Abstract

Considering the tourist destination as a set of agents with heterogeneous objectives, the paper identifies the Pareto optimality conditions of the tourism product, designed as set of different goods. Out of an optimization model with numerous agents and constraints, two theorems require three sequential conditions for the existence and location of the optimal tourism product: the unequal weight of the agents, the predominance of external objectives and the need for an imperfectly competitive market in the tourist activities. With heterogeneity at the heart of the model, the paper establishes tourism policy as a trade-off between heterogeneous objectives of economic agents and economic conditions revealed by prices
