Context-aware suitability modelling for hotel development: a GIS-AHP framework challenging centrality paradigms in a rapidly urbanizing secondary city

Key Points

• Suitability modelling indicates optimal hotel locations by integrating geographic information systems and analytic hierarchy process.
• Key metric shows that urbanization impacts hotel site selection, emphasizing changes in centrality paradigms.
• Analysis using GIS and AHP provides a framework for evaluating hotel development across urban environments.
• Findings highlight the need for context-aware approaches in decision-making for sustainable urban development.
