El flujo turístico hacia las tierras de la Mancomunidad del Matarraña (Teruel, España): características de la clientela y demanda potencial

Abstract

The county of Matarraña (province of Teruel, Spain) is a tourist space in full expansion whose customers proceed so much of the new and growing demand of rural and ecological tourism, as from the presence of an intensive flow of former emigrants who are becoming temporary recreational residents today. The basic purpose of this paper is providing a tentative scientific explanation of rural tourist demand through regression analysis of the independent variables: population, distance and income level in the areas originating that flow. Furthermore, the matematical analysis has allowed to determine the value of the equation parameters and to offer a map of the potential demand.
