This paper attempts to distill the relationship among spatial structure, consumer preferences, and spatial interaction. It introduces the notion of substitutability. Destinations are substitutable in both economic‐behavioral and physical‐locational senses. Inadequate treatment of this can lead to variations in the estimated parameters of conventional spatial interaction models.
