Issue Date: | 2012 | Publisher: | 0034-3404 | Journal: | Regional Studies | Abstract: | Regions specializing in tourism or interested in developing tourism should focus their marketing efforts on the tourism demand segments that generate greater revenue. This research analyses wellness tourist demand and identifies the determinants of expenditure during a stay in a wellness destination. To that end, European tourists visiting wellness centres on the Spanish island of Gran Canaria were interviewed. The results reveal that the principal determinants of expenditure on wellness services are the characteristics of the trip, behaviour as international travellers and some sociodemographic attributes of the tourists. Las regiones que se especializan en el turismo o se interesan en desarrollar el turismo deberían enfocar sus actividades de mercadotecnia en los segmentos de la demanda de turismo que generen mayores ingresos.

Para este fin, entrevistamos a turistas europeos que visitaban centros de bienestar de la isla de Gran Canaria. Los resultados indican que los principales determinantes de los gastos en los servicios de bienestar son las características del viaje, la conducta como viajeros internacionales y algunos atributos sociodemográficos de los turistas.Turismo Destino turistíco Demanda turistíca Turismo de bienestar Gasto en turismo. |
