Abstract

Air connectivity is a key driver for growth, especially for the attractive tourist destinations. Even though the benefits of the air transport are essential, limited research is published regarding the linkage of air connectivity and other business sectors (such as tourism), t he spillover effects on regional economy and the overall contribution of air connectivity to socioeconomic development. Especially for Mediterranean countries air transport for leisure purposes is the most important enabler to achieving economic growth and development. Air transport facilitates integration into the economy and provides vital connectivity on a national, regional, and international scale between countries, promoting tourism growth, and create employment opportunities in tourist destinations. The assessment concept and methodology are given, providing an essential tool for planners, economists, analysts and researchers. The application results are essential for comparisons with other destinations and provide key messages regarding the relations hip of air connectivity and air transport connectivity development in remote tourist destinations especially in Mediterranean region.
