It is concluded that 91.5%of the average variation in the corporate indebtedness is determined by the remaining variables of thestudy, with the remaining 8.5% variation explained by other factors not specified. It is also concluded thatthere is no statistically significant difference between the values of the corporate size variable throughoutthe study, existing a negative relation between this variable and the variables corporate size, number ofguests, and tourism revenue, and a positive relation with the variables corporate growth rate and totalincome of the hospitality industry.This research provides a great contribution and enrichment of existing literature because with adetailed knowledge concerning these topics, managers’ can base their decision making on these causeand effect relationships, looking for the best decisions that will provide the highest profitability.
