Abstract:
Assessing the spatial structure of tourism in selected countries during the period1995-2010 is the main purpose of current paper. To reach this, through applyingnew economic geography, some spatial factors affecting on tourismagglomeration have been evaluated using panel data. The results of modelestimation indicated that the economies of scale and the tourism cost are the mostimportant factors in determining tourism agglomeration in selected countries. Inaddition, growth and development level of countries increase the tourismagglomeration in these countries. Also, based on this study results, maintaincredibility in satisfaction of tourists increase the tourism agglomeration.Overall,the results of this study indicate the confirmation of new economic geographyfactors in determining tourism agglomeration, while previous studies are justconsidered the economic factors affecting on tourism agglomeration
