Nested pared combinatorial logit model to analyze recreational touring behaviour

This study focuses on road planning in tourism according to a viewpoint of regional activation. The influence of travel time reduction caused by improvements of the road network to connect each tourist site in the area on touring travel behaviour are examined. The influence is evaluated by the increase of traffic flows on routes and the number of tourists visiting the sites. In predicting recreational touring behaviour, a problem may arise that the alternatives of route and destination choice models are not exclusive and independent. Then, the results of conventional models such as the multinomial logit (MNL) model will be misleading in future demand forecasting. Nested Paired combinatorial logit (PCL) models are newly developed in order to predict route and destination choice behavior.
