Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 31The Path of Least Resistance Explaining Tourist Mobility Patterns in Destination Areas Using AirBNB Data(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2021-06) Turk, Umut; Osth, John; Kourtit, Karima; Nijkamp, PeterDestination attractiveness research has become an important research domain in leisure and tourism economics. But the mobility behaviour of visitors in relation to local public transport access in tourist places is not yet well understood. The present paper seeks to fill this research gap by studying the attractiveness profile of 25 major tourist destination places in the world by means of a 'big data' analysis of the drivers of visitors' mobility behaviour and the use of public transport in these tourist places. We introduce the principle of 'the path of least resistance' to explain and model the spatial behaviour of visitors in these 25 global destination cities. We combine a spatial hedonic price model with geoscience techniques to better understand the place-based drivers of mobility patterns of tourists. In our empirical analysis, we use an extensive and rich database combining millions of Airbnb listings originating from the Airbnb platform, and complemented with TripAdvisor platform data and OpenStreetMap data. We first estimate the effect of the quality of the Airbnb listings, the surrounding tourist amenities, and the distance to specific urban amenities on the listed Airbnb prices. In a second step of the multilevel modelling procedure, we estimate the differential impact of accessibility to public transport on the quoted Airbnb prices of the tourist accommodations. The findings confirm the validity of our conceptual framework on 'the path of least resistance' for the spatial behaviour of tourists in destination places.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Sustainable Development Goals: People and Places Chose What They Do Not Have(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2023) Cavalheiro Ponce Dentinho, Tomás Lopes; Kopczewska, Katarzyna; de Francesco, Giovanni; Pascariu, Gabriela Carmen; Kourtit, Karima; Nijkamp, Peter; Türk, Umut; Dentinho, Tomaz PonceConference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Is City Love a Success Factor for Neighbourhood Resilience? Results From a Microcosmic Analysis of Rotterdam(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Kourtit, Karima; Nijkamp, Peter; Türk, Umut; Wahlström, Marie H. HårsmanThis study examines and tests the concept of ‘city love’ in the context of social resilience for urban neighbourhoods. It introduces the notion of ‘city body’ and ‘city soul’ so as to create an operational framework for measuring the citizens’ appreciation and attachment for the local neighbourhood. Particular attention is given to the social bonds in urban community networks and language groups. A quantitative statistical analysis is carried out to test the relationships and determinants of city (or neighbourhood) love, based on extensive statistical, survey and social media data on the city of Rotterdam. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
