Some main results are highlighted: (1) A short-term, long-term, and causal relationship between observed variables of tourism in developing countries, developed countries, and emerging countries. (2) A set of quantitative research methods in time series was used for analysis. (3) propose some future research directions. The former results contributed to the identification of the role of tourism in economic development, thereby building a strategy for exploiting and developing sustainable tourism.
