimliki keterdekatan dengan rumah sakit akan memiliki nilai jual yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan hotel yang berada di lokasi yang jauh dari rumah sakit. Kesuksesan investasi di bidang industri perhotelan sangat bergantung pada faktor lokasi (Yang, 2014).…”

The purpose of this research are to analyze the distribution pattern and the location performance of hotel in Depok regency. The population in this research are all of hotel in Depok regency which is divided in to non star hotel, hotel star 1, hotel star 2, hotel star 3, hotel star 4 and hotel star 5. The data analysis method uses spatial analysis and statistic descriptive analysis. The result of this research shows that the spatial distribution of hotel in Depok regency is clustering. The clustering of hotel divided in to 4 classes there are hotel which associate with Laksda Adi Sucipto street, Ringroad Utara street, colleage and the city forest. Hotel which have the best performance are located in Laksda Adi Sucipto street with the characteristc non-star hotel. Based on the result of this research show there is no correlation between spatial distribution and location performance hotel.Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pola persebaran hotel di Kecamatan Depok dan menganalisis performansi lokasi hotel di Kecamatan Depok. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah semua hotel di Kecamatan Depok yang terdiri dari hotel kelas non-bintang, bintang 1, bintang 2, bintang 3, bintang 4 dan bintang 5. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis spasial dan analisis statistik deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa hotel yang berada di Kecamatan Depok memiliki pola distribusi hotel yang mengelompok. Secara spasial pengelompokkan pola distribusi hotel di Kecamatan Depok terdiri dari hotel yang berasosiasi dengan Jalan Ringroad, Jalan Laksda Adi Sucipto, Perguruan Tinggi dan Hutan Kota. Hotel yang memiliki performansi lokasi tertinggi memiliki karaktertistik berupa hotel non-bintang dan berada di Jalan Laksda Adi Sucipto. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini tidak ada hubungan antara pola distribusi hotel dan performansi lokasi hotel.This is an open access article under the CC-BY-SA license.

“…In academic literature, efficiency analysis in the field of tourism has gained popularity in the previous century (since 1950). The majority of studies are concerned with the lodging sector (Poldrugovac, Tekavcic, & Jankovic, 2016;Barros, Dieke, & Santos, 2010;Pérez-Rodríguez & Acosta-González, 2007;Barros & Santos, 2006;Brown & Ragsdale, 2002), while the restaurant sector is somehow neglected (Planinc, Kukanja, & Planinc, 2018;Alberca & Parte, 2018;Kukanja & Planinc, 2018b;Reynolds & Biel, 2007) although it is a vital part of the tourism industry.…”

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the efficiency performance of restaurants operating in the rural areas of Slovenia. The sample consisted of 52 independently run rural restaurant facilities. Data were obtained from restaurant managers and restaurant firms' financial reports. Based on a convenience sampling method, only those restaurants whose only source of operating revenues was providing food in a restaurant setting were included in the sample. In order to assess restaurants' efficiency performance, Data Envelopment Analysis (dea) was used. Financial variables were used as inputs and outputs to perform dea. This paper contributes to the growing body of literature in the field of restaurant efficiency measurement by providing valuable insights into rural-restaurants efficiency performance. The findings of this study have several significant implications for future research and practice.
