Abstract
This study investigates accomodation development’s impact on hotel occupancy in Beni Suef, Egypt to inform tourism industry enhancement strategies. It examines influences on occupancy rates in a region economically reliant on tourism.
The study utilized a mixed methods approach, including a survey of 377 hotel guests and semi-structured interviews with 10 diverse stakeholders. The interviews provided qualitative insights on service quality, obstacles to tourism growth, facility conditions, and recommendations for the hospitality sector.
The survey analysis shows significant relationships between reliability, assurance, empathy, development obstacles, and hotel occupancy rates. However, responsiveness and improving hotel structure did not demonstrate statistical significance.
Key findings indicate the importance of enhancing staff capabilities, improving infrastructure and accessibility, increasing marketing efforts, addressing bureaucratic hurdles, incentivizing accommodation investment, and renovating aging facilities to drive occupancy.
Overall, the mixed methods research illuminates factors affecting hotel occupancy rates, contributing to hospitality knowledge. It provides implications for stakeholders to improve Beni Suef’s service quality, infrastructure, and occupancy rates. Further studies could examine other locations.
Keywords: Developing accommodation places, Beni Suef Governorate, Occupancy rates, Tourism development, Service Quality.
