<i>Ex Post</i> Demand for Australian Tourism Goods and Services. This study examines the economic parameters underlying the ex post demand for Australian tourism goods and services from ten source markets in Asia, Europe and North America. The results suggest that demand for the five broad commodity aggregates – accommodation, food, transport, shopping and entertainment – representing the key consumption by tourists, is price-inelastic, implying that all goods are necessities from the tourist's point of view. This result is consistent with the empirical reality that, once he or she has arrived in a destination, a tourist is bound to consume the available goods and services. A second importa…

Economics of Domestic Tourism: A Study of Australian Demand for Tourism Goods and Services.

Comoros has a developing economy based on subsistence agriculture and fishing. It has inadequate transportation links, a young and rapidly increasing population, and few natural resources. The low educational level of the labor force contributes to a subsistence level of economic activity, high unemployment, and a heavy dependence on foreign grants and technical assistance. The Comoros, with an estimated gross domestic product (GDP) per capita income of about $700, is among the world's poorest and least developed nations. Although the quality of the land differs from island to island, most of the widespread lava-encrusted soil formations are unsuited to agriculture. As a result, most of the…
