VARIETY OF ECONOMIC SHARE OF TOURISM ON TROPICAL ISLANDS
Journal Title: Miscellanea Geographica - Regional Studies on Development - Year 2010, Vol 14, Issue 1
Abstract
The author seeks an answer to the question whether a higher intensity of tourism movement is connected with a higher share of tourism in the economy in selected tropical island territories. With the use of the Spearman correlation coefficient, the existence of the average positive correlation between the intensity of tourism movement and the share of tourism in the economy has been determined. In the second part of paper, the author looks at the conditions which affect the role of tourism in the economy in proportion to the intensity of tourism movement. For this purpose, the Chi-square test and detailed case studies of chosen tropical islands are discussed.
