| Abstract: | The paper analyses the regional flows of domestic tourism that took place in Spain
in year 2000, contributing to the state of knowledge on tourism required by authorities and
private firms when faced with decision making, for example, for regional infrastructure
planning. Although tourism is one of the main income-generating economic activities in
Spain, domestic tourism has received little attention in the literature compared to inbound
tourism. The paper uses among others, gravitational model tools and concentration indices,
to analyse regional concentration of both domestic demand and supply; tourism flows
among regions, and the causes that may explain the observed flows and attractiveness
between regions. Among the most remarkable results are the high regional concentration of
demand and supply, and the role of population and regional income as explanatory
variables. Also remarkable are the attractiveness of own region and neighbour ones, and
that domestic tourism may be acting as a regional income redistributing activity. |
