Factors influencing repeat visits to a destination: The influence of group composition

This paper is an analysis of the likelihood for repeat visits to a sun and sand destination by tourists. For this purpose, an empirical study was conducted using tourists who had visited the destination. The analysis took into account the travelling group composition. The results showed that, for the total tourist sample, overall satisfaction had the biggest influence on the decision of whether to revisit a destination, while the least important influence was the tourist's perceived image. These influences varied, however, when different travelling group compositions were considered. The results are of vital importance in tourism management policies, because they can contribute to the better design and development of tourism promotion strategies.     

Regions of the Production Function,Returns, and Economies of Scale: Further Considerations

Contrasting their work with that of Christopher Ross Bell, the authors present a graphical isoquant analysis that suggests that it is not possible for a production function characterized by decreasing returns to yield economies of scale.
