Demand for domestic tourism by Swedish households
Mieke Coenen ()
and Lobke van Eekeren ()
Abstract: In this paper an econometric analysis of the domestic
tourism demand of households in Sweden is performed. To model the demand
for tourism of households within Sweden, a two-staged budgeting model is
used. The micro-economic data that are used come from the Tourism and
Travel Database, which is the main data source for the tourism and
travelling behaviour of Swedes. A model is estimated for as well total
expenditures on domestic tourism as for different categories of tourism
expenditures. These categories are accommodation, groceries, restaurants,
shopping and transportation. From the resulting models income, expenditure
and price elasticities are calculated. The elasticities are calculated for
households that differ according to their household characteristics.
