Abstract: This paper analyses the demand for tourism in Madagascar, Africa, using counting data models to identify the covariates that explain the return frequency of tourists. The analysis employs a questionnaire to ascertain the characteristics that influence the tourism return frequency. Several count models are estimated for comparative purposes. Robustness tests are implemented, and policy implications are drawn out to improve the understanding and management of frequent, heterogeneous tourist frequency demand.
