Understanding second home owners who do not rent—Insights on the proprietors of self-catered accommodation

Defining an emerging tourism industry sub-sector: Who are the strata titled tourism accommodation stakeholders?

“…While most of the tourism accommodation literature has focused on hotels (e.g., Chou et al, 2008;Lee and Park, 2009;Ye et al, 2009;Vermeulen and Seegers, 2009) or lodging (Rivera and Upchurch, 2008), we have also seen growing academic interest in other forms of tourism accommodation such as backpacking/ budget (e.g., Nash et al, 2006;Loker-Murphy and Pearce, 1995) and cruise ships (e.g., Gibson, 2008;Toh et al, 2005) and selfcatering accommodation (Bieger et al, 2007;Johns and Lynch, 2007;Nicod et al, 2007). This study's focus on STTA signifies a further broadening of the tourism accommodation literature.…”

The Second-Home Rental Market: A Hedonic Analysis of the Effect of Different Characteristics and a High-Market-Share Intermediary on Price

“…On a different matter, sociological reasons are behind the decision to rent a second home according to owners' profiles and the varying proportion offered in the second-home market. For example, Bieger et al (2007) argue that young owners rent out more because there is less usage of these homes and they are more likely to be put up for rent.…”

Second homeowners hosting friends and relatives

“…This can result in mixed outcomes for the host community, particularly when a community has a high second home to permanent resident ratio and low second home utilization. For instance, Bieger, Beritelli, and Weinert (2007) conducted a study on second homeowners who did not rent their homes. Existing second home housing stock could have provided additional accommodations to a mountain resort region of Switzerland without commercial lodging development -a sustainable tourism issue.…”

“…The typology of resident hosts introduced by Young, Corsun, and Baloglu (2007) might also exist with second homeowners such as those who do not rent their second homes. Bieger, Beritelli, and Weinert (2007) explored second homeowners who did not rent their second home and found that when a home was purchased and the age of the homeowner was related to whether or not the home was rented. Findings from previous studies on local resident hosting reveal different trends in regard to the use of commercial accommodation and hosting behaviours related to participation in tourist activities (McKercher 1996;Shani and Uriely 2012;Young, Corsun, and Baloglu 2007).…”
