چکیده
The spatial behaviour of tourists has a large impact on the economic situation of a tourist destination. Stakeholders such as city councils have a strong interest in evaluating spatial behaviour to avoid misallocation of their scarce resources. In addition, individual service providers need to know where the tourists are in order to offer appropriate services and market them more effectively. The following paper suggests a methodology to analyse the spatial behaviours of tourists based on real tracking data. This method was applied during a field study in the city of Görlitz.
