description This paper focuses on investigating the importance of transportation infrastructure in the overall attractiveness of a destination. It extends a classical demand for international tourism function to include transport infrastructure, as measured by proxies of land and air transport, as additional and separate inputs in a panel data framework for the case of island economies. Due to the possibility of reputation effects in tourism, the study also employs dynamic panel data estimates for a sample of island economies. Results from the analysis show tourists are sensitive to both types of transport infrastructure. Disaggregated studies further show that this is more pronounced for top and renowned island destination cases. The study also confirms the existence of persistence effects and repeat tourism for the latter destinations.
