“…Gunn (2002) has proposed factors such as market preferences, advocacy, information systems, restrictions and benefits (social environment, governmental disposition, among others), and physical factors, composed of potential destination areas, by geographic and competitive contexts, to identify new and improved attractions and threats to the environment. The authors who have used this categorization are Cha and Uysal (1995) , Smith (1987) and Smith (2013) .…”

The tourism sector has an essential role in the sustainable development of a country. Therefore, in this research we propose a methodology to identify tourist routes that integrate the most important Points Of Interest in a region taking up as criteria profile characteristics in common between the sites evaluated using clustering techniques. To attain this goal, firstly, a literature review focused on compiled information used for location selection and evaluation in attraction potential sites. Then, clustering techniques are applied to identify similarities between sites, and finally, a layout of tourist routes is presented. We applied this methodology using data from a Region in Colombia. As a result, eight factors are proposed: Natural, Cultural, Tourist Plant, Infrastructure, Superstructure, Accessibility, Human and Tourist Capital and Security. From the second phase, three tourist groups were identified with three tourism factors for each of them; and then, two examples of tourist routes are proposed.

“…Son legión ya los autores que han aplicado en alguna de SLLS formas este tipo de razonamiento matemático, desde REILLY (1929) y STEWART (1947) y ZIPF (1949, pasando por VAN DOREN (1967), WOLFE (1972), McEVOY (1974, KLAASEN (1974), BIJKERK (1975), VAN LIER (1977), SMITH (1983) TALAYA (1987). La mayoría de ellos han puesto el acento en el papel de fricción de la variable distancia; SLE parámetros van desde el newtoniano d=-2 de Reilly, al d=-l de Stewart-Zipf, más propio de LUI país como Estados Unidos donde esta variable ejerce una fricción mucho menor; pocos sin embargo han ponderado otras variables socioeconómicas como hemos hecho en nuestro caso con la renta per cápita.…”

Resumen: El Matarraña es un espacio turístico en plena expansión, cuya clientela procede tanto de la nueva y creciente demanda de turismo rural y ecoturismo, cuanto de la existencia de LUI intenso flujo de antiguos emigrantes convertidos hoy en residentes recreativos con carácter temporal. El objetivo fundamental de este trabajo es aportar un intento de explicación científica de la demanda turística rural a partir del análisis de regresión de sus variables independientes: población, distancia y renta de las áreas emisoras. El análisis matemático permitió además determinar el valor de los parámetros de la ecuación y ofrecer un mapa de la demanda potencial.Palabras clave: Matarraña, ecoturismo, turismo rural, demanda potencial, modelos teóricos. Abstract:The county of Matarraña (province of Teruel, Spain) is a tourist space in full expansion whose customers proceed so much of the new and growing demand of rural and ecological tourism, as from the presence of an intensive flow of former emigrants wl-io are becoming temporary recreational residents today. Tl-ie basic purpose of this pa er is providing a tentative scientific explanation of rriral tourist demuid tlirougE regression analysis of the independent variables: population, distance and income leve1 in the areas originating that flow. Furthermore, the matematical analysis has allowed to determine the value of the equation parameters and to offer a map of the potential demand.

“…All of these components are part of tourism development both from the demand and supply aspects. In defining tourism from a supply perspective and to show that tourism is an industry with measurable impact, (Smith 1984) categorized tourism products into goods and services, accommodation, transportation, travel services, culinary, recreation/culture/entertainment and retail goods. (Smith 1984) defines the supply side of tourism as: "the aggregate of all retail businesses that produce commodities for tourists, regardless of the motivation or characteristics of the tourists".…”

Most researchers agree that the core resources that can attract visitors to a destination are environmental and culturally based sites (Alhemoud and Armstrong 1996).…”
