Abstract

The shift-share method is applied in order to divide a regional value’s change into separate components. The present paper aims to divide the percentage change of the number of overnight stays that took place in hotel and campsite accommodations in the thirteen Greek administrative regions between the years 2003 and 2015 into separate components, by applying the above mentioned method. Arrivals and overnight stays’ data for domestic and international visitors were used for the division of the percentage change of the total number of overnight stays.
