摘要：The study of tourism activities involves the use of databases that provide information about the size,evolution and structure of this economic and social activity. The statistical indicators specific to the domestic and international tourist traffic comply with these requirements;however,by processing them by certain statistical methods,there are provided more information of a different nature. In this context,our paper points out that,by applying the CFA method,in processing a database for the "number of tourists" indicator,we can enrich our knowledge of the particularities related to the participation of each country (out of the 29 analyzed) in each age group,in terms of domestic tourism. By analyzing the structure of each age group of tourists,we can identify similarities and differences between the analyzed countries regarding the domestic travel demand;moreover,this analysis can also play a useful role in guiding the development of new tourism products and services,satisfying the residents’ specific needs.
