The Connection between Accessibility and Tourism

Abstract

The examination of the relations between tourism and road accessibility raises a large number of methodological problems. Although the connection may seem evident, the statistical measurement is rather difficult. Thus we did not intend to examine the strength of the connection, rather its characteristics and components in the Hungarian tourist regions by means of the loglinear model. In the second part of our analysis we tried to predict the length of multi-day domestic holidays by means of the gravity model after which the real and the predicted data were also compared. This is how we attempted to reveal the characteristics of the Hungarian domestic tourist flow.
