AB Purpose – This study aims to examine variables influencing resort hotels’ survival in Spain, which had notpreviously been analysed. In this country, determining whether the reasons resort hotels close are differentfrom other hotels could be imperative to resort hotels’ survival.Design/methodology/approach – The survival analysis used Cox’s semi-parametric proportionalhazards regression to determine which variables influence hotel closure and how much each variableincreases risk of closure.Findings – Resort hotel closure depends on hotel size, location, executive management and the businesscycle. Survival is not affected by hotel type or financial structure.Research limitations/implications – While this methodology is common in business survivalanalyses, it has seldom been applied to hotels and has never been used to study the survival of resort hotels.Practical implications – Companies need to rethink the location of new hotels. For already-builtfacilities, good management practices are strategically important for resort hotels’ survival.Originality/value – This paper explores the reasons why resort hotels survive. The study’s selection ofvariables and methodology and its conclusions are unique.
