| Abstract: | In the European cities currently leading the world rankings for tourist arrivals, local governments have actively promoted tourism. Utilizing an international database of European cities, this study examines whether city planners respond to the additional demand for urban public transport by extending service supply. The results confirm that tourism intensity is a demand-enhancing factor in urban public transport. Yet, cities do not appear to address this pressure by increasing services etc. |
