The operating efficiency of international tourist hotels in Taiwan

This study evaluates the operating efficiency of international tourist hotels in Taiwan. The actual operating data of 53 international tourist hotels in Taiwan are collected from 1996 to 1998. There are 6 output variables and 7 input variables in this study. By using the DEA technique, the efficiency of international tourist hotels is analyzed, and we can distinguish between efficient hotels and inefficient hotels. Moreover, the magnitude of inefficiency for input factors and output combinations could be clearly identified.
