| Abstract: | A powerful factor in locational decisions on retail outlets is cumulative attraction or compatibility (here as: compty). Existing studies mostly ignore the impact of spatial and thematic clustering on compty. btw. tourism businesses. This paper questions whether and how spatial and thematic clustering are related to tourist movements btw. visitor attractions. Based on in-depth interviews in Cornwall, England with tourist attraction managers and key informants and complemented by a survey of 435 tourists, the study offers insights into the relationship btw. the nature of the tourism product, spatial clustering and tourism behaviour. |
