Eastern Aegean

Accessibility is of major importance for tourism and trade development in Eastern Aegean Sea islands, Greece. In particular, the island of Chios is heavily dependent on Athens International Airport for both its inbound and outbound tourism. On the other hand, the International Airport of Izmir in Turkey, located much closer to the island, serves several European destinations. Crossing the borders in an intermodal transport context may lead to a substantial air travel alternative for Chios, thus improving its accessibility and potential for tourism development. A discrete choice analysis, based on primary data research regarding travel scenarios from Chios to ten main European airports-destinations, shows the potential for new traffic flows in addition to the existing ones. Airport utility maximization differences observed among various social groups is also noteworthy.

<p>Previous studies examined additional willingness to pay for socially responsible primary goods. However, technical products have not been considered. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to estimate additional willingness to pay for socially responsible technical products. Within an overview of given methods for measuring willingness to pay, the discrete choice analysis was applied to this study. As technical products, computer mice were chosen exemplary, since there is a partially fair mouse available. It was found that two of three fair labeled mice have a negative willingness to pay. Only consumers of the fair produced and labeled mouse has a positive willingness to pay. The consumers pay perhaps more attention to the aspect of social responsibility, if presented brands are comparatively unknown. In this connection, consumers allocate a higher value to social responsibility.</p>

Choice Analysis

This article focuses on discrete choice analysis (DCA), which offers an effective approach for incorporating customer preferences into operating decisions in hospitality businesses. First the theoretical background of DCA is presented, including a discussion of how DCA compares to conjoint analysis. The authors then present a guide to designing and conducting a DCA study. Conducting a discrete choice study involves identifying the attributes relevant to customers'choices and the appropriate levels of these attributes, designing an experiment, collecting data and estimating parameters using a multinomial logit model. Finally, the strategic implications of DCA in hospitality management research are discussed.
