Abstract: We evaluate the resource utilisation efficiency with strategy alliances by data envelopment analysis to investigate whether we can reinforce hotel efficiency improvement. The empirical results show that hotels with international chain strategy alliances enjoy higher resource utilisation efficiency than independent operated hotels. The hotel with the more diversification of precompetitive alliances enjoys less resource utilisation efficiency. Furthermore, the deregulation of tourism in China had no impact on the results.
