“…Th ey showed that heavy spenders are distinguishable from the other segments in terms of income levels, hours spent out of the ship, nationality, age and their spending pattern. Brida et al (2012) estimated two cross-sectional regression models for the cruise expenditures, showing that the group size the visitors travel with and the mobility the visitors have within the country are the most important variables to explain individual expenditure behaviour. Th ey provided a better understanding of the cruise industry, considering the expenditure of cruise ship passengers disembarking in the ports of call of Montevideo and Punta del Este as a key variable in the economic analysis of the cost and benefi ts.…”

Abstract. In this study, we assess the determinants of cruise ship passengers and crew members expenditure disembarking in the port of Messina (Sicily, Italy), by applying both linear and concomitant mixture regression models. It is shown that duration of visit, nationality, occupation previous visit to Messina and satisfaction an eff ect on expenditures and that there are three diff erent profi le in expenditure are statistically significant. Th is study enables one to obtain the necessary information to implement more adequate tourism policies in a fastest growing sector in the travel market.

“…Equally used is the cross-section analysis (Parrilla, Font and Nadal, 2007;Brida, et al, 2012;Webster and Ivanov, 2014;Santana-Gallego, Ledesma-Rodríguez and Pérez-Rodríguez, 2016), which, although it does not allow time gap observations, is more accurate when is studied the spatial component of the multiplier effect, as well as the spatial interaction between the units. The use of both methods is less common, but occurs when econometric data are combined with sociological or other type of data (Nelson, Dickey and Smith, 2011;Dogru and Bulut, 2018).…”

Tourism is considered an opportunity for ensuring sustainable growth and reducing economic gaps for many less developed countries and regions. Being one of the most dynamics industries, tourism proves to be strongly resilient, with a high level of involvement and multiplication for receiver economies. The multiplication potential is, however, dependent upon a series of factors (endogenous and exogenous), insufficiently analysed in the literature, and the impact on growth and convergence is controversial. This paper aims to bring additional insights from this perspective, the main purpose of the research being to identify the macroeconomic determinants responsible for the higher values of the tourism multiplier effect and to highlight the potential of this industry to reduce the disparities between the economies of the European Union EU. Using the Stepwise regression and a series of indicators that associate the economic, social and spatial dimensions of European tourism, the main determinants of multiplier effects (on GDP and job creation) are identified and, then, the processes of multiplication from the perspective of centre-periphery dynamics are analysed. The research results indicated that tourism development in the Union reflects a centre-periphery model and has a high potential for contributing to reducing intra-EU disparities.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to detect the determinants of cruise tourists’ expenditure level during their visits to an emergent Mediterranean port city. The article also aims to discuss its findings and contrast them with previous similar studies in other territorial contexts. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on surveys conducted on 1,010 cruise tourists that visited the city of Tarragona (Catalonia) during 2017. An ordered logit model is implemented to measure the impact of different variables related to the tourists’ characteristics and their activities developed at the destination. Findings Results underline diverse significant influences of multiple factors on the expenditures, such as the travel party, the age of the visitors, the length of stay and the tourists’ activities in the city. Although no incidence has been detected of variables related to the satisfaction with the visit of the cruise passengers in general, a positive association has been identified for those cruise passengers travelling on super-sized ships. Originality/value This study tests the effect of different variables that the literature pinpointed as determinants of the cruise tourists’ expenditures as well as other variables that have been underexplored in existing studies. The findings of this article are of special value for public and private organisations to optimally manage and market cruise tourism and boost the local economic impact.
