Namun seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi dan maraknya operator travel online yang menawarkan berbagai kemudahan, pilihan lokasi tidak lagi menjadi bagian penting di era milenial ini.

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi preferensi wisatawan dalam memilih hotel yang terletak di lokasi yang tidak strategis. Yogyakarta dipilih sebagai objek penelitian karena merupakan salah satu kota tujuan wisata di Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi terhadap teori lokasi yang ada.
