This study evaluates the relative effects of economic growth, industrial expansion, and firm-specific and contextual factors on corporate hotel performance in Sri Lanka. We use data from a sample of 29 listed hotels for 7 years from 2012 to 2018 and employ panel regression to uncover the relationship that exists between these variables. The findings suggest that the macroeconomic factors alone can account for a small part of the variance in return on assets and return on equity, and yet that these macroeconomic factors are the key drivers of the overall financial performance. Moreover, the selected macroeconomic factors, together with firm-specific and contextual factors, appear to have a profound impact on hotel performance. More specifically, growth in the number of tourist arrivals and growth in inflation are found to have a positive and significant impact on corporate hotel performance, while the interest rate has a significantly negative effect. Our findings with regard to the impact of growth in gross domestic product (GDP) on hotel performance are inconclusive. Furthermore, our findings reveal that the profitability of Sri Lankan hotels is driven by managerial efficiency, location factors, geographical diversification, and connection to a wider business network.
