Resumen
The purpose oC this study is to measure the impact of the economic determinants of the intemational demand for tourist services in Spain. We use a panel data set of seventeen countries over the perlad 1985-1995. By using appropriate panel data techniques we estimate the effects of real per capita income, exchange rates, and real prices on the demand for Spanish tourist services. The estimated elasticities are +1.40, +0.50, and -0.30, respectively. The negative effect of the Gulf War is also detected, with a coefficient of -0.15. These results are comparable to previous empirical studies for other countries.
