Abstract

This chapter reviews the conceptual and theoretical foundations underlying the specification of empirical tourism demand models. It begins with a review of basic concepts, theories, and the literature on the determinants of tourist flows. Its goal is to synthesise a conceptual framework within which issues in relation to tourism demand can be analysed systematically. The process of modelling and the specification of empirical demand models are discussed. This discussion includes a critical and up-to-date survey of the state of the art in consumer demand analysis, theoretical background, modelling procedures, and specification of theoretically consistent empirical demand models. The relative merits of the established demand systems and approaches are reviewed; the concluding remarks in this chapter are on the relative merits of each approach. Criteria are proposed for choosing between different available empirical demand models.
