Topic characteristics:
Every year the tourism industry expands at a quick pace. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the main determinants of prices in commercial and private accommodation. There are a lot of variables influencing the price of residential properties. We would like to mention for example review, score, subway accessibility, available services, size of the rooms, internet connection, proximity from the centre, parking places, etc. This study will provide comparison of apartments and hotels in selected metropolitan cities from the geographical point of view. The location of the accommodation is one of the most important determinants for tourists. Their willingness to pay more for better-located accommodation arises from the opportunity cost of spending time in public transport. Therefore, we would like to focus on the relationship between the final price of the hotel/apartment and the proximity from the city centre. Hypotheses: Apartments and hotels are most expensive in the city centre. What is the relationship between the price and the location and what is the rate of drop in prices? Are the hotel prices in the same geographical location higher? Does services play significant role when consumers choose the short-term accommodation? Are people willing to pay more for extra services included? Does people perceive the distance from the metro station differently if the accommodation is in the city centre? Methodology: Pre-survey (literature review), obtain big data for the cross-sectional regression from the online short-term accommodation intermediaries, econometric analysis (cross-sectional regression) for testing the hypothesis and answer questions relating to the trends in tourism Outline: 1.
