“…In particular, high-income tourists spend 50% more than low-income visitors, whereas this difference is only 17% when we compare middle-and low-income tourists. This result is in accordance with literature and it has already been found by Lee et al (1996), Jang et al (2004), Fish and Waggle (1996), Agarwal and Yochum (1999) and Davies and Mangan (1992), among others.…”

Daily Expenses of Foreign Tourists, Length of Stay and Activities: Evidence from Spain

One of the most salient topics in tourism studies is the analysis of factors driving tourist expenditure decisions, given their impact on destinations and the consequences for marketing strategies. Tourist expenditure in a given destination is the result of considering both the length of stay and the daily expenditure. The objective of this research is to analyse daily tourist expenditure determinants using a survey of foreign tourists visiting one leading destination in Southern Europe: the Spanish Mediterranean coast. It focuses on two aspects: how the length of stay influences daily expenditure and how the different activities of tourists during their stay affect tourist expenditure. The research employs a dataset of nearly 184,000 observations covering 2004-2009 and includes tourist socio-economic characteristics and elements related to the trip. The results confirm that tourist expenditure is explained by a set of tourist-related social and economic factors and these factors shed light on the consequences of strategies to extend the length of stay of tourists. Finally, the effect on the daily expenditure of tourists' activities helps to determine the complementary supply (health, culture, gastronomy, etc) that must accompany mature sun-and-sand destinations.

“…This information tells us about tourist profiles, their destination experiences, and their expectations [5,6]. Davis and Mangan (1992) [7] suppose that LoS determines what activities a tourist engages in and their economic impact on the host community. Therefore, LoS can be considered predictive of tourist spending [7][8][9].…”

“…Davis and Mangan (1992) [7] suppose that LoS determines what activities a tourist engages in and their economic impact on the host community. Therefore, LoS can be considered predictive of tourist spending [7][8][9]. Additionally, Butter (1975) [10] identified five tourist-related factors that influence tourist interactions with local residents; including the number of visitors, LoS, ethnic characteristics, economic and socio-cultural characteristics, and activities undertaken during their stay.…”

Abstract. This investigation employed partial least square analysis to scrutinize factors influencing the social perceptions of Malaysian tourists of tourism facilities at an island tourism destination. It focuses on the effect of one particular socio-demographic variable, length of stay, on consumer satisfaction. Data was collected from a major tourism destination at Langkawi, Malaysia. The results indicate that length of stay has an effect on tourists' social perceptions and contributes to their dissatisfaction with the destination. Tourists who stayed more than 10 days were less satisfaction than those who stayed for less than 10 days. The implications of this finding and recommendations for further study are discussed as well.

“…In fact, and as Davies and Mangan (1992) and Kozak (2004), among others, argue, an increased length of stay may allow tourists to undertake a larger number of experiences or activities that may affect their overall spending and sense of affiliation. Hence, several authors consider length of stay an important market segmentation variable in estimating the determinants of tourist spending (Davies & Mangan, 1992;Legoherel, 1998;Mok & Iverson, 2000). Second, modeling length of stay is important to tourism sustainability analysis (Saarinen, 2006).…”

“…The number of days that tourists stay at a particular destination is likely to influence their expenditure, for instance, as the number of possible experiences to be undertaken by tourists depends on their length of stay (Davies & Mangan, 1992;Kozak, 2004;Legoherel, 1998). Understanding the determinants of length of stay is, thus, important to fully characterize tourism demand and its impact on a given tourist destination (Gokovali, Bahar, & Kozak, 2007).…”

Length of stay is one of the most important decisions made by tourists as it conditions their overall expenditure and stress caused on local resources. This article estimates survival analysis models to learn the determinants of length of stay as survival analysis naturally lends itself to study the time elapsed between arrival and departure. It is found that sociodemographic profiles, such as nationality and gender, and trip attributes, such as repeat behavior, travel motive, and type of flight, are important determinants of length of stay. This article's results are important to design marketing strategies that effectively influence length of stay.
