Table 2: Communities in the world tourism network. Moreover, an insight into results (Table 2, Figure 6) reveals the underlying geographical proximity as a rule for communities' partitioning (with a few exceptions, of course). Since no such rule was enforced, it is safe to assume that the observation arises from the tourists' propensity to travel over shorter distances and, as such, create more links with more weight to neighboring countries.
