Resumo: Domestic tourism in the different Spanish Regions constitutes an increasingly relevant source of wealth, hence, the importance of empirical studies that facilitate the adoption of specific policies for each territory. Through the use of gravity models, the objective of the study is to determine the behavior patterns of this sector in order to facilitate the public and private decisions made to promote its development. The analysis has been performed by differentiating between each type of accommodation due the specific nature of the tourists who are users of these accommodations. Furthermore, the Spanish regions are grouped into four areas according to their geographical similarity. The results reveal that it is not possible to adopt general measures for the entire Spanish territory. Price competitiveness and other socioeconomic variables affect the areas analyzed very differently.
