The determinant of household tourism expenditure in Central Java Province, Indonesia

Econometric examination of the impact of income on household expenditures for package holidays in Serbia

“…Therefore it can be concluded that in the first category of households, package holidays have the status of a necessary good, and in the categories with a lower level of education, they enjoy the status of a luxury good. This result corresponds to the results obtained by researchers Alegre and Pou (2004) in Spain, Subanti et al (2018) in Central Java Province in Indonesia, and Haq, Ullah and Sajjad (2019) in Pakistan. The estimated income elasticities show that the size and regional affiliation of the household are variables that also determine to a statistically significant extent the variations in expenditures for package holidays depending on the amount of income.…”

“…In households with a small number of members, income elasticities are significantly lower compared to the income elasticities of households with a larger number of members. Significance of the household size variable was also confirmed in studies by Alegre and Pou (2004) in Spain, Song, Eugenio-Martin and Campos-Soria (2011) in 15 European countries, Subanti et al (2018) in Central Java Province in Indonesia, Odeny (2019) in Kenya, Haq, Ullah and Sajjad (2019) in Pakistan. The significance of the impact of regional household affiliation on the dependence of expenditures on package holidays on income has been confirmed by other researchers, including Subanti et al (2018) in Central Java Province in Indonesia, and Haq, Ullah and Sajjad (2019) in Pakistan.…”

“…Based on micro data obtained from surveys of consumption of Norwegian households conducted by Statistics Norway in the period from 2009 to 2012 Thrane (2016) proved the assumption that expenditures for tourist trips are strongly influenced by income, gender and age structure households. Subanti et al (2018) analyzed tourism expenditures in Central Java Province in Indonesia depending on household income per member, but also socio-economic and demographic factors and regional household affiliation and found that age and gender structure, household income, level of education of the household head and household members, the number of household members, the degree of urbanity of the settlement in which the household has its residence are variables that statistically significantly affect expenditures for tourist travel.…”
