Abstract

Tourism is one of the fastest-growing sectors due to the growth of the global economy. The aim of this paper is to characterise Spanish tourist destinations as an economic development option from a regional perspective. To this end, Multivariate Analysis techniques are applied, through which four factors are identified determine tourism. These factors capture and differentiate the main aspects of the economic impact and tourism efficiency of the hospitality industry. There is an unequal effect of tourism on Spanish tourist destinations, whereby the location of the tourist destination constitutes the main determinant of performance. Two regional segments are identified in terms of according to the most important tourist markets, market for which, the nationality of the tourist is decisive in this classification. On the one hand, the mainland archipelagos are distinguished as tourist destinations where international tourists have the greatest presence, with a significant influence on employment and the volume of expenditure. On the other hand, the regions of the Mediterranean coast, where national tourism is predominant, make a major contribution to the efficiency of the sector.  The regions of Andalusia and Catalonia are the most competitive at national level, since they attract both domestic and international tourists.
西班牙旅游目的地的区域分割和特征:关注当地和外国旅游
由于全球经济的增长,旅游业是增长最快的部门之一。本文的目的是从区域的角度来描述西班牙旅游目的地作为经济发展的选择。为此,应用多元分析技术,通过它确定了四个因素决定旅游。这些因素捕捉和区分了酒店业的经济影响和旅游效率的主要方面。旅游业对西班牙旅游目的地的影响是不平等的,因此旅游目的地的位置构成了业绩的主要决定因素。根据最重要的旅游市场,旅游者的国籍在这一分类中起决定性作用,确定了两个区域细分市场。一方面,大陆群岛是国际游客最多的旅游目的地,对就业和支出有重大影响。另一方面,以国家旅游业为主的地中海沿岸地区对该部门的效率作出了重大贡献。安达卢西亚和加泰罗尼亚地区在全国范围内最具竞争力,因为它们吸引了国内和国际游客。
