Resumo: Tourism demand for Andalusia (southern region of Spain), from European countries, is measured through the number of tourists staying in hotel establishments, during the year 2017. A simple econometric model explains this demand, using elasticities, through the GDP of each country and the distance in kilometers from that country to Andalusia. Obtaining a slope close to the unit with respect to GDP allows us to define a new variable, the demand relativised by GDP, and to model it based on distance. The negative slope of this new modeling allows the formulation of policies that bring the European countries closer to Andalusia if demand is to be increased.
