Abstract:

In this study, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism has studied the capacity use of the tourism business certificate accommodation facilities assigned to the regions according to the Classification of Regional Units of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Total Factor Efficiency (TFV), the Net Technical Event Change, the Scale Event Change. The study covers 4 years between 2014 and 2017. In the analysis, Malmquist’s overall factor efficiency index approach has been used. The findings show that the accommodation sector has a tendency to decline in capacity use in TFV in the years 2014-2017. In this case, policy makers and investors should focus on the factors that lead to the increase in TFV. The increase in TFV will be possible by improving and developing appropriate production technologies in the housing industry. It is also necessary to improve operational efficiency (management and organization) to increase TFV. 85% of the 13 areas covered in the study are below 1 with the TFV limit value. For these regions, especially technological development is the dominant factor that affects the growth of the overall factor efficiency. This study suggests a new research perspective in the assessment of the capacity use efficiency and efficiency of the industry using non-financial input and output variables in the accommodation sector.
