Market segmentation and the changing budget hotel industry in urban South Africa

Regeneration of the Hazaribagh urban brownfield: An imperative for Dhaka’s sustainable urban development

“…The urban population is projected to increase by 2.6 billion by 2050, rising from 3.9 billion in 2014 to 6.3 billion (United Nations, 2014). Such densification tendencies will also place pressure on large cities' infrastructure and facilities (see, e.g., Cheng, 2012;Obeng-Odoom, 2012;Xuan & Xun, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012;Shrestha, 2013). Most cities in the world have a significant amount of unused areas; such areas often occupy attractive land but are generally environmentally unfriendly and are often characterised by substantial contamination (see, e.g., Hiremath et al, 2012).…”

Butik Otellerin Karakteristik Özelliklerinin Saptanması

“…Daha çok kent merkezinde yer alan, lüks ve kişiye (2), Aralık 2015 özel hizmet sunan bu yapılar zincir işletmeye bağlı olmayıp genellikle sahibi tarafından işletilir [3]. Bu bakımdan butik oteller; kişiselleştirilmiş ve unutulmaz bir deneyim yaşatan, misafirlerine evden uzakta, ev ve ötesi konforu sunan, tasarım temasına sahip, konaklayanlara anlatacak hikâyesi olan konaklama yapılarıdır [5,19].

The evolution and consolidation of the timeshare industry in a developing economy: The South African experience

“…The radical transformation that has occurred in the South African hotel sector in the post-apartheid period, including the appearance of new segmented forms of hotel development (boutique hotels, all suite hotels, limited service hotels) has been subject of an array of investigations (Rogerson, 2010(Rogerson, , 2011a(Rogerson, , 2011bRogerson & Kotze, 2011;Rogerson, 2012aRogerson, , 2012bRogerson, , 2013aRogerson, , 2013bRogerson, , 2013cRogerson, , 2013d. At the opposite end of the accommodation spectrum there has been a burst of research around second homes tourism and of the local development implications of recreational second home development particularly for South African small towns (Hoogendoorn et al, 2005(Hoogendoorn et al, , 2009Hoogendoorn & Visser, 2010a, 2010bBaker & Mearns, 2011;.…”

“…These new market opportunities have been mainly taken up, however, by nontimeshare accommodation. The diminished role of timeshare is particularly so, especially if compared to the burst of new property developments in the hotel industry as well as appearance or growth of a range of other forms of tourism accommodation, including second homes and small-scale forms of accommodation such as bed and breakfasts, homestays, backpacker hostels and guest houses (see Hoogendoorn et al 2005;Hoogendoorn & Visser, 2010a, 2010bRogerson, 2010Rogerson, , 2011aRogerson, , 2011bRogerson, , 2012aRogerson, , 2013bRogerson, , 2013cRogerson, , 2013d. Indeed, it is argued that the remarkable post-1994 expansion of the hotel industry, the surge of new bed and breakfast and guest house accommodation, the growth in the market for second homes tourism and the rise of backpacker hostels have all combined to push timeshare downwards in relative importance in the provision of accommodation for tourists.…”
