The Competitive Market Structure of the U.S. Lodging Industry and Its Impact on the Financial Performance of Hotel Brands The Competitive Market Structure of the U.S. Lodging Industry and its Impact on the Financial Performance of Hotel Brands by Dragan Matovic Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hospitality and Tourism Management Dr. Ken McCleary, Chairman Dr. Pamela Weaver Dr. Suzanne Murrmann Dr. John Williams Dr. Leo Renaghan April 17, 2002 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Market Structure, Competition, Lodging Brands, Financial Performance Copyright, 2002, Dragan Matovic THE COMPETITIVE MARKET STRUCTURE OF THE U.S. LODGING INDUSTRY, AND ITS IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF HOTEL BRANDS by Dragan Matovic Dr. Ken W. McCleary – Chairman Hospitality and Tourism Management ABSTRACT The primary objective of this study was to explore the relationship among various market structure constructs (consisting of barriers to entry, competition, growth, and market share) and their potential impact on financial performance. By applying theoretical underpinnings from the disciplines of marketing, strategy and industrial organization economics, and adapting them to the unique characteristics of the U.S. lodging industry, the above constructs were linked to produce the Lodging Market Structure (LMS) Model. The study consisted of a cross-sectional analysis using a sample of 67 well-recognized hotel brands operating in the U.S. (representing 63 percent of the national guestroom inventory), covering a four- year period between 1996 and 1999. Correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to examine the hypothesized relationships within the LMS model. This study represented the first comprehensive investigation of the competitive market structure of the U.S. lodging industry. The key findings of the study indicate that the financial performance of hotel brands in the Unite States is strongly impacted by competitive market structure. Among the various market structure constructs studied, barriers to entry played the most dominant role in determining the level of financial performance of hotel brands. Based on a strong negative relationship, barriers to entry are very effective in reducing competition in the U.S. lodging industry. Also, of the constructs studied, barriers to entry had the greatest influence on enhancing the market share of incumbent hotel brands. The growth rate of those incumbent brands has a positive relationship with barriers to entry. As competition intensifies, the growth rate of hotel brands slows down. Increases in competition are negatively correlated with a brand’s market share. Competition has a strong negative relationship with the financial performance of hotel brands. Market share improves as the growth rate of hotel brands increases. As the growth rate of brands increases, profitability also improves. Likewise, improvements in a hotel brand’s market share are positively related to increases in profitability. Lastly, the U.S. lodging market is becoming more competitive, and the industry has reached the mature stage of its lifecycle. iii This dissertation is dedicated to my wife Lisa, and my children Alexander and Hailey for their love, support, and understanding. Without their encouragement and patience this endeavor would not have been possible. iv Acknowledgements I would like to express my sincere gratitude to a number of people who provided valuable assistance and motivation throughout my academic odyssey. First, I wish to express my appreciation to Dr. Ken W. McCleary, my committee chairman and advisor. Over the last few years, he has provided continuous encouragement and valuable advice regarding my doctoral studies. Second, I would like to thank Drs. Pamela Weaver, Suzanne Murrmann, John Williams and Leo Renaghan for providing me the benefit of all of their years of experience in guiding my research. This dissertation was greatly improved by their constructive comments and suggestions. Third, my sincere gratitude goes out to my business partners, Nick and Mario, and their wonderful families for granting me this intellectual sabbatical. Finally, to my mother Lillian and my father Radomir, for their everlasting love. Their wisdom and hard work provided my brother and I with a solid foundation of values to pursue our many interests, and nurtured a lifelong thirst for knowledge and learning. I hope this scholarly achievement is worthy of their trust. v Table of Contents Page Chapter I – Introduction…………………………………………………...1 1. Research Questions.……………………………………………………...4 2.

Summary of the Proposed Subject Property The feasibility study considers development of a proposed hotel in Downtown Berryville on or proximate to Main Street. The subject site has average access to major roadway (State Route 7) because of its proposed location in downtown Berryville's Main Street district, limiting its visibility and ease of ingress and egress from a major roadway. While the proposed site is proximate to some demand generators, the low density of commercial developments in the area is projected to be a weakness. Leisure attractions in Berryville and Clarke County including vineyards, historic manors and event venues, and Barns of Rose Hill will help mitigate this weakness. Visibility is considered to be average, relative to other historic downtown locations, due to its proposed multi- level configuration, assumed signage, and on or proximate to Main Street. State Route 7, which connects Berryville to neighboring Winchester and Leesburg, is less than a mile north from central downtown.

  • Accommodations
    MOTELS, HOTELS, AND BED-AND-BREAKFASTS The 20 places on this list range in distance from IUP from a half-mile to 47.5 miles, and in price from $25 to $139. There are enough rooms to accommodate everyone—but anyone wanting to stay in Indiana and thus not have to drive from a distance should make your reservation as early as possible this fall, as rooms are limited in Indiana. If in doubt, make a reservation now! If you end up not being able to make the trip, you can always cancel late in the game according to standard motel cancellation policies—but if you wait until you’re sure that you can come before calling to make a reservation, you’re less likely to be able to stay where you’d like to. When you call, ask for the special “Appalachian Studies conference rate.” Book early no matter where you want to stay, as these special rates all have cutoff dates, and are unlikely to be available after mid-February. When more than one price is listed, that means that the price depends on what kind of room you want. Places appear below in the order of their driving time to IUP (which ranges all the way from a four-minute walk to a 55-minute drive).
