To investigate the causal relationship between China’s domestic tourism and economic growth, this paper performs co-integration analysis and Granger causality test by making use of annual time series data from 1984 to 2009. Co-integration analysis indicates that there are long-term and stable equilibrium relationships between the development of China’s domestic tourism and economic growth. The ...

This paper presents a case concerning domestic tourism on the Isle of Man, British Isles. Qualitative interviews find existence of considerable domestic tourism activity conducted by island residents. This includes daytrips and overnight stays within the island. Such behaviour is identified by residents as touristic and distinct from other leisure activities. Particular activities and motivatio...

In this paper, we model and forecast Australian domestic tourism demand. We use a regression framework to estimate important economic relationships for domestic tourism demand. We also identify the impact of world events such as the 2000 Sydney Olympics and the 2002 Bali bombings on Australian domestic tourism. To explore the time series nature of the data, we use innovation state space models ...

This study examines the role of tourism development in reducing regional income inequality in China. First, the theoretical foundation for how tourism affects regional income inequality is discussed. Second, based on the conditional convergence framework, this study proposes a spatiotemporal autoregressive model to capture spatial and temporal dependence as well as spatial heterogeneity. Touris...

This paper examines empirically the tourism impact on the long-run economic growth of Greece by using the causality analysis among real gross domestic product, real effective exchange rate and international tourism earnings. A multivariate autoregressive VAR model is applied for the examined period 1960:Ι – 2000:IV. The results of cointegration analysis suggested that there is one cointegrated ...

Planning and implementing strategies and programs to develop tourism has long been a priority issue for policy makers and decision makers. Hence, the interest in quantitative methods for assessing the extent to which possible modifications of some determinants can affect the tourism flows of the destination country. Besides, over the last decades, in Italy as well as in many other destinations ...

Interstate tourism is an important component of the domestic tourism business in Australia. However, empirical analyses of interstate tourism demand have not been previously undertaken. The motivation for this paper is to investigate the shortand long-run causal relationships between economic factors and interstate tourism demand in Australia. Using a cointegration approach, this study discover...

Planning and implementing strategies to develop tourism has long been a priority issue for policy makers and decision makers: hence, a remarkable interest for quantitative methods aimed to assess the extent to which possible modifications of some determinants can affect the tourism flows of the destination country. Over the last decades, indeed, in Italy as well as in many other destinations wo...
