Escursionisti a Cefalù. L'indice di attrattività escursionistica IPAE.

Abstract

One-day touring is a relevant part of the tourist phenomenon. Yet it has not been much analysed, due to the fact that day trippers are difficult to be intercepted ans submitted to sampling procedures. Tourist attractiveness has mostly been defined on the supply side, as a property of destination resorts. Less attention has been addressed to the demand side, that is how much leaving towns are attracted by such resorts. In this paper we shall analyse how much Sicilian towns are attracted by Cefalù with respect to one-day touring activities. A new Weighted Attractiveness One-day Touring Index (IPAE) will be proposed and applied.
