Internally Funded Research
Tourists’ Preferences for “Smart Hotels” in Crete The proposal’s research objectives are set twofold. On the one hand, the objective
is to evaluate consumers’/tourists’ preferences for innovative actions and products in the hospitality sector (focusing on “smart hotels).On the other hand, the research proposal aims to make a valid contribution to the research field through the development of a holistic framework to evaluate individual consumer preferences in the hospitality sector.
The proposed research programme intends to utilise the discrete choice methodology to examine individual preferences. This is because a) the methodology can identify possible sources of heterogeneity among the population (and thus, depict in a more realistic way their preferences) and b) translate consumers’/tourists’ preferences into monetary equivalent (measured in Euros).
