Abstract:
Abstract Systems of ordinary differential equations are used for modelling alternative tourism demand in Greek regions at NUT3 level of disaggregation. Parameter estimation with nonlinear least squares is performed. It is found that tourist products of alternative tourism offered by different regions are complementary goods and that the growth of alternative tourism in a region is not sustainable by itself. Tourism packages combining tourist products from different regions are more desirable by tourists, and the state has to direct the sector in providing and advertising tourism products that combine tourist services from more than one region.
