Abstract

Weather is one of the critical factors that influence tourists’ destination choices and activities. Apart from ambient temperature anomaly, rain anomaly is also an important factor considered by tourists when they plan and modify their vacation and holiday trips. This study confirms the important role of abnormal weather conditions in explaining hotel performance, such as occupancy, average daily rate, and revenue per available room. Moreover, operational performance indicators are observed to exhibit dynamic patterns in response to abnormal weather conditions in accordance with different types/classes of hotels. Evidence indicates that tourists prefer to stay at full-service hotels with complete facilities rather than at hotels with limited facilities and services during an abnormally heavy rain situation. Therefore, the findings of this research suggest a useful determinant (i.e., weather changes) of revenue management practices for hotel firms to maximize their operating performance.

异常天气条件对酒店企业绩效的影响
天气是影响游客选择目的地和活动的关键因素之一。除了环境温度异常外,降雨异常也是游客在规划和调整度假行程时考虑的重要因素。这项研究证实了异常天气条件在解释酒店绩效方面的重要作用,例如入住率、平均每日房价和每间可用客房的收入。此外,根据不同类型/类别的酒店,我们观察到运营绩效指标在应对异常天气条件时呈现动态模式。有证据表明,在异常的大雨天气中,游客宁愿住在设施齐全的全方位服务酒店,也不愿住在设施和服务有限的酒店。因此,本研究的结果表明,收入管理实践(即天气变化)对酒店公司最大限度地提高其经营绩效有一个有用的决定因素。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research (JHTR) is an international scholarly research journal that publishes high-quality, refereed articles that advance the knowledge base of the hospitality and tourism field. JHTR focuses on original research, both conceptual and empirical, that clearly contributes to the theoretical development of our field. The word contribution is key. Simple applications of theories from other disciplines to a hospitality or tourism context are not encouraged unless the authors clearly state why this context significantly advances theory or knowledge. JHTR encourages research based on a variety of methods, qualitative and quantitative.
