The study area and its main features
became more complex this broad knowledge of flows became less than adequate in
describing tourist impacts and demands. The WCTFS was designed to enhance the
knowledge of these flows along with the patterns of local visitations and income
generation. Its goal was also to underwrite the development of tourist flow models
based on patterns which described ways in which tourists constructed itineraries.
That is a brief background of the milieu and genesis of the WCTFS. The actual
analysis of the data proved rather too fruitful to cover comprehensively here, but it
can be explored in depth in Forer and Simmons (

technique is briefly explained below. The positive outcomes of the survey rested
largely on a low rejection rate amongst those approached to participate, a high
