| description | The patterns of expenditure on major tourist products by Singaporean tourists are analysed. The total
household expenditure of the tourists is highly significant in influencing expenditure on transport, food,
accommodation, recreational services and souvenirs. The elasticities of expenditure for the tourist products
are 0.84 for food items, 0.63 for transport, 0.79 for accommodation, 1.32 for recreational services and 1.49 for
souvenirs. Based on the expenditure coefficient, food, transport and accommodation are classified as
necessities, while services and souvenirs tend to be considered as luxuries by tourists. |
