Abstract

Performance of the accommodation facilities should be measured and monitored periodically for sustainability in many dimensions which have potential to affect profitability directly. In this study, efficiencies of 88 hotels from Cappadocia/Türkiye are measured via data envelopment analysis. Four inputs and five outputs are considered to measure efficiencies and effectiveness in 2020 during the COVID-19 period. The data are collected via phone calls, hotels’ web pages and Tripadvisor in 2020. 83% of these hotels (73 hotels) are small-sized hotels which have equal or less than 20 rooms. Constant return to scale, variable return to scale and scale efficiencies of hotels are exposed via input-oriented data envelopment analysis. The findings show that facilities which have higher scale had lower classical efficiency. Additionally, it is observed that one of the main reasons for the inefficiency is revenue per available room. In terms of effectiveness, hotels working with travel agencies had a lower performance.
