“…However, a recent contribution, in which endogeneity is dealt with by selecting an appropriate estimation strategy, questions this assumption. Applying dynamic panel data analysis to a dataset of 52 Italian provinces between 2003and 2007, Di Lascio et al (2011 analyse whether the number of art exhibition affects contemporary and future tourism flows. They find an effect of exhibitions on tourism, but its size is very small.…”

Some recent empirical contributions have highlighted that tourists often\ud go to museums yet appear to extract little utility from the experience. We argue that\ud this is often the case with agents who visit museums only while on holiday and\ud results from a temporary lack of substitute experience goods or compliance with a\ud must-do list. If such agents behaved according to Stigler and Becker’s rational\ud addiction theory, they would also visit museums while at home. However, most do\ud not, which makes them constantly occasional consumers. We indirectly test for the\ud presence of constantly occasional museum attendance by tourists, using data from a\ud survey conducted in 2012 at Vittoriale, the most popular museum at Lake Garda, a\ud renowned Italian tourist destination. By applying multiple correspondence analysis\ud to a question on motivations to visit the museum, we obtain two dimensions of\ud motivation: one based on a search for knowledge and the other based on a more\ud recreational attitude. Identification of the latter is a new finding in itself. We include\ud these dimensions as regressors in a model used to explain museum attendance. We\ud find, as expected, that light consumption negatively affects attendance. We therefore\ud argue that empirical analyses of museum attendance should not disregard light\ud motivation as a possible driver

“…In fact, different measures, corresponding to different typologies of tangible cultural heritage have been included in the empirical analysis by the literature intensifying the heterogeneity across studies. Among others, Di Lascio, Giannerini, Scorcu, and Candela (2011) include in their panel‐data analysis a variable related to temporary art exhibitions; Cuccia and Cellini (2007) use museums and monuments attendance in their time‐series analysis; Yang et al (2010) add the number of cultural areas as classified according to Chinese regulation to their gravity model; Pompili, Pisati, and Lorenzini (2019) use a proxy for cultural importance together with the number of museums in their spatial Durbin model, and several studies use the UNESCO World Heritage Sites classification (Groizard & Santana‐Gallego, 2018; Huang, Tsaur, & Yang, 2012; Ribaudo & Figini, 2016). Regarding the inclusion of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as a heritage‐related variable a different interpretation of the results is needed: the focus is shifted from the pure endowment of cultural heritage to its internationally recognized outstanding value (subsequent to a spontaneous candidacy) and visibility or on the impact of the labelling procedure.…”

Cultural heritage is a potentially important determinant of international tourism flows. Apart from being an enrichment for both individuals and communities and an opportunity for different cultures to meet, tourism also represents a significant industry for European economies. We empirically investigate the impact of the endowment of tangible cultural heritage on tourism attractiveness of European regions. We measure material forms of cultural heritage both as regional density of locally defined monuments, cultural landscapes and museums, and as number of cultural sites listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites international programme. Using a Bayesian multilevel gravity model, we find that UNESCO cultural World Heritage Sites are associated with an increase of 6,000 (one site) to 60,000 (eight sites) international tourists from each European country to an average European region. On the other hand, regionally or nationally defined tangible forms of heritage play a more limited role as pull‐factors for international tourism. Moreover, we show that the presence of UNESCO sites reduces the distance decay effect. International tourists are willing to travel longer distance if a destination is endowed with UNESCO cultural World Heritage Sites.

“…First, previous studies have suggested that temporary exhibitions of modern art have a positive impact on tourism [8]. Therefore, if we want to quantitatively analyze the impact of exhibitions on sustainable tourism (i.e., exhibition-driven tourism), then the number of tourists is a clear and direct indicator [9][10][11].…”

“…Panel data contain observations of multiple phenomena obtained over multiple periods for the same objects [75]. Moreover, panel data are more informative than other types of data since they offer more variability and their estimates are, therefore, more efficient [8]. Many studies have used panel data to analyze the impact of tourism on the economy.…”

After the recession in Japan in the 1990s, Japanese art exhibitions began to appear. The purpose of these exhibitions was to revitalize these areas through the presentation of art (attracting visitors and tourists). Correspondingly, this study explores the significance of exhibition-driven tourism in Japan. The Echigo–Tsumari Art Triennial (ETAT) was used as a case to study how exhibition-driven tourism has impacted sustainable tourism, economics, and the population. The current paper collected panel data from 1900 to 2018. These panel data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and a correlation analysis (a one-way ANOVA and a Pearson correlation analysis in SPSS26). The empirical analysis showed that the Echigo–Tsumari Art Triennial (exhibition-driven tourism) had positive impacts on sustainable tourism, economics, and the population; its correlations with Niigata were also clear. This study generated results that are valuable from both academic and industry perspectives (exhibition-driven tourism), as this field has not been extensively researched. The current paper also presents the theoretical and practical implications of the statistical results.
