Forecasting travelers in Spain with Google queries

Maximo Camacho and Matías Pacce

No 16/20, Working Papers from BBVA Bank, Economic Research Department

Abstract: We examine whether web search queries help economic agents with predictions about the checking in and overnight stays of travelers in Spain in real time. We show that the models including queries outperform models that exclude these leading indicators. In this way, we aim to contribute to the literature on the link between the Internet and the tourism market.
