摘要
Demand for tourist services is characterised by strong seasonal variations, despite various policies and commercial strategies employed by tourist companies. Using data collected over a 14-year period starting in 2001, time-series analyses were conducted to identify the trend and the presence of seasonal variations. Results show that rural tourism had a relatively stable pattern and a sustained growth rate during the period of study, which suggests that it is advisable to promote rural tourism as one of the formulas for fostering stable regional development.
