| Abstract: | Spatial agglomeration is a firm behaviour and mostly occurs because of competition among firms to enjoy spatial agglomeration effects and have the tendency to influence hotel location choice. However, the literature on urban tourism has mostly neglected the influence of perceived spatial agglomeration effects on hotel location choice, especially in the developing countries. The study assessed the influence of perceived spatial agglomeration effects in determining hotel location in the Kumasi Metropolis of Ghana. Data were collected from hotel owners in the Metropolis and analysed with the x2 test of independence and binary logistic regression. Four main perceived spatial agglomeration effects were found to significantly determine hotel location in the Metropolis |
