Resumen
Tourist´s expenditure is a key variable for the tourism industry with high presence in the literature. Recent microeconometric approaches estimating the factors driving the expenditure of visitors do not confer much relevance to destination features, despite its relevance shown by the theoretical tourism literature. The present investigation proposes a novel framework in tourism demand studies, expanding the previous modelling approach, in order to take into account such contextual destination effects. Particularly, we define a two-level hierarchical spatial model that includes spatial effects, operating both at the level of the destination and in the neighbouring clusters, accommodating in this way for a spatial local dependence structure in the spending choices of visitors. Empirical evidence on the performance of this modelling framework is obtained by building on a relevant data set for more than 136 000 international visitors reaching 1872 destinations in Spain. This allows for a ...
