Abstract

This work analyses the pattern of expenditure by foreign tourists in Italy and of Italy�s market share of the world�s exports of tourism services since the beginning of the last decade. The paper proposes a comparison with the other main euro area countries, focusing in particular on the years following the global financial crisis. This study utilizes data from the Bank of Italy�s Survey on International Tourism for a structural analysis of international travel flows to Italy and the dynamics of foreign tourists� expenditure in Italy and its macro-areas, considering the evolution of �potential� demand.
