摘要:
Analyzing how tourism demand responds to external impulses is an essential element of strategic planning and management for tourism destinations and businesses. Existing frameworks often employ econometric models based on classic economic theory and treat external impulses such as holidays and tourism events as homogeneous as control variables. This kind of treatment, however, has not further explored how different holidays and tourism events influence tourism demand. This study, therefore, attempts to provide an intriguing avenue to investigate the motivations and deterrents of travel from a push-pull theory perspective. The tourism demand for Macao by mainland Chinese tourists is investigated. The empirical results indicate that amongst push factors, some holidays stimulate tourism demand, whereas some prevent tourism demand. Different pull factors of tourism events also show various impacts on tourism demand variation. The findings of this study provide governments and industry practitioners new insights on tourism planning and management in practice.
