| description | This research presents an innovative exploratory study of connectivity
in Spain through the analysis of the main low-cost air company in
Europe, Ryanair, employing complex network theory techniques.
Knowing the connectivity of each one of the airports that operate in
Spain, we analyse the different characteristics of national and
international tourist flows in the country. Our results show that the
most important European tourist flow is from United Kingdom to the
Spanish coast and that the diversification of flights at different airports
in the country promotes the development of new tourist destinations
which have thus experienced an increase in their number of visitors.
We start a new line of research that can analyse different parameters of
air connectivity and the implications for tourism. |
