Micro-foundation of Economic Analysis on Tourist Behavior – Theory of Consumer Behavior on Tourism -

Abstract

It is said that we cannot obtain the good conclusions of economic analysis on tourist behavior because we cannot get the data appropriate to the positive analysis. We often hear the same as this on the other economic analysis. If we have some factor which causes it more difficult to obtain good conclusions on the economic analysis of tourism, we cannot yet have constructed micro-economic theory enough to give the theoretical meanings and explanations to tourist behavior. Therefore, the aim of this research is that we try to contribute to constructing the micro-foundation of economic analysis on tourist behavior, where the concept of Alonso’s bid price function takes the important role.
