ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the influence of the entrance of low-cost carriers in the Azores in terms of the determinants of the number of overnight stays and the choice of accommodation type. Different methods of statistical analysis were used for the empirical study. Estimates were considered based on variables related to the trip. In addition, a different variable was considered in the estimates of the type of accommodation: the tourist’s perception of the importance of the existence of several types of accommodations, quantified on a qualitative scale. The results indicate that tourists traveling to the Azores on low-cost carriers tend to stay fewer days at the destination, although these tourists may have other characteristics that predispose them to shorter stays. Finally, the results suggest that the characteristics related to travel are explanatory variables in the choice of accommodation type.

摘要

本研究旨在分析亚速尔群岛低成本航空公司的进入对过夜住宿数量和住宿类型选择的决定因素的影响。不同的统计分析方法被用于实证研究。根据与旅行相关的变量考虑估计值。此外，在估计住宿类型时考虑了一个不同的变量：游客对存在多种住宿类型的重要性的看法，在定性尺度上进行量化。结果表明，乘坐低成本航空公司前往亚速尔群岛的游客往往在目的地停留的天数较少，尽管这些游客可能具有其他特征，使他们倾向于缩短停留时间。最后，
