This paper analyzes the determinants of spending by cultural tourists, considering the particular case of visitors to three different museums in the city of Medellın, Colombia. Based on 434 survey data collected from visitors to the museum at the end of his visit during the period June to October 2011, using a double-hurdle econometric model, the paper estimates the effect of different variables on the amount and the likelihood of visitor spending at a microeconomic level.
The results show that the expenditure on various items of tourism activity raises the likelihood of spending as well as the amount to spend on accommodation and food items and drinks. Particularly there is a proportional increase in all major components within the tourism expenditure, i.e., transportation, lodging and meals.
