Abstract

Assessing Visibility by Using 3D Visualization and GIS Technologies 59 Capitalizing on Views: Assessing Visibility by Using 3D Visualization and GIS Technologies for Hotel Development in the City of Niagara Falls, New York Li Yin and Jonathan Hastings OTELS are a tourist’s largest expenditure apart from travel expenses and can have many beneficial effects Hon a local economy. The pricing of hotel rooms is a function of a bundle of amenities, such as hotel category and Goldberg et al. size, location, surrounding environment, etc. Scenic views from a hotel room can have considerable economic significance and Lange and Schaeffer value. The view quality can carry a premium over the basic price of the room. This premium may result in millions of dollars in revenue each year and tens of millions of dollars over a full investment cycle, which may contribute to the continuing development or rejuvenation of a tourist destination after it Butler “matures.” A hotel may be developed in a variety of design alternatives, including low-rise bulky blocks and high-rises on small footprints.
