| Abstract: | This study analyzes the behavior of repeat visitors to a cultural resource, in this case the Museum of Antioquia in Medellin (Colombia), by estimating travel cost model. The empirical results highlight issues such as women are more likely to re-visit the museum that age is also an important variable as is the employment status of visitors and income level. These results are a key tool to the strategic positioning of the museum and cultural tourism. A brief discussion is presented as well as management actions are recommended. |

| Abstract: | International tourism trade relations often operate ‘outside’ national territorialities of law. In holiday destinations without mass tourism, tour operators usually rely on local service providers to produce the tourist package tour on-site. Because tour operators are not always able to establish effective governance mechanisms with their local service providers, loss of their business – and in the worst case bankruptcy – can cause significant economic costs. The paper discusses the efficiency of tour operators’ strategies to deal with such constitutional uncertainty and to impose ‘self-enforcement’. The extensive empirical case study at hand enriches our understanding of private ordering in the service sector and thus contributes to the conceptual discussion within the New Institutional Economics of International Transactions (NIEIT). |

| Abstract: | North American cities have long encouraged redevelopment of their downtown cores to counteract the flight of residents and business to the suburbs in the postwar period. Building subsidized arenas and stadiums for professional sports teams downtown became common in the 1960s. In recent years, downtown stadiums and arenas have been proposed as components in larger redevelopment projects containing a number of other amenities, as well, including housing and other entertainment attractions. The justification for such developments rests in part on the public goods generated by vibrant, prosperous downtowns. Yet little is known about the value of such downtown public goods. This paper reports the results of two Contingent Valuation Method surveys to determine willingness to pay for new National Hockey League arenas in downtown Edmonton and Calgary in the Canadian province of Alberta. The hypothetical scenarios in both surveys varied to include affordable housing, a casino, and cultural space in addition to the arena. The surveys provide the first estimates of willingness to pay for downtown public goods for sports arenas, and also provide the first estimates of scope effects, that is, the willingness to pay for expansions of public goods, in the sports economics literature.
