Abstract
espanolEl turismo de cruceros es un poderoso dinamizador del turismo en los destinos en los que opera, y ha sido largamente estudiado desde el punto de vista del comportamiento del consumidor. Tambien las dimensiones de la sostenibilidad medioambiental y social de este tipo de turismo han sido analizadas con detenimiento por la literatura. No obstante, y a pesar de un creciente numero de investigaciones relacionadas con su impacto economico, no se ha llegado aun a una conclusion robusta sobre el efecto economico neto que tiene sobre los destinos. En este trabajo se estudia el impacto economico del turismo de cruceros en cuatro destinos del mediterraneo espanol con caracteristicas distintas, usando datos de EGATUR y datos financieros de las empresas turisticas localizadas en los distintos destinos. Tras la aplicacion de tecnicas multivariantes se establecen los umbrales en los que el turismo de cruceros tiene un efecto mas beneficioso para la rentabilidad de las empresas turisticas que directamente se benefician del trafico crucerista en destino. EnglishCruise tourism is a powerful development agent on the destinations where it is present. It has been largely studied from the customer behaviour point of view. Moreover, its environmental and social sustainability dimensions have been deeply analysed by the literature. However, in spite of a growing number of researches related to its economic impact, no robust conclusion about its economic effect onto destinations has been reached so far. In this work we examine the economic impact of cruise tourism in four different Spanish Mediterranean destinations. For that we use data from EGATUR statistics and financial data from tourism companies in each destination considered. After running curvilinear multivariable techniques, we stablished a correlation between the cruise traffic and the economic profitability of those enterprises within its scope. Moreover, despite we found no significant correlation with finantial profitability, we also found evidence of significant connection between cruise traffic and the employment level of touristic firms affected.
