Abstract
Understanding the causes making tourists to become attached to a destination is pivotal for ensuring its sustainability. Repeating choice literature has traditionally been the theoretical ground for this type of studies. In this paper we add life-cycle features to the analysis. In a parsimonious approach we start by employing count data and OLS modelling to estimate how a number of determinants influence the length of a tourist relation with a particular destination. We further apply quantile regressions to get deeper insights on how explanatory factors shape the relation-ship of a tourist with a destination when it evolves along time.
