Choice and Demand in Tourism

This work highlights key aspects of choice and demand in tourism, such as different types of tourists, their motivation, factors which affect their choice of activities, and demand and forecasting models. The analysis of tourism demand is of considerable relevance in most countries around the world and tourist activity is increasingly significant from an economic point of view, with implications for employment, transportation and regional development. As a result, the characteristics, determinants and forecasting of tourism demand are of growing interest to academics, industrialists and policy makers alike.
