"Tourist Flows in Historic Cities: The Case of Venice." Journal of Economic and Social Geography (Volume 86 Issue 1, p.80-87)
Armando Montanari and Calogero Muscara
This most recent 2008 case study would be very useful to us if we can obtain one through the Wiley InterScience website. I have yet to ask the school librarian for help on this issue but we could definitely stand to benefit from the article as it claims to contain a "nine fold classification of tourists" highlighting important differences in perceptiveness, receptiveness, spatial behavior, and spending power. It contains a thorough analysis of the different types of tourists that visit Venice, their socioeconomic impact, and their preferred mode(s) of transportation. It also provides clues as to which neighboring areas profit off of providing transportation to Venice and how foreign agencies control where money is spent and may not necessarily benefit Venice the city itself. Our group will have to follow up on this lead, however, as it is not the main premise of this journal.

Update: We did end up getting a pdf of the file thanks to Laura Hanlan at the WPI library. You can access it here:
