Abstract: This study examines tourism convergence across regions within a country as a means to understand the extent to which there is segmentation of regional tourism markets and the differential impact of domestic versus foreign tourism. Additionally, our empirical analysis introduces a newly developed weak σ-convergence test alongside the club convergence approach to explore regional tourism convergence. Using disaggregated monthly county-level data for Croatia from 1998:1 to 2021:9, the results clearly identify the divergence across counties to suggest the regional segmentation of tourism in the country between coastal and continental regions. The policy implications of the results are also discussed.
