Purpose – The purpose of this study was to provide a systematic technique for building a blue ocean strategy for residence hotels using research methodologies on customer satisfaction aspects in marketing on a strategic canvas and an ERRC matrix. Design/Methodology/Approach – To do this, we conducted a survey among hotel visitors using questionnaire items and a self-administered data collection approach, with each item scored on a 5-point scale. Judgment sampling was utilized as the sample method. We then used the survey responses to generate an ERRC matrix using IPA analysis. Findings – According to the ERRC table, hotel attributes that fall under the Raise category include “cleanliness of rooms”, “hotel location”, and “cultural and convenience facilities around the hotel”. Hotel attributes in the Reduce category include “diversity of food and beverage outlets” and “interior decoration and design”, whereas hotel attributes in the Create category include “cultural events”, “creating cultural streets”, and “a family-friendly atmosphere”. The use of the survey results-based Blue Ocean Strategy in the formulation of innovation strategies can provide managers evaluating creative strategies and strategic generating approaches with objective and detailed suggestions. Research Implications – In the Create category, hotel attributes include “cultural events”, “creating cultural streets”, and “a family-friendly atmosphere”. This indicates that, in order to attract and maintain clients, residence hotels might separate themselves from other hotels by generating demand through the development of local cultural streets. Above all, it is vital to sell not only hotel rooms but also a warm and cozy environment reminiscent of a home.

Abstract The hotel industry undeniably holds strong market power. Its economic impact can affect the infrastructural, economic, and digital development of a particular region. In addition to numerous advantages, digital development has also posed certain challenges for the hotel industry, such as fierce competition and a struggle for market power, which in turn lead to constant searching for new beneficial solutions. Hotel websites need to be of good quality to have a positive impact on profitability. Quality websites are functional and useful, and innovation is a common factor observed when testing quality. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the innovation activity of Croatian hotel websites. Two methods were used for research purposes: the e-MICA framework and content analysis. Descriptive statistics and the significance of Chi-squared tests were used to analyse the results. Research findings suggest that Croatian hotels have adopted innovative features on their websites modestly: mostly, 5-star hotels, hotel chains, and foreign-owned hotels as well as hotels focused strategically on direct sales channels. The obtained results are important for future research which should analyse the issue in more depth. Furthermore, hoteliers could also benefit from these results, and use them to their advantage in order to revise and improve their existing strategies.

This study endeavors to investigate the gender diversity management practices (DMPs) in the hotel industry of and the considerable effect of gender, inclusion or exclusion, on hotel employees' perceptions of those practices in Philippine. A quantitative method using personal administered survey was employed and total 300 above questionnaires were sent online to the staff working in the 4–5-star hotels in Manila and only 185 usable questionnaires received. The findings indicated that young, female hotel staff made up the majority. A significant number of hotels were successful in implementing DMPs, and the staff members were conscious of how their employers were working to give both genders the same opportunity for recruiting, decision-making, development and training, a raise, and remuneration. However, the study additionally revealed that the strategy employed by hotel businesses to assist their staff members in balancing their professional and familial responsibilities may contribute in impeding instead of advancing gender parity. Specifically, the study found that hotel companies often offered childcare benefits and flexible work arrangements, but these benefits were not always accessible to all employees. The findings of this research indicate that hotel corporations need to take further steps to make sure that their DMPs are successful and do not obstruct gender parity.

Achieving customer satisfaction is an important goal of the high-quality development (HQD) of the hotel industry. The purpose of this study is to summarize the spatial distribution characteristics and influencing factors of the HQD of the hotel industry to better help improve hotel customer satisfaction and realize the HQD of the hotel industry. Taking Sanya as an example, this study applied kernel density analysis, grid analysis and a geographically weighted regression (GWR) model to reveal the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of the HQD of the hotel industry. The research results show that (1) from 2010 to 2020, both budget hotels and luxury hotels showed an increasing trend year by year and the degree of spatial agglomeration was continuously strengthened. (2) The overall HQD of the hotel industry in Sanya is at a medium to high level, but the development between different regions is unbalanced. The HQD level of the hotel industry in the eastern part of the city is better than that in the western region. (3) There are significant differences in the HQD level and its spatial distribution characteristics of budget hotels and luxury hotels. (4) Hardware facilities, price levels, market popularity and traffic conditions have a positive impact on the HQD level of the hotel industry, while hotel scale and business prosperity have a negative impact on the HQD level of the hotel industry. The public service level does not pass the significance test. The conclusions of this study can provide theoretical reference for the decision-making of HQD of urban tourism.

Purpose The paper presents the findings of research into the barriers to and drivers of environmentally sustainable policies and practices (ESPPs) in the Australian hotel industry. This study aims to explore these drivers and barriers from the perspective of hotel managers and involve a range of hotels with different hotel industry profiles and management structures. Design/methodology/approach The study conducted one-on-one interviews with hotel managers to explore the barriers to and drivers of ESPPs. The purpose of the sample and sample size was to ensure representation of different segments of the hotel industry to include international chain affiliated hotels, Australian chain affiliated hotels and independent hotels. Findings An analysis of the findings suggests that the major barriers to implementing and sustaining environmental sustainability in the Australian hotel industry are time, financial challenges, availability of resources and the views and imperatives of hotel owners and shareholders. The major drivers are financial, marketing, owner and shareholder interests and guest preferences. These stakeholders play a major role in creating both barriers and drivers. Research limitations/implications Based on the results, this study can modify the application of stakeholder theory to a degree and argue that stakeholders need to co-operate further to drive sustainability. This study demonstrates that management of environmental sustainability is a challenge for many hotels and there is a particular need for small and independent hotels to embrace environmental sustainability to keep pace with their larger counterparts. Originality/value This study is broadly informed by the stakeholder theory. Owners, shareholders and associated stakeholders have a significant influence over environmental sustainability in the Australian hotel industry and they create both drivers and barriers. Responses from hotel managers in this research demonstrate that owners act as a barrier to as well as a driver of environmental sustainability initiatives in the Australian hotel industry.

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to determine whether intellectual capital (IC) creates value in the Serbian hotel industry. Specifically, this paper examines to what degree IC and its key components affect the financial performance of hotels compared to physical and financial capital. Design/methodology/approach – The sample included all of the hotels that operated as independent entities in Serbia during 2009–2012. value-added intellectual coefficient was used to measure the level of IC contribution to value creation, which was linked to various measures of financial performance, including operating profit, return on equity, return on assets, profitability and employee productivity. Findings – Results indicate that after controlling for firm size and leverage, employee productivity and, to some extent, profitability were affected by human and structural capital. The research confirms that the financial performance of hotels in Serbia remains predominantly influenced by efficient use of physical capital. Research limitations/implications – The study’s generalizability is limited to the hotel sector within Serbia. Practical implications – Senior managers in the hotel industry must recognize the importance of managing both the physical aspects of their hotels and the intangible resources embedded in their employees and processes. Originality/value – The findings will aid recognition of the importance of investing in IC in hotel industry as a crucial element of achieving competitive advantage in the information age. Moreover, the findings suggest that long-term growth should not rely solely on physical and financial assets.

Numerous studies have investigated how multi-capital establishes hotel resilience, but only some have evaluated the essential element that becomes a hotel management priority. This article aims to examine the direct effect of multi-capital on hotel resilience and explore critical factors that need to be improved in building hotel resilience post-COVID-19. 91 managers of three- and four-star hotels participated in this study. A questionnaire was used to collect the data, which was then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) to examine the effect between variables and further processed with Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA). Tnterviews were done to refine the findings. The study demontrates that human capital is crucial in a hotel's resilience to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings indicate that hotel management should prioritize developing their adaptive capacity, particularly concerning the commitment of employees to fight. Moreover, hotels need an improved income source, marketing strategy and emphasis on life safety. This research contributes to the hotel industry's strategy by applying a multi-capital approach to support the hospitality industry during the global health crisis.

Abstract This study examines the importance of online reviews for price determination in the hotel industry in the pre-pandemic period. The research is conducted for Croatian small open economy with a developed tourism sector. The paper fills the gap in existing literature by using multivariate principal component analysis to group various customer satisfaction categories in the hotel industry and assessing the relationship between customer satisfaction and hotel price. The conducted empirical analysis points to a positive statistically significant relationship of guest satisfaction and hotel prices. Moreover, linear regression modelling is conducted separately for four-star and five-star hotels. The estimated impacts are statistically significant and positive, but the effects are twice as strong in five-star hotels then in four-star hotels. The obtained results indicate that hotel star rating impacts the strength of the relationship between hotel prices and guest satisfaction. Recognizing the link between hotel ratings, online reviews and pricing is essential both for hotel managers and customers. Hence, the paper provides valuable conclusions from the aspect of supply and demand side in the hotel industry.

Purpose This study aims to develop a parsimonious model to estimate US aggregate hotel industry revenue using domestic trips, consumer confidence index, international inbound trips, personal consumption expenditure and number of hotel rooms as predictor variables. Additionally, the study applied the model in six sub-segments of the hotel industry – luxury, upper upscale, upscale, upper midscale, midscale and economy. Design/methodology/approach Using monthly aggregate data from the past 22 years, the study adopted the auto-regressive distribute lags (ARDL) approach in developing the estimation model. Unit root analysis and cointegration test were further utilized. The model showed significant utility in accurately estimating aggregate hotel industry and sub-segment revenue. Findings All predictor variables except number of rooms showed significant positive influences on aggregate hotel industry revenue. Substantial variations were noted regarding estimating sub-segment revenue. Consumer confidence index positively affected all sub-segment revenues, except for upper upscale hotels. Inbound trips by international tourists and personal consumption expenditure positively influenced revenue for all sub-segments but economy hotels. Domestic trips by US residents added significant explanatory power to only upper upscale, upscale and economy hotel revenue. Number of hotel rooms only had significant negative effect on luxury and upper upscale hotel sub-segment revenues. Practical implications Hotel operators can make marketing and operating decisions regarding pricing, inventory allocation and strategic management based on the revenue estimation models specific to their segments. Originality/value It is the first study that adopted the ARDL bound approach and analyzed the predictive capacity of macroeconomic variables on aggregate hotel industry and sub-segment revenue.

Full textAbstract:
: In the very near future, energy efficient hotels will cease to be the exception but will be the rule. Energy conservation and the intelligent utilization of renewable energy sources are prerequisite for sustainable development of tourism. Due to global warming and increased standards in hotel industry, there is an increasing demand for energy for cooling in general, although this is especially reflected in hotel industry peaking in summer period. Furthermore, energy demand for hot water and food and beverages preparation in a hotel increases proportionally with the number of tourists. All these energy issues are overburdening the ever competing hotel industry. Hotels, in order to optimize their energy costs and implementation of renewable energy sources utilization, have to perform energy audit - an analysis of thermal performance and energy systems of building with the purpose to determent its energy efficiency or non-efficiency. This paper combines energy audit methodology with properties of energy consumption in hotel industry with an aim to provide guidelines for modern hotel energy management.

The object of research in this work was the tourism industry. The main emphasis was placed on hotel enterprises, which suffered heavy losses during the knockdown period, as well as in the post-clown period. The conditions of the pandemic lockdown have prompted economic agents to restructure in accordance with the new communication and operational rules. The sphere of hotel services, the main purpose of which is the organization of recreation, has suffered the most from quarantine, because it was completely banned. Therefore, small hotels could not recover, they closed. Subsequently, the government was allowed not to close the domestic hotel industry, but to continue to operate subject to specially developed temporary recommendations for the operation of hotels. These recommendations relate to hotel reservations, accommodation and meals for tourists in rooms, hotel disinfection conditions and room disruption before and after guest accommodation, hotel staff working conditions, and the like.
The creation of hybrid hotels or combo hotels and concept hostels as integration forms of enterprises in the hospitality industry has been proposed as one of the possible ways out of the hospitality enterprises. The study used an empirical method of research. By comparing different periods it was possible to draw conclusions about the financial losses of the hotel industry. Due to the analysis of the issue, changes in the organization of hotels, working conditions of the hotel industry, which occurred due to the introduction of quarantine, were investigated and revealed. The article examines the problems and difficulties of the hotel industry in a pandemic. Mitigation of quarantine has helped to revitalize activities, but it is legitimate within the protocols and regulations of local and state authorities to prevent the spread of viral infections. Therefore, the management of economic entities introduces compliance control for compliance and compliance with the rules, another name for compliance control – «compliance risk management». This function is assigned to special employees or even entire divisions of the company. Large enterprises introduce a department or service responsible for compliance.
The research results obtained can be useful in studying issues related to man-made disasters, environmental disasters and their impact on the tourism industry.

Full textAbstract:
Travelers who have no intention of showing up often fail to cancel their hotel reservations in a timely manner. Because of this tendency, hotels in turn protect their revenue-generating but highly perishable inventory of rooms by overbooking in anticipation of no-shows and late cancellations. Unfortunately, the literature and a recent survey of hotels indicate that hotel overbooking levels are largely set by trial and error and may lead either to oversales and displaced guests or to an unprofitably high number of empty rooms and lost revenues. This study examines the institutional parameters and operating constraints of the hotel industry and treats overbooking as an inventory problem of fixed supply and variable demand, and proposes a statistically derived inventory depletion overbooking model that judiciously balances the opportunity cost of empty rooms with the adverse consequences of oversales. The model thus allows hotel managers to systematically establish optimal booking levels.

Full textAbstract:
Hotels are a key element of the tourism industry. Hotels are the most common form of accommodation for tourists and the hotel industry is intricately to tourism. A review of the academic literature indicates that existing research is primarily focused on sustainability in tourism, but very few studies have analysed the environmental dimension of sustainability in hotels in Australia, an important facet of the Australian tourism industry. The paper presents the findings of the influence of stakeholders on environmentally sustainable policies and practices (ESPPs) in the Australian hotel industry. One-on-one interviews were conducted with hotel managers as a representative sample of Australian hotels in Melbourne, Australia. The selected sample for the research comprised managers who manage approximately 60 hotels. The data was collected through in-depth interviews. It was then transcribed, coded, and analysed with NVIVO, a computer-aided qualitative data analysis software program. The sample size ensured representation by different segments of the hotel industry to include international chain-affiliated hotels, Australian chain-affiliated hotels and independent hotels. An analysis of the findings suggests that owners and shareholders are the biggest influencers as their investment takes primary importance. Other key stakeholders such as guests generally play a secondary role in influencing the ESPPs of hotels. ESPPs should lead to well-intentioned initiatives and practices that are undertaken by stakeholders to create drivers for change to contribute to environmental sustainability.

This study employs a stochastic frontier model to estimate cost efficiency and its determinants in the hotel industry in Spain between 2008 and 2012. Measuring cost efficiency provides useful information on the performance of hotels to management, shareholders and, in general, to all stakeholders. Cost control is an issue managers are particularly concerned about, as it gives a competitive advantage that allows hotels to perform better. The results indicate that the inefficiency in average costs for the sample considered is 32.44% and is time invariant. The results also show that labour productivity, the accumulation of knowledge and location are factors that largely determine the differences in efficiency between hotels. These findings have important implications for public policymakers and hotel management, specifically, policies aimed at improving the skills of hotels’ human resources should be encouraged. Likewise, both location and the accumulation of knowledge are strategic resources that hotel management must include in their competitive strategies to increase efficiency.

Abstract Introduction. Unethical consumer practices in the hotel industry pose a global problem. They are encountered in countries and regions with a rapidly developing tourism sector and a growing number of tourists. Demanding or even impolite customers pose a challenge for hotel employees. These problems are also encountered in Poland. Materials and Methods. In the presented case study, a mixed method model combining qualitative and quantitative analyses was applied to investigate unethical tourist practices in Polish hotels. Five four-star hotels belonging to the same capital group in north-eastern Poland were analyzed. Results. The study demonstrated that hotel staff members, in particular frontline employees, are confronted with unethical customer behaviors. Five types of unethical practices that are most often encountered by hotel employees, in particular young staff members, have been identified. Conclusions. The ability to deal with difficult customers is one of the most highly valued skills in frontline employees. Hotel employees should have an opportunity to participate in regular training programs on hospitality ethics and strategies for coping with difficult situations. These skills will play a pivotal role after the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic when hotels will be struggling to bring back clients. However, excessive leniency towards guests in difficult times could have adverse consequences when businesses resume normal operations.

Sustainable development is in many ways the fundamental basis of tourism. The importance and role of sustainable tourism development in the 21st century is at the center of this paper on eco-certificates and green procurement in the hotel industry, within the field of the responsible or green economy. The green hotel economy implies the selection of accommodation in environmentally responsible hotels and other facilities, which are directing their business operations towards green procurement, eco-labeling, and the responsible economy. This paper includes quantitative research of the attitudes of 506 international tourists, who expressed their views on their needs regarding eco-hotels and the green economy in the hotel industry. This research also included the collection of data on green (responsible) businesses by surveying 100 hotels situated in the capitals of southern Europe. Comparing results from hotels with the needs of tourists in terms of the green economy in the hotel industry, significant results were obtained that contribute to sustainable tourism development.

This journal aims to determine the business prospects for the Islamic hotel industry in the digital era and post-pandemic. We carry out simulations based on the estimated growth of internet users, tourism arrival, and the performance of sharia and non-sharia hotels using data from the annual report of all hotels listed on the stock exchange both in Indonesia and Malaysia every year from 2000 to 2019. In making hotel performance forecasting, This study uses the Autoregressive moving average (ARMA) model. The estimation results are used to compare the performance of the sharia and non-sharia hotel industries in Indonesia and Malaysia from 2000 to 2019. We find that massive internet inclusion makes it easier for consumers to make decisions in choosing accommodation both sharia hotels, non-sharia hotels, and non-hotel accommodations. To understand the resilience of Islamic hotels in facing the Covid-19 pandemic and the opportunities and threats aimed at Islamic hotels, the SWOT Matrix is used through a qualitative research literature approach to strengthening analysis based on ARMA forecasting and to understand the competitive conditions of Islamic hotels both in Indonesia and in Malaysia. We find that the key factor in increasing the competitive power of Islamic hotels is the use of internet inclusion for campaigns that encourage the perspective of prospective Islamic hotel customers in taking purchase actions or encourage prospective customers' perspectives towards creating demand for Islamic hotel services. Based on the results of analysis and forecasting that combines a quantitative approach based on the theory of the firm and absolute income theory, adopting the Cobb-Douglas function and the Solow model with a qualitative approach to research literature tested in the SWOT Matrix, Islamic hotels have a competitive advantage with clear segmentation and positioning as well as has a great chance to rise and recover the financial performance of the organization after the Covid-19 pandemic ends
