Abstract

This paper analysis the determinants of international tourism demand for Romania and it quantifies their influences. The authors elaborate two models, a fixed-effects model and the Tobit model, to estimate tourist inflow data from twenty-three European countries, for the period 1997-2008. In the fixed effects static panel model, we find that GDP per capita, bilateral trade, population, prices are the main determinants of tourism flows to Romania. For the Tobit model, all the variables taken into consideration, GDP per capita, bilateral trade, population, geographical distance, prices are influencing the international tourism demand. Both models indicate that trade, population, and income are more important determinants than relative prices or geographical distance between Romania and countries of origin.

Sažetak

Rad analizira odrednice međunarodne turističke potražnje za Rumunjskom i kvantificira njihov utjecaj. Autori obrađuju dva modela, model fiksnih efekata i Tobit model, kako bi procijenili podatke o priljevu turista iz dvadeset i tri europske zemlje u periodu od 1997 do 2008. U statičkom panelnom modelu fiksnih efekata nalazimo da su BDP per capita, bilateralna trgovina, stanovništvo i cijene glavne odrednice turističkih tokova prema Rumunjskoj. Za Tobit model, sve u obzir uzete varijable, BDP per capita, bilateralna trgovina, stanovništvo, geografska udaljenost i cijene, utječu na međunarodnu turističku potražnju. Oba modela upućuju na to da su trgovina, stanovništvo i prihod važnije odrednice nego relativne cijene i geografska udaljenost Rumunjske od ishodišnih zemalja.
