A theoretical approach to tourism sustainability (2002, background): “As some extensive reviews on the topic clearly demonstrate (Witt and Witt 1995, Kulendran and King 1997), the classical models for tourism are black-box econometric models (aimed mainly at forecasting demand for travel services or the number of tourist arrivals as a function of income,…”
An empirical study of outbound tourism demand in the UK (2000, methodology): “Previous studies normally use a trend variable to capture these e ects on tourism demand,2 but the use of a trend as a proxy for the change in consumers’ preferences has been criticized by many researchers: see for example, Witt and Witt (1995).”

A meta-analysis of international tourism demand forecasting and implications for practice (2014, background): “In their literature review of empirical research, Witt and Witt (1995) found that it is not possible to build a single econometric model that is appropriate for all origin-destination pairs.”
The impact of the UK aviation tax on carbon dioxide emissions and visitor numbers (2007, result): “For UK travellers, this translates into an elasticity of 0.45, which compares well to the estimates of Crouch (1995), Witt and Witt (1995) and Wohlgemuth (1997) but is low compared to the elasticities found by Oum et al. (1990), Brons et al. (2002) and Gillen et al. (2004).”
