摘要：
The paper examines how new airport infrastructure influences regional tourism. Identification is based on the conversion of a military airbase into a regional commercial airport in the German state of Bavaria. The new airport opened in 2007 and promotes travelling to the touristic region of Allgau in the Bavarian Alps. A synthetic control approach is used to show that the new commercial airport increased tourism in the Allgau region over the period 2008-16. The positive effect is especially pronounced in the county in which the airport is located. The results suggest that new transportation infrastructure promotes regional economic development.
