Monitoring tourism flows and destination management: Empirical evidence for Portugal 2016-03-26 .txt text/plain 5188 240 51 We propose the use of a tool recently introduced by Gayer (2010), known as the "economic climate tracer", to analyze and monitor the cyclical evolution of tourism source markets to Portugal. On the contrary, tourism from the Netherlands and the UK, have displayed irregular patterns, which demonstrates the urgency to diversify tourism source markets to reduce the country's vulnerability to external shocks and economic cycles. These short cycles were observed in tourism from all sources, with the exception of tourism coming from Germany, which exhibited positive and increasing growth rates (Fig. 3a) . We analyze the tourism flows of domestic tourists and tourists coming from the main international source markets -Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK -which together represent on average 75.0% of the total number of overnight stays in the country. ./cache/cord-253720-s6hwui6n.txt ./txt/cord-253720-s6hwui6n.txt
