This paper produces an innovative model of tourism development by creatively amalgamating the framework of agglomeration economics with discrete choice and oligopolistic competition. Consumer choice is examined simultaneously from a dual perspective (discretely at the inter-resort level and continuously in the context of intra-resort consumption) to encapsulate systemic and probabilistic factors. In conjunction with the treatment of dynamic issues, the paper then performs a welfare analysis by comparing the spatio-temporal configuration under a social planner with the one of a decentralized regime. Finally, policy considerations and directions for future research and operationalization are drawn.
