| Abstract: | This paper presents a statistical methodology to estimate the economic expenditure of tourists at the destination taking the expenditure in collective accommodation establishments as the starting criterion. Since classical parametric procedures (linear or logarithmic regressions, etc.) are not suitable in this particular case, a more realistic and objective model based on new non-parametric techniques is developed. This model allows the analysis of the expenditure at the destination taking into account the different tourist typologies. As an example of its application we offer the results obtained in the analysis of tourist expenditure in the region of Asturias, in northern Spain. |
