Abstract: This study applies diffusion of innovations to investigate if domain name registrations by different accommodation enterprises in Switzerland follow the typical diffusion pattern of other technologies. The study analysed the time series of more than 2100 names registered by small Swiss enterprises — Auberge, Gasthaus and Pension — in the Swiss .ch domain and compared their diffusion pattern with those of hotels. In line with previous research, the results show significant differences in the dynamic of adopting domain names across accommodation types.
Keywords: Auberge, Bass diffusion models, domain name registration, Internet, small hotels, Swiss hotels
