Abstract

This study presents an integrated model to estimate the economic impact of tourism in the Central Region of Portugal. In order to accomplish this objective a visitor survey was undertaken and 2,876 responses were collected to measure tourist expenditures. The tourist multipliers (output, household income and employment) were obtained through a regional input–output model. The model developed in this study was used to estimate the different types of economic impacts (direct, indirect and induced) and to identify the segments of greatest economic value to Central Region of Portugal. The results obtained provide useful information for the definition of marketing and development strategies in the region.
