  • International Tourism Receipts, Expenditure and Balance:
    Tourism Economics, 2005
    Co-Authors: J. G. C. Kester
    Abstract:

    When measuring International Tourism, in addition to tracking Tourism flows there is also a clear interest in quantifying the economic value. The first indicators in this respect (although with limitations) are the International Tourism receipts earned by destinations in the case of inbound Tourism and the International Tourism expenditure by residents of generating markets in the case of outbound Tourism. Most countries report both indicators on a regular basis within the framework of the balance of payments. This issue's ‘Databank’ analyses International Tourism receipts, International Tourism expenditure and the resulting International Tourism balance for the various destination and origin regions, subregions and countries of the world.

  • Drivers of International Tourism demand in Africa
    Business Economics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Ogechi Adeola, Nathaniel Boso, Olaniyi Evans
    Abstract:

    Despite Africa’s potential for Tourism, the continent’s Tourism endowments are still largely underdeveloped and underutilized. The identification and enquiry into the drivers of International Tourism demand in Africa is key to any effort to understand and explain changes in Tourism demand in Africa. This study estimates a Poisson regression model to determine the key drivers of International Tourism demand in 44 African countries, employing annual data over the period 1995–2015. The outcomes of the Poisson regression show that taste formation, real exchange rate, infrastructure, political stability and absence of violence, per capita income, FDI, and trade openness are significant drivers of International Tourism into Africa. However, travel costs and domestic prices are not significant drivers of the decision to travel to Africa.

  • Flight availability and International Tourism flows
    Annals of Tourism Research, 2019
    Co-Authors: Marco Alderighi, Alberto A. Gaggero
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper analyzes the effect of flight supply on International Tourism flows between 20 Italian regions and 24 European countries, observed half-yearly from 1999 to 2010. We find that low-cost carriers have a prominent role in attracting International Tourism flows. Our estimates suggest that an additional round-trip flight operated by a low-cost carrier generates about 74 arrivals and 248 overnight stays in hotels or similar facilities; in the case of a full-service carrier these figures decrease to 29 and 97, respectively. These findings are relevant for the current debate on the drivers of Tourism development.
