The economic impacts of tourism are an important topic, to policy-makers as well as entrepreneurs. Policy-makers often want to know how much money tourists spend in a certain region and what this means in terms of added value and employment. Entrepreneurs need to be able to present the impacts of tourism in an efficient and reliable manner. In this...
In tourism management traditional Input-Output models are often applied to calculate economic impacts, including employment impacts. This model implies that increases in output are translated into proportional increases in labour, implying constant labour productivity. In Non-Linear Input Output (NLIO) models final demand changes lead to substituti...
In this study we analyzed state-level economic impacts of medical tourism in Malaysia. In Malaysia, a country that ranks among the world’s most recognized medical tourism destinations, medical tourism is identified as a potential economic growth engine for both medical and non-medical sectors. A state-level analysis of economic impacts is important...
In tourism and recreation management it is still common practice to apply traditional input–output (IO) economic impact models, despite their well-known limitations. In this study the authors analyse the usefulness of applying a non-linear input–output (NLIO) model, in which price-induced input substitution is accounted for. For large changes in fi...
“TDM Insights” is an online journal that has discussions and columns on the topic of Tourism Destination Management. The journal is founded by NHTV Breda University of Applied Sciences, on behalf of their Master of Arts program in Tourism Destination Management (TDM). It is based on the contributions by TDM alumni, NHTV lecturers and other academic...
The health benefits of experiencing nature are well-known. Several established theories, such as attention restoration, biophilia, and awe theories, suggest that lowered emotional arousal is a mechanism of the health effects of experiencing nature. This has not been tested in nature walking experiences in the field, and has not accounted for the re...
Cities attracting large numbers of tourists increasingly face crowding and public resistance to tourism growth. As a result, governments strive to spread tourists from the best-known attractions to less-visited locations to improve both residents’ and tourists’ quality of life. Evidence of success and best practices herein is largely anecdotal, and...
This paper examines how a serious game approach could support a participatory planning process by bringing stakeholders together to discuss interventions that assist the development of sustainable urban tourism. A serious policy game was designed and played in six European cities by a total of 73 participants, reflecting a diverse array of tourism...
Tourism contributes to the economic development of many European cities (Bock, 2015). Although this economic development is attractive for cities, it is questionable whether this development is sustainable (e.g. Jurowski, Uysal, & Williams, 1997, McKercher & Prideaux, 2014, Newsome, Moore, & Dowling, 2012), from an economic, social and ecological p...
Attraction Development Study Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (in Dutch)
Introduction
Overtourism’ is a relatively new term in the public and academic debate on negative consequences of tourism. However, the phenomenon itself is not a new one, as problematic forms of tourism crowding and their effects on local communities and environment have been studied for decades. Yet, there is much evidence that the character of...
The subject area Regional Economics has become topical. This means that in economic analyses the production factor 'space' is of increasing importance. This study book aims to integrate space in the area of General Economics in an analytical way. Models and their applications play a major role in the book's approach. The subject of regional economi...
In this article, we calculate the economic impact of pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the NUTS 2 region Galicia (Spain) in 2010. This economic impact is relevant to policymakers and other stakeholders dealing with religious tourism in Galicia. The analysis is based on the Input-Output model. Location Quotient formulas are used to derive the...
In this chapter we compare four methods to generate a regional input-output table (RIOT). A RIOT is a requirement for a regional input-output (IO) analysis and any over- or underestimation of regional input-output coefficients (RIOCs), contained in the RIOT, can lead to over- or underestimation of economic impacts. One category of methods that can...
Summary Tourism can have a broad range of impacts, including impact on the economy, on the natural and built environment, on the local population, and on visitors themselves. This PhD thesis discussed the measurement of regional economic impacts of tourism, including impacts on output, value added, and employment caused by visitor expenditure. The...
The coastal regions of four European Member States form the 2 Seas Region: France (Nord-Pas de Calais), England (south western, south eastern and eastern coastal regions), Belgium (Flemish coast) and the Netherlands (south coastal area). Tourism is an important industry to this 2 Seas region, contributing billions of euros to the local economies. T...
There are substantial differences between models of the economic impacts of tourism. Not only do the nature and precision of results vary, but data demands, complexity and underlying assumptions also differ. Often, it is not clear whether the models chosen are appropriate for the specific
situation to which they are applied. The goal of this articl...
This book explores the conditions needed to make public and private investments in healthy cities effective. It argues that three conditions are essential: citizen empowerment, corporate responsibility and a coordinated improvement of urban health. The book uses case studies from around the world to show the importance of these conditions, and how...
Already in the 1980s industrial tourism - people visiting operational companies - has been identified as a growing segment of regional tourism industries. Since then the pressure on companies to open their doors for other members of the society has only increased. Several scholars (e.g. Frew, 2000; Soyez, 1993; Mitchell & Orwig, 2002) have discusse...
