Can uncertainty increase investments in the hospitality industry? Understanding Overbuilding and Overcapacity
The investment in tourism lodging capacity is often done in contexts of great uncertainty because decisions are made well before the demand is known. In this paper, we consider a two-stages theoretical model of capacity investment and strategic competition to study investment under uncertainty. We found a puzzling u-shaped relation between investment and uncertainty. While for low levels of uncertainty capacity investments may decrease with uncer…
Are destinations reverting to the pre-pandemic “normal”
With three years having elapsed since the pandemic onset, a comprehensive assessment of the adaptation process and its extent becomes crucial. In this research note, we provide evidence in this regard by analyzing the tourism resilience determinants of the Spanish provinces throughout the entire 2020–2022 period. The results show that some determinants have played a time-varying role during shock absorption in 2020, adaptation in 2021, and market…
Spatial patterns of built structures co‐determine nations’ level of resource demand
Societies’ use of material resources is increasingly recognized as a key factor behind sustainability problems. The mass of materials used per capita and year differs substantially between countries. However, a limited range of variables (mostly per‐capita gross domestic product [GDP]) were analyzed to explain this variation. Spatial patterns of cities influence their resource use, but the role of patterns of settlements and infrastructures as co…
Modeling uncertainty in tourism markets
In the recent years the tourism sector has been hit by a number of uncertainty events. This paper studies how uncertainty impacts on the tourism markets and on the destinations price and promotion decisions. We consider a two-stage model with two reference destinations and product differentiation. Specifically, we distinguish between traveling and production costs/inputs uncertainty, and between informative and persuasive advertising. We found th…
Competition for domestic tourism in the Covid-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 has caused a dramatic fall in international tourism demand. Destinations within countries have revised their promotion strategies, intensifying the competition for the domestic market, less affected by mobility restrictions. This paper proposes a contest theory model for characterizing this new context. Two types of destinations, coastal (sun and sand) and rural, compete for the existing demand in terms of promotion spending. The com…
Territorial tourism resilience in the Covid-19 summer
This paper quantitatively analyzes the resilience of tourism to COVID-19 and its territorial distribution in Spain, a global tourism power and one of the countries most affected by the pandemic. A first descriptive analysis of data from the summer of 2020 shows that: i) resilience was not homogeneously distributed across Spanish provinces; ii) the territorial concentration of tourism demand decreased due to the pandemic crisis; iii) the distribut…
