Assuming that many factors determine the level of hotel base development in a given area, the author has used a multidimensional approach, or more precisely – a multidimensional comparative analysis in its dynamic variant. Following the adopted algorithm, a potential set of diagnostic variables was identified on the basis of secondary information sources (date of CSO local data bank), then using factor analysis to reduce it to the final set of quasi-variables (four main factors). Based on them, a synthetic measure of the development of the hotel base of particular voivodships was constructed. This in turn allowed to determine the voivodship hierarchical structure due to particular main factors and synthetic variable, with its changes in the years 2002–2017. The voivodship were also divided into homogeneous groups, according to the value of the synthetic measure of development, as well as the direction and intensity of its temporal changes.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Spatial differentiation of the state and development of the hotel base in Poland by voivodship in the period 2002–2017}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/112208/PDF-MASTER/Biuletyn%20KPZK%20272%20Wojdacki.pdf}, keywords={hotel base, hotels, spatial diversity, spatial market research}, }
