摘要：This paper presents an interdisciplinary research conducted on some features of the European tourism market. In our perspective,such an approach can help us find solutions to the challenges faced by the tourism activity nowadays. The generous databases provided by current international statistics can be processed by means of statistical and mathematical methods and software,in order to analyze different aspects of the tourism market in terms of size,structure and evolution. At the same time,the understanding of the tourists’ buying and consumption behavior can contribute to the shaping of a country's tourism profile,depending on a particular feature or economic indicator. In this study,the CFA method (Correspondence Factor Analysis) and the SPSS software (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) – used in data processing – provided the support for shaping the profile of each analyzed European country according to the size and structure of the expenditures incurred by the domestic trips taken by resident tourists.
