“…This is because this variable is the most closely related to visitor spending (Downward & Lumsdon, 2000;GarínMu~noz, 2007;Garín-Mu~noz, Luís, & Montero, 2007) and the choice of activities by nature-based tourists (Mehmetoglu, 2007). Therefore, rural stays may also reflect the preference of visitors for the different types of existing activities and facilities in a particular rural destination and their spending behaviours.…”

Domestic demand for tourism in rural areas: Insights from summer stays in three French regions

a b s t r a c t Tourism has the potential to make a major contribution to the development of rural areas. However, empirical evidence suggests that its economic impact is limited, because rural visitors are thought to engage in few recreational activities and are seen as low spenders. This study gives new insights into the domestic demand in areas of France described as "rural", with data extracted from the national database provided by the French "tourism demand survey". The results of the "activity-based segmentation" of visitors' stays in three rural regions show that during the summer season, visits to friends or relatives, which involve little expenditure and no specific activities, continue to take place. However, more expensive stays are the most common. They involve activities aimed at experiencing the outdoors or enjoying local sights, based on natural and cultural amenities that are mainly located in regional natural parks. The main forms of accommodation are campsites and rural cottages. Gastronomic tourism has also emerged as an activity that attracts higher spending visitors. These findings are discussed in relation to the results of segmentation studies in other European countries. Their academic and management implications also are presented.

“…a 1.44% decrease in number of tourists of the year 2000 (Aguiló et al 2005). However, a later study using panel data until 2003 to analyze tourism demand to the Balearic Islands, did not find a significant effect of the ecotax on the number of arrivals (Garín-Muñoz and Montero-Martín, 2007). Other studies analyzing the impact of the 5% Hawaii hotel room tax (which generated in $82 million of revenue in 1990, making it the third largest source of state revenue) did not find a statistically significant impact on visitors (Bonham and Gangnes, 1996).…”

This paper tests the effectiveness of different institutions to fundraise for environmental projects at tourist destinations. We conduct a series of experiments with tourists visiting the Island of Majorca, Spain, and test the fundraising capacity of a voluntary donation scheme, two tax levels, and a matching instrument. Majorca is a major international tourism destination, but tourism activities continue to stress the natural environment making the destination less attractive. This is a common phenomenon in mature tourism destinations. In response, many destinations invest in projects to prevent environmental degradation or for environmental remediation. These projects are traditionally financed by means of public investment, with a consequent tax burden to residents. The most common alternative to fund environmental projects is shifting the tax burden to tourists through tourist-targeted taxation schemes. More recently, programs to gather voluntary donations from tourists have been implemented. In one treatment of our experiment, tourists are given the opportunity to make a voluntary donation to the local environmental organization involved in such projects. In high tax and low tax treatment, tourists are taxed some proportion of their initial endowment and then decide on their level of voluntary contributions from their remaining endowment. In a final treatment, the experimenters match, one-for-one, any voluntary donations. We test the crowding-out hypothesis of taxes over voluntary environmental donations and find imperfect crowding-out (from 60 to 65 percent for different tax levels). Finally, we explore potential crowding-in of matching instruments (widely used in non-tourism settings for fundraising campaigns), but do not find any support for the capacity of matching contributions to increase the level of donations. Because of imperfect crowding-out it may be reasonable to use voluntary donation programs and tourism taxes complementarily (instead of independently, as has been done in Majorca), to increase fundraising for environmental purposes.

One of the main advantages of panel data models when pooling the data across entities is the augmented number of observations compared to pure time-series or cross-sectional estimation, while fewer coefficients need to be estimated.…”

Conditional forecasts of tourism exports and tourism export prices of the EU-15 within a global vector autoregression framework Ulrich GunterAbstract Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to analyze the ex ante projected future trajectories of real tourism exports and relative tourism export prices of the EU-15, conditional on expert real gross domestic product growth forecasts for the global economy provided by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development for the years 2013-2017. Design/methodology/approach -To this end, the global vector autoregression (GVAR) framework is applied to a comprehensive panel data set ranging from 1994Q1 to 2013Q3 for a cross-section of 45 countries. This approach allows for interdependencies between countries that are assumed to be equally affected by common global developments. Findings -In line with economic theory, growing global tourist income combined with decreasing relative destination price ensures, in general, increasing tourism demand for the politically and macroeconomically distressed EU-15. However, the conditional forecast increases in tourism demand are under-proportional for some EU-15 member countries. Practical implications -Rather than simply relying on increases in tourist income, the low price competitiveness of the EU-15 member countries should also be addressed by tourism planners and developers in order to counter the rising competition for global market shares and ensure future tourism export earnings. Originality/value -One major contribution of this research is that it applies the novel GVAR framework to a research question in tourism demand analysis and forecasting. Furthermore, the analysis of the ex ante conditionally projected future trajectories of real tourism exports and relative tourism export prices of the EU-15 is a novel aspect in the tourism literature since conditional forecasting has rarely been performed in this discipline to date, in particular, in combination with ex ante forecasting.
