“…GPD per capita and population, which determines the ability to travel, are explanatory variables and they have a positive impact on VFR visit. Provenzano and Baggio (2017) results`, for EU 28, suggest that the higher the stock of immigrants in the country, the higher the flow of incoming tourist. Authors argued that this positive contribution to tourism is mainly due to the mobility of VFR because of the link between VFR travel and migration.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to offer some insights into the future of tourism with particular consideration given to migration, and it impacts on tourism. Methodology-Comparative method and correlation analysis were chosen to quantify possible linkages between observed variables. Obtained data were analysed with methods of descriptive statistics. Data were collected from a variety of international sources like Eurostat, UNWTO and UN DESA databases. Research results are synthesised and presented in tables and graphs. Findings-Review of the statistical data, i.e. correlation and descriptive statistics indicated an essential relation between migration and tourism. Comparative analysis used annual data for 28 European Union countries from 1990 to 2017 while correlation analysis utilised data from 1990 to 2016. Results showed a significant correlation between tourism (nights spent) and immigration for 18 countries, which may indicate that a higher number of nights spent in accommodation services are associated with higher values of immigration. Contribution-Paper findings are in line with conceptualising the migration-tourism relationship. The contribution of this paper lies in a new understanding of the linkages between migration and tourism. Migration represents an essential determinant of VFR tourism development. The results can help in modelling travel demand and suggesting policies that best suit the travel needs of migrant communities. Empirical results obtained from the sample of researched tourist destinations add to a better understanding of such vital research topic.

“…Thus, for example, the extent to which existing migrant stocks can explain visiting friends and relatives travel has been studied in Provenzano and Baggio (2017). Belyi et al (2017) uses a different perspective, considering tourism travel (inferred from Flickr and Twitter social media communities) as representing short-term human mobility patterns as opposed to migration, which represents a long-term one.…”

In this paper, the global tourism network (GTN) is studied in order to gain insight about its structure and the interactions between source and destination markets. To concentrate on the main source and destination markets for each country, only its top k inbound and outbound flows are considered. The distribution of these most important ties in international tourism seems to be scale-free, with some occurrence of reciprocity, large transitivity, and high-degree centralization. The GTN shows a clustered structure determined by geographical as well as trade and cultural factors.Each major global and regional power seems to have a certain tourism sphere of influence. The network has a small world character and a high degree of geographic homophily, with more links within continents than between continents. Exponential random graph models have been fit to explain the observed global structure of the network based on its local interactions, and a number of significant motifs have been identified. The picture that results is a GTN that emerges from superimposed local processes in which tourism flows between countries is determined from multiple independent individual decisions made at the local level. This insight that global tourism patterns are driven by local processes is a major contribution of this research and can help develop strategic plans and cooperation partnerships at the national and regional levels, involving private and public stakeholders and targeting specific source and destination markets. The indicators computed using network analysis of global tourism flows can also be used to complement and enrich the information provided by current tourism statistics. KEYWORDS clustered structure, emergent structure, geographic homophily, scale-free, small world, top inbound/outbound flows

“…The coordinated process of tourism management helps to increase country competitiveness at the European or world market of tourism. It is supported also by active state policy of tourism, further good infrastructure, qualified working power and helpfulness of inhabitants towards tourists (Provenzano & Baggio, 2017;Camisón & Forés, 2015).…”

Tourism records considerably massive development as a single sector and its development can be contribution only in case it is in accord with the living environment and social acceptance. The goal of the contribution is to search sustainable development in area of tourism in the frame of Visegrad group visitors in Slovakia in comparing with whole world prediction development. The searching is made by external environment of tourism system, regarding present legislation about tourism support. The evaluation and comparing is done by the index of country attractiveness from the view of satisfied demands of visitors and their country origin. The main results show attractiveness of the Slovakia is considered as attractive country from the view of satisfied demands. By this way, there is confirmed space for visitation increasing as well as improving Slovakia perception as target country for tourism.
