Analysing domestic tourism flows at the provincial level in Spain by using spatial gravity models
Domestic tourism represents a large share of the total tourism volume in Spain, but it is still an under-researched topic. This study focuses on the determinants of domestic flows in Spain at provincial level. The prior assumption is that domestic tourism demand may be affected by specific local conditions that previous studies, mostly based on more aggregate data, would hardly capture. A gravity model and various spatial econometric models are estimated assuming alternative spatial weighting matrices. Results suggest that income and relative prices affect tourism demand in Spanish provinces as well as weather, natural amenities, infrastructures and recreational activities.
