Lill's law
The Lillsche Travel Act - also Lillsches Act , Travel Act Lill or law Lill - is one of Eduard Lill described gravity model that explains the behavior of travelers regarding the dependence of the number of passengers between two places from travel-related characteristics of the places and the trip distance.
The number of travelers per unit of time is the quotient of the multiplication of the “travel value” of the source location and “attraction value” by the square of the distance between the locations. Measures for the travel and the attraction value are z. B. population , household income , tourism or other service offers of the places.
Today, this rather outdated and simple travel law is being replaced by extensive studies and statements in supply-related destination management on the one hand and in demand-related travel analyzes on the other.
