Dr. Siddalingappa

Abstract: The economic growth of nations and regions is greatly influenced by tourism. For efficient tourism planning and development, it is essential to comprehend visitor spending trends. This study employs an inter-regional comparison analysis to reveal the spending habits of tourists in the Indian state of Karnataka. The study intends to pinpoint differences in consumer spending patterns across several Karnataka regions and offer insights into the variables affecting visitor spending. Utilising statistical tools, data from a thorough survey of tourists visiting a variety of locations in Karnataka are examined to identify expenditure trends and the consequences for the growth of local tourism. The results help to improve our understanding of tourist behaviour and offer insightful advice for local companies, policymakers, and tourism planners on how to maximise tourism revenue creation.
