The tourism industry is progressively emerging as a catalyst for economic growth in numerous countries. Conversely, it has emerged as a prevailing inclination and leisure pursuit, increasingly adopted by European Union inhabitants, as well as by individuals beyond its borders. In such circumstances, expenditures related to tourism tend to comprise a significant portion of individuals' financial allocations. Starting from these considerations, the paper analyzes the similarities and disparities between average expenditures per tourist, within the European Union member states, encompassing both domestic and international destinations. Specifically, four categories of expenses are considered: transportation, accommodation, dining, and the acquisition of durable and valuable goods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
