Descripción
This paper empirically analyses how Spanish HSR (its existence and the growth of the network) conditions the number of foreign visitors, per country of origin, in the six regions linked by HSR. A fixed effects model has been applied to a new panel database (1997?2016) compiled with official statistics from surveys of tourists at borders, rather than through the traditional approach of considering hotel overstays. The results by country of origin show, for the main nationalities, that the influx of tourists is not dependent on the existence or expansion of HSR. However, the analysis at the regional level suggests that HSR benefits trips within mainland Spain to some coastal tourist destinations while its impact on visitor numbers in inland regions may be irrelevant or even negative. Finally, the enlargement of the HSR network may favour the regions in a central position in the network, encouraging further competition between the tourist destinations located at HSR network nodes.
