摘要:The purpose of this article is to provide insights into hotel efficiency and investigate which hotels are performing better. Hotel efficiency is examined using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the outputoriented BCC model is applied on the hotels’ internal accounting information. The study further explores whether there are differences in efficiency between hotels of different size and quality. The results show that average efficiency is high, but not all hotels are performing at their maximum efficiency. A significant relationship between size and hotel efficiency has been found. This study provides a potential framework for efficiency measurement and contributes to the growing body of knowledge in the area of hotel efficiency in the context of a country that is predominantly concentrated on seasonal seaside tourism. The results of this research offer useful insights for hotel managers, suggest ways of enhancing hotel productivity and provide guidance on which aspects to focus their attention in the decision-making process.
