Abstract
The objective of this study was to know the determinant of traveled expenditure and
the number of visitors at some tourist destinations in Semarang District. By using
primary data obtained from survey to the tourists who were visiting. Methods of analysis
with econometric approach through logistic regression and ordinary least squares (OLS).
The determinants number of visitors were the experience of visiting, travel costs,
revenue, budget allocations traveled in a month, age, gender, and the origin of the
respondents, while the determinants of traveled expenditure were revenue, perception,
distance, and number of family members.
Keywords number of visitors, traveled expenditure
1. Introduction
The Semarang District is a district in Central Java Province whose capital is Ungaran.
Administrative boundaries are bordered by Semarang City and Demak District in the north,
Boyolali District istrict and Grobogan District in the south, Kendal District and Temanggung
District in the west. Salatiga district is at the middle of the Semarang District. Semarang
District has natural tourism, cultural, historical heritage of war, and the interesting history of
technology.
One of the economic activities which until now needs to be improved in the Semarang
District is the tourism sector, because tourism is a sector that is very complex and
multidimensional whether physical, social, cultural, economic and political. Tourism activities
includes not only foreign and domestic tourists, but also some activities that provide services

2. Materials and methods
Travel cost model applied in this study. It assumes that individual demand for the
recreation to tourism site is affected by the cost of travel, individual preferences, as well as
socio-economic characteristics or socioeconomic or demographic characteristics. Thus, the
general form is expressed in the form of mathematical notation functionality of the model to
be estimated is as follows:
væv æ = ) , çrxçü, xüçô, æ› ç › +,

where the number of individual visits is a proxy of individual requests for recreation to
tourism site is affected by the cost of travel, individual preferences, as well as socio-economic
characteristics. In econometrics, Eq. (1) above can be written again as follows:
væv æ = m +
