- Topic
- Pilgrimage and Religion in India: An Econometric Analysis Using the Domestic Tourism Expenditure Survey
- Speaker
- Asuka YAMAMOTO (Ph.D. Candidate, Graduate School of Economics, Kobe University)
- Abstract
- This study empirically analyses Indian people's travel behavior, especially overnight domestic trips for pilgrimage. OLS and Multinomial Logistic regression were undertaken to understand the relationship of the trip purpose and destination with religion and usual monthly per capita consumer expenditure (MPCE) by using the Domestic Tourism Expenditure Survey, which conducted as part of the 72nd round (2014-2015) of the National Sample Survey (NSS). The result shows that the odds of going to travel increases with MPCE for whole domestic trips. However, there is a negative relationship between MPCE and trips in the case of pilgrimage purposes. Differences in religion also affect trip behavior, and MPCE positively affects the religious trip outside one's state.
