Tourist trade in Oecd countries from 1960 to 1985, by François Coulomb, Philippe Domergue.
This study on international tourist trade concerns all the Oced countries during the past twenty-five years.
A global appraisal is made by analyzing balance of payment statistics. By examining the performances of these countries in recent years (1980-85) the main general characteristics are obtained: opposite the Mediterranean and Alpine countries whose tourist trade balance shows a great surplus, there are "tourism consumer" countries (North Europe and other Oecd countries in general). Study of long period tendencies then shows a great stability in the relative positions: there are nevertheless certain original evolutions, such as the breakthrough of the small méditerranéen countries the weakening of the Alpine countries, or else the improvement trend of the American performances.
In the second part of the study, attention is paid more specifically to analysis of the market shares held by the various countries, in a quite comparable manner to the classical study of international trade flows. The tourist trade market thus appears to be relatively open. None of the countries in competition benefit from an advantage protecting them from competition or ensuring a dominant position. Finally, the effect of relative prices on market shares is tested: despite the imperfections of the available statistics, the link observed appears to be globally satisfactory.
