Abstract(s)
This paper introduces the endogenous switching Poisson model to
analyse the underlying reasons behind repeat visitation to Madeira
Island. The advantage of the model is that it allows for both
unobserved heterogeneity and endogeneity in the covariates. Using
data gathered by questionnaire, the authors confirm that the overall
fit of the model is good and outperforms other related count data
models. From the model estimation it is clear that the number of
visits to Madeira Island is supported by multiple variables such as
destination attributes, hotel facilities and travel cost, tourist
motivation and tourist satisfaction. The related policy implications
are derived.
