Abstract
The purpose of this article is to develop and apply a statistical procedure to estimate the demand for length of stay at the Aspen ski resort. Length of stay can be increased by several variables, most of which can be influenced by the promotional and service programs of resorts. The article illustrates how information on the determinants of demand for length of stay can help resort managers make more effective operating and planning decisions.Keywords
