The nonparametric frontier DEA methodology has been used to assess the levels of efficiency of the hotel firms and Malmquist indices to estimate the productive change in the period 2001-2008. The results show the region most efficient and therefore more competitive. The results also show the rates of change in productivity in the period and its main determinants: efficiency change and technical change.
