In the present world International tourism is one of the most quickly and dynamically developing sectors of economy. In the year 2012 - for the first time in the history of humankind - international tourist arrivals exceeded one billion tourists globally; and within merely 20 years’ time, i.e. between 1995 and 2015, the number of people travelling abroad as tourists more than doubled. The phenomenon also refers to the inbound tourism in Poland - with more than 16 million international tourists who visited our country in 2015.

Analysing tourist mobility: current issues and future challenges
2013
Tourism statistics are generally based on data collected only at one point of the travel, which, depending on the perspective of interest, can be the originating region or the destination one. Indeed, many tourism trips imply the visit to more than a single destination, since tourists move to visit several attraction to several destination or within the same destination.

The present work aims at reviewing the main issues related with the analysis of tou…
Multi-destination trips: a survey on incoming tourism in Sicily

Many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit of more than a single destination. Despite the topic is well documented in literature, the empirical studies are limited to a few pioneering studies. This lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviors, as it results, for example, from the system of European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 95/57 EC), where no information on the average number of destinations visited within a single trip are provided.

Multi-destination pleasure trip behaviors in Sicily
2010
Many pleasure trips are often characterized by the visit of more than a single destination. The topic is well documented in literature (Cooper 1981; Mings & McHugh, 1992), but the main determinants and consequences of multi-destination trips have not been adequately analyzed (McKercher & Lew, 2004). Moreover, the empirical studies on this topic are limited to a few pioneering studies (Lau & McKercher, 2007; Mings & McHugh, 1992; Wu & Carson, 2008). This lack may be attributable to the failure of tourism organizations to collect data on multi-destination trip behaviors, as it results, for example, from European statistics on tourism (according to the Council Directive 59/95 EC), where no inf…
