Abstract (EN)
Position tracking technologies developed in the last decade are a valuable addition to the traditional toolbox for data collection, as they offer the opportunity to gather a great amount of unprecedented information on tourists behaviour. In particular, they allow to collect detailed information on spatial and temporal behaviour with respect to different categories/profiles of tourists. We present the results of a survey of tourists’ spatial behaviour coupling GPS movement tracking and questionnaires, and furthermore discuss how this kind of studies may prove useful in providing guidelines for territorial, tourist and transportation policies.
