Accommodation should be refurbished approximately every 5-7 years to meet changing visitor expectations and to ensure visitor satisfaction.
While destinations seek to attract investment in new tourism development, much of the investment in accommodation is likely to be in the refurbishment and refreshment of existing accommodation development to meet changing visitor expectations. Different types of accommodation have also been pursued in various destinations, with different ownership models and impacts. The growth in strata titled tourism accommodation complexes in Australia over the last decade, for example, has raised multi-stakeholder issues particularly in regard to the need for rejuvenation and refurbishment of these complexes, and their subsequent impact on destination lifecycles.

The research has found that of the three basic types of strata titled tourism accommodation – independent operators, branded strata title hotels and emerging strata title organisations. The research further suggested that branded strata titled tourism accommodation is the most commercially viable, providing a more clearly defined and professional management structure, lowering potential conflict between owners and managers.
