A logistic regression model is used to identify the determinants that influence periods of expanding and contracting occupancy growth rates for various hotel categories in Hong Kong. Tourist incomes are found to impact in different ways, depending on the category of hotel. The cycles of income growth in tourist origin countries have a greater impact on high tariff B and medium tariff hotels than on more expensive high tariff A hotels. In examining the applicability of real and nominal exchange rates to tourist hotel selections, it is found that nominal exchange rates are significant only in the case of high tariff A hotels, with a marginal probability of 0.76%. This implies that a 1% exchange rate appreciation in the tourist origin country will increase the expansion period by 0.76% in the case of high tariff A hotels.

Tourism and Commercial Demand for Hotel/Motel Services1982 •
Though tourism is receiving increased attention in the literature, the accommodations sector lacks basic research on what factors most influence economic behavior. One possible reason for this gap may be that economists assume the standard economic models apply directly to the hotel and motel industry. This paper develops a theory of economic behavior in the hotel industry and then tests it empirically.

Product differentiation is one of the key attributes for hotels to avoid direct competition with one another and thus obtain superior performance. Particularly, hotels compete to reflect what they offer to their multiple targeted markets with a price at a location. Within this context, this study aims to examine the effects of competition and differentiation on room prices in urban hotels, more specifically chain hotels in Istanbul, Turkey. More specifically, it investigates the effects of quality staring, types of chain hotels on room prices in Istanbul. The sample covers 87, regionally, nationally and internationally affiliated hotels operating in the1-5 star category in Istanbul. Data for room prices (a single room and double room including breakfast booked from a single day to three months) were collected through the hotels’ websites online room booking facilities and telephoning, for some hotels, over the period of March-June 2013. The results suggest that the hotel prices are positively affected by the differentiation of the hotels in Istanbul, especially more in week days than weekends upon room prices

Everyday Life in the Spectacular City Making Home in Dubai2024 •
In a shopping center in an affluent part of Dubai, a group of old, retired Emirati men congregate daily in Starbucks. When I asked these men about places in Dubai where they felt a sense of community, they argued there was no real community anymore: it only existed in the old days, when everyone knew one another and everyone was Emirati-and these days were long gone. Likewise, popular and scholarly accounts depict similar narratives about the sense of alienation inhabitants of Gulf cities endure in cities dominated by neoliberal spectacles. 1 Yet, a more complex picture emerges when one follows the everyday lives of these very individuals and learns the ways that they adapt and make meanings within (and not just behind or against) the glitzy and rapidly changing urban landscape they inhabit, which has created Dubai's reputation as "the spectacular city." It also highlights the need to understand people's everyday lives holistically, beyond just interview data, as people's experiences of the city do not always mirror how they speak about them. These men, for instance, had appropriated the chain coffee shop (located in what would normally be considered a sanitized shopping center) in a "traditional" manner, almost like they would a majlis. 2 They consumed little from it, as evidenced by the lone bottle of water sitting at
