| Research Abstract |
The estimated result clearly shows that we could have predicted the recent surges of Korean tourists to Fukuoka almost accurately at the time of 2000. The fact that the estimated demand function can correctly reproduce the recent drastic changes though it uses only the information of prices of two travel modes implies that most of recent drastic increases of Korean visitors to Fukuoka can be explained by the transport cost.
We have shown the differences between repeaters and first-time visitors.
Potential value of the micro-behavior data is that we can estimate the economic impacts of inbound behaviors of foreign tourists to regional economies.
