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.
