Summary
A comparative analysis of online prices for collective accommodation establishments on the Mediterranean islands of Corfu, Cyprus, and Malta reveals distinct pricing strategies influenced by tourism competition. The study, conducted using a representative sample from three competitive destinations heavily reliant on tourism, identified significant price variations across these sites. Hypotheses were tested to understand how factors such as incentives, product diversification, and pricing competitiveness impact tourist choices. Findings suggest that destinations offering more diverse tourism portfolios and competitive pricing tend to attract higher demand, providing actionable insights for policymakers and industry stakeholders aiming to optimize their market position in a globalized tourism landscape.
