摘要:In this short paper we analyze the impact of tourist demand in hotel
rooms on the investment of hotels on environmental quality. In
particular we show that when income of the tourists increases, then in
order to maintain the demand for rooms, the hotels must increase the
investment on the environmental quality of the region where there is an
increment of the tourist activity. In the particular case where we have
three different hotel chains located in three different tourist regions, we
show that the incentive of hotel chains to invest in environmental quality
depends on the demand for days of rest on the part of tourists and on
the level of aggregate income. We also show that if total income
increase then the incentive to invest in environmental quality increases
in the region where the price of an hotel room is lower.
