Tourism flows to Caribbean islands: an empirical note

Applied Economics Letters, 2013, vol. 20, issue 10, 957-965

Abstract: This article examines the determinants of tourism flows to 31 small-island Caribbean economies, from 12 source countries, using an empirical approach that accounts for the inherent heterogeneity of the tourism product and tourism consumers. The results show that tourism flows from the source markets to the Caribbean are income elastic, with the exception of flows from Spain and the USA, but are not very sensitive to price changes.
