Some Determinants of Urban Hotel Location: The Tourists' Inclinations

Abraham Pizam

Customary thinking shows the accommodation industry to be the primary factor in the development of urban tourism. It is thought that without proper hotel facilities in the proper location even the most richly attractive city could not become a major tourist center. The notion has been that the typical tourist wants to be within walking distance of tourist attractions. The construction of highrise accommoda tions in the city centers has created numerous problems for both the tourist and the local residents. This article describes a study carried out in Israel, which examined urban tourists' reactions to the location of their hotel in terms of travel time from urban center.
