The degree of persistence may reáect the extent to which the shocks a§ecting the series are themselves persistent or may be a consequence of diverse structural factors in the economy. Hence, the main objective of this paper is to investigate whether tourism series display both stationary and nonstationary features within the sample period considered.engPersistence changeNonstationarityTourism demandStationarityconference object
