RT Journal Article T1 Tourist flows and protection of cultural heritage in Andalusia (Spain): An econometric analysis with panel data A1 García del Hoyo, Juan José A1 Jiménez de Madariaga, Celeste AB This article analyzes the influence of heritage labeling on tourist flows in Andalusia (Spain). Some ofthe labels considered correspond to public registries whose purpose is the protection of heritage,while others correspond to specific recognitions aimed at promoting tourism and local development.A data panel of 31 tourist destinations covering the entire territory of Andalusia has beenconstructed for the period 2009-2022, incorporating the tourist flows of travelers as responsevariables and the density of the different typologies of cultural heritage elements as explanatoryvariables and different control variables. Different models with temporal and transversal effectshave been estimated, aimed at evaluating the contribution of different typologies of cultural heritageon traveler flows. The results show that cultural heritage has a significant effect on tourist flows inAndalusia, but with a different distribution depending on the type of flow and the typology of thetourist destination.
