TLDR
In this paper, the authors assume that the decision to go on holiday and the length of stay are nested and non-independent, and propose a two-stage choice process: going on holiday (e.g., deciding whether or not to stay in a hotel) and length of stays.Abstract:
This article assumes that the decision to go on holiday and the length of stay are nested and non-independent, thus the objective of this study is to propose a two-stage choice process: going on holiday and length of stay. To do this, we rely on the random-parameter logit model, which accounts for the unobserved heterogeneity of individuals and allows representation of different correlation patterns among non-independent alternatives. We propose hypotheses on the effect on the above decisions of individual's characteristics relating to the destination, personal restrictions and socio-demographic and psychographic characteristics. The empirical application, which is carried out in Spain on a sample of 3781 individuals, evidences the proposed two-stage choice process, and that these decisions also explained by individual tourist characteristics.read more

Impacts of Peer-to-Peer Accommodation Use on Travel Patterns
Iis P. Tussyadiah,Juho Pesonen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify how the use of peer-to-peer accommodation leads to changes in travelers' behavior and identify how these changes can affect expansion in destination selection, increase in travel frequency, length of stay, and range of activities participated in tourism destinations.

A Theoretical Foundation for Count Data Models
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a theoretical foundation for using count data models in travel cost analysis and developed two micro models: a restricted choice model and a repeated discrete choice model.

Tourism participation and expenditure by Spanish households: The effects of the economic crisis and unemployment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined household tourism participation decisions and tourism expenditure across the business cycle, taking the year 2008 (the beginning of the crisis) as a reference, the stability of the tourism expenditure model is tested, identifying variables whose effects alter in times of crisis.

Determinant factors of senior tourists’ length of stay
TL;DR: In this article, the negative binomial model was adapted to the context of length of stay by Spanish seniors and the determinant factors identified were: age, travel purpose, climate, type of accommodation, group size, trip type and the activities carried out at the destination.

A New Approach to Consumer Theory
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend activity analysis into consumption theory and assume that goods possess, or give rise to, multiple characteristics in fixed proportions and that it is these characteristics, not goods themselves, on which the consumer's preferences are exercised.

Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the new generation of discrete choice methods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation, and compare simulation-assisted estimation procedures, including maximum simulated likelihood, method of simulated moments, and methods of simulated scores.
