| Tiivistelmä: | Awareness of tourists' length of stay and the factors determining the length are essential elements for good planning and management of tourist destinations. This paper examines to what extent the personal characteristics of the low-cost tourist, those of the trip and stay and those of the destination itself are significant in determining the duration of a trip. An econometric duration model is estimated. The results indicate that the effect of time restrictions seem to be relevant for explainig the observed differences in length of stay, as well as the effects of the tourist's spending capacity, prices and the differences between urban and "sun and sand" destinations. The model also allows us to analyse changes in the likelihood of stay being ended at a specific point in time associated with changes in the explanatory variables, and to obtain predicted survival times for differents groups of tourists. |
