I'm very interested to identify the reasons why some hotels survive while others close. The appropriate methodology are the survival models. Some studies have focused on the manufacturing industry and only a few on the service sector. For the hotel industry, I have found, only, studies of length of stay.
Do you know any study of survival models for the hospitality industry to analyze why some hotels survive while others close?
Would you consider Baum & Ingram's work on Manhattan hotels?

Yes, this type of methods is rare in hospitality. Shian-Loong provides a very good example.

Lots of duration analysis in tourism research, see length of stay :-)
Dear German,
I hope my book "International Tourism Business" should be useful for you. I will recommend chapter 6, 8, 10 (case study " Innovativeness in hotels at Baleary").
I think that another my book "International Tourism in Global Economy, chapter 4 (4.2) should be helpful too.
Kind regards
Barbara
