Resum: | This paper measures the impact on profitability of the geographical area where the vacation hotels of the Spanish Mediterranean are situated. It places a special emphasis on analysing the tourist districts existing in this coastal Spanish area and the extent to which the degree of business agglomeration at each destination affects hotel profit. Due to the characteristics of the service sector, and after a revision of the agglomeration literature, a ‘U’-shaped relationship is hypothesized between these two variables. With data of about 1869 hotels belonging to 113 tourist districts, results support the hypothesis and partially the theory of tourist districts. |
Patrocinadors: | The authors wish to express their enormous gratitude for the support received from the Spanish Ministry of Industry and Competitiveness in the writing of this paper within the framework of Project TRACE2009_0200. That project had as its aim the design and implementation of a system of strategic indicators for the tourism industry in the Valencian Region of Spain. |
