- What Attracts Tourists to Paradise? [PDF 796KB]
-
This paper investigates the determinants of tourism demand in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union. We estimate the demand function in a panel setting using annual data from 1979 to 2005. Results show that tourism arrivals are significantly affected by economic developments in the source countries, while price considerations and external shocks (such as hurricanes and wars) are also important. Supply factors, such as developments in foreign direct investment and the number of airlines servicing a destination, are also found to be significant determinants of tourism demand.

- Tourism - an Ethical Issue (PDF)
-
Tearfund, 2000. This report summarises the findings of market research into consumer attitudes towards ethical issues in tourism carried out by Ipsos-RSL on behalf of Tearfund. Tearfund is investigating the connections between tourism and development and what can be done to increase the positive and reduce the negative contributions it makes. Tearfund has therefore asked 2,000 members of the general public what consideration they give to ethical issues when booking their holidays, and in what ways they would be willing to change their behaviour.
