| その他の書誌記述: | The present paper analyzes certain issues related to the management of international tourist demand in Costa Rica and Valle Central. In particular, tourist demand for activities such as hiking, bird-watching, nature observation and visits to volcanoes, among others, is not being met by tour operators and travel agencies. These activities are being offered without knowledge as to the best option combined or packages. Taking as reference the Survey for Non-resident Tourists, this study analyzes the global trend of preferences of the visitors in the period 2001-2007, including how these tourists would organize their holiday given the opportunity to do so. To this end, we develop a combinatory analysis with probability measures to assess levels of the demand preferences and the efficient management of the suppliers. The results show the combinations of different adventure tourism activities which are considered more appealing, as well as providing orientation for agents in this sector to improve management. |
