A review of the nature and growth of multi-titled tourism accommodation complexes

Abstract

The growth of multi-titled tourist accommodation (MTTA) complexes represents a significant addition to our conventional conception of forms of short-term accommodation. MTTA complexes are assuming a variety of forms and appear to be proliferating in many parts of the world. This study investigates the international growth of MTTA, with particular emphasis attached to the Australian experience. It also outlines the nature of the new MTTA paradigm, advances a typology of MTTA organisations and identifies the factors accounting for the increased incidence of MTTA.
