O Uso de Modelos de Demanda Turística na Estimação dos Impactos da Mudança Climática sobre o Turismo

With the increasing interest in evaluating the consequences of climate change on tourism, part of the literature on tourism demand modelling has tried to integrate climate and weather factors into the estimation of tourism demand models. This study analyses how the effects of climate change on tourism flows have been evaluated using these models by discussing the theoretical background behind each one of the three perspectives considered in the literature: time series, choice models and aggregated models. Despite the differences in methodological considerations, results suggest a similar map on major affected destinations.Con el creciente interés en la evaluación de las consecuencias del cambio climático sobre el turismo, parte de la literatura ha tratado de integrar factores de clima en la estimación de modelos de demanda de turismo.

The Impact of the Post-Liberalisation Growth of LCCs on the Tourism Trends in Spain

This paper describes the basic characteristics of low cost companies (LCCs) and their expansion in Spain, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world according to the World Tourism Organization. Using a demand perspective, the evolution of LCCs and the main implications for the tourism marked between 2000 and 2005 are analysed. The evident tendency of Low-Cost companies towards a marked growth in the number of passengers is contrasted with the evident stagnation of traditional or full service companies. The results of the analysis also show that highly significant trends related to the development of LCCs include the growing use of the Internet as an information search engine and tool for booking and paying for tourist services, the substitution of traditional holiday packages (travel and transport) for direct booking systems and a reduction in the length of stays at a destination.
