“…Wijeysinghe (1993) applies a general indicator of hotel efficiency to examine break-even room occupancy and to identify sources of managerial inefficiency. Huo (1994) applies return on investment (ROI) and growth in unit sales approaches to measure a hotel's financial performance.…”

Measuring the Cost Efficiency of International Tourist Hotels in Taiwan

This study employs data envelopment analysis (DEA) to evaluate the relative cost efficiency of 49 international tourist hotels in Taiwan. The study uses five different measures: overall efficiency (OE), allocative efficiency (AE), technical efficiency (TE), scale efficiency (SE) and pure technical efficiency (PTE). Applying efficiency measures derived from the DEA estimation, hotel efficiency determinants are evaluated using the Tobit regression model. A bootstrapping technique is applied to overcome the interdependency problem of the DEA efficiency scores adopted in the regression analysis. The empirical results demonstrate that the international tourist hotel industry in Taiwan is inefficient, with most efficiency losses attributable to technical inefficiencies, of which scale inefficiencies are the primary cause – the scale of operations of international tourist hotels in Taiwan being too small to enable the cost-savings associated with larger-scale operations. The Tobit regression results indicate that the proportion of foreign individual travellers (FIT), online transaction function (WEB) and franchising (HOTELTYPE) are related to a better performance of international tourist hotels in Taiwan. The number of years a hotel has been operating (AGE) is not significantly related to any of the efficiency measures.

“…The traditional approach is to use non-frontier models, such as general indicators of market performance (Wassenaar and Staff ord, 1991), ratio analysis (Wijeysinghe, 1993) and return on investment (Huo, 1994). Two main frontier models have been used: data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the stochastic frontier approach.…”

This study is the fi rst to use the method of data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure airport restaurant eff iciency. The eff ects of environmental factors on DEA eff iciency are also investigated using the bootstrapping Tobit regression model. The results reveal that the average level of eff iciency is approximately 82.4%, indicating that airport restaurants could reduce their inputs by an average of 17.6%. Our results also show that outsourcing type and location have signifi cant eff ect on Taipei Airport restaurants' operating eff iciency, but whether they are chain operations is not correlated with their levels of eff iciency.
