Resumo: Temporary stays of students in higher education institutions, outside places of their habitual residence, may be considered as academic tourism. Driven by different exchange programs this new typology of tourism has experienced a significant growth in recent years. Parallel to this development, it seems interesting to estimate the economic impact generated in the target areas by this student mobility in which universities play a key role. In this study we have started of spending generated by international students during the course 2007/2008, to quantify the economic impact of academic tourism in Galicia.
