An in-depth analysis of four dimensions has been summarized by means of three simple bi-dimensional typologies (weighted intensity and balance, weighted intensity and concentration per area, weighted intensity and average distance). They have been developed by classification of one of the most representative indexes for each individual dimension.
Typology of regions based on travel intensity and balance
These typologies present the division, carried out on the basis of travel intensity and travel balance. Nine basic types of regions are established, classified into units featuring intensive, moderate and weak travel flows, and, simultaneously – receiver, sender and balanced units.
The intensity of tourism flows in a given region is the sum of the volume of all of its tourism flow relations. When combined with the balance of tourism flows indicator, which explains the relative value of the inflow and outflow imbalance, three ranges of each of the two indicators could be distinguished. Therefore, each of the NUTS 2 regions could be classified into one of 9 groups, ranging from highly intensive receivers to non-intensive sender
