Abstract

China's tourism industry has mainly focused on inbound tourism. Starting in 1995, the Chinese government introduced a weekend holiday system, and this policy served as an opportunity to develop China's domestic tourism industry. Thanks to the golden week system introduced in 1999, domestic tourism in China has grown explosively. Accordingly, social overhead capital such as railways, aviation, and highways was rapidly expanded. From then on, the tourism industry developed simultaneously into inbound tourism, domestic tourism, and outbound tourism. It is examine the volatility spillover effect between stock returns and exchange rates for Chinese tourism companies. For the empirical analysis, we use the BEKK-GARCH model of Engle and Kroner (1995). From the empirical analysis, we find the following results. First, the shock that occurred in the previous year was found to have a statistically significant positive effect on the current stock return rate and exchange rate change rate. Second, all conditional volatility spillover effect coefficients were found to have a statistically significant positive effect. Third, a negative spillover effect was found to occur between exchange rate volatility and Shanghai Composite Stock Index returns.
