Pathways to prosperity
This study investigates the effects of tourism industry training (TIT) on poverty alleviation, considering both direct and indirect pathways. Integrating labour mobility theory, human capital theory, and the tourism-led growth (TLG) hypothesis, we propose a new theoretical framework. Based on panel data from 29 Chinese provinces between 2000 and 2019, the empirical results show that TIT has a significant negative effect on poverty level, depth, a…
Digitalisation as a vehicle of expansion of tourism industry
Despite increased interest both from scholars and policymakers, most research on digital transformation in the tourism sector focuses on demand-side factors. However, supply-side factors, specifically how the adaptation of information and communication technology benefits the industry, are somewhat scant. Applying Institutions and Economic Theory , this study examines the role of digitalisation in tourism development by employing the advanced bia…
The effect of climate change on different types of international visitors in Western Australia
This paper examines the effects of climate change on tourist arrivals to Western Australia, which we classify according to the purpose of their visit (business, education, holiday, visitors of friends and relatives (VFR), and employment). We construct a temperature variability indicator that measures the deviation of extreme temperatures from the average temperature. Overall, the results reveal that temperature variabilities have long-term dimini…
Can immigration moderate the adverse effects of political instability on international tourism? A case study of Australia
We estimate the impact of political instability and the population of immigrants in Australia on the flow of international tourist arrivals. We hypothesize that political instability has a short-term negative effect while the population of immigrants in Australia may have a positive or negative effect depending on time span. Moreover, we postulate that the population of immigrants resorbs in the short run partially or totally the adverse effect o…
Can tourism market diversification mitigate the adverse effects of a blockade on tourism? Evidence from Qatar
This study examines the effects of an unfavorable political event or environmental hostility, namely, a blockade affecting international tourist inflows, and how tourism market diversification (TMD) could mitigate the adverse effects in the case of Qatar. To quantify these effects, we adopted a standard tourism-demand model and augmented it with a Herfindahl index (HI) for the geographical diversification of tourism exports, a dummy variable for …
Can ‘too much' trust slow tourism development? An exploratory cross-country analysis
This paper investigates a relationship between countries’ trust and tourism development using data drawn from the World Value Survey. We hypothesize that social trust creates a positive influence on tourism development. However, this paper finds that, beyond a certain level of average social trust, more trust may have a negative impact on tourism development. We suggest that in-depth analysis is required to examine how social trust can promote or…
The Moderation Effects of Political Instability and Terrorism on Tourism Development
Looking at the current political turmoil across the globe, this study aims to analyze the effects of interaction between political instability and terrorism on tourism development using panel data from 139 countries for the period 1999–2009. The study measures the extent to which a country’s political conflicts and terrorism can negatively impact its tourism industry. The results reveal that the effect of political instability on tourism is far m…
