| Abstract: | This chapter examines how motivational and behavioral indicators influence
overnight stays of international tourists in the Algarve. The method
includes a first selection of the motivations associating with high heterogeneity
over the years considered, followed by a correlation matrix to assess
how tourists’ behavioral patterns relate with overnight stays. Behavioral
patterns by year are defined based on motivations, socio-demographics,
intentions, and lagged satisfaction. The correlation analysis was conducted
using 15,542 observations collected at Faro international airport,
from 2007 to 2010. The findings include 10 main motivations and reveal
that these motivations are statistically different by country and over the
years. This study contributes to the overall understanding of the dynamics
of tourism demand. |
