Abstract: Survival models are a type of analysis that investigate the length of stay of tourists in certain tourist destinations. This study analyzes the length of stay of tourists in Madagascar. A duration model is used to analyze the length of stay based on a questionnaire to ascertain the significant characteristics influencing the length of stay of these tourists. Policy implications are derived to improve the understanding and management of the length of stay of tourists.
