Economic Impact Of Tourism Research Articles

Stages of Tourism Economy Penetration and the Phenomenon of Overtourism on Caribbean Islands

The purpose of the article is to determine the degree of tourism penetration on 30 island countries and dependencies of the Caribbean region. This tourism penetration is perceived as part of research in two dimensions: economic and socio-spatial. As a result of adopting such a perspective, stages of tourism penetration were determined using two indicators constructed for the research. The Tourism Economic Impact Index (TEI) measured the economic dimension, while the second indicator was the Tourist Socio-spatial Impact Index (TSI). Determining the degree of tourism penetration on these two dimensions was to identify those areas most exposed to economic threats resulting from ‘tourism monoculture’ (the final penetration phase of a tourism economy) and, as defined to discuss overtourism, the risks arising from too many inbound visitors at the same time. The research revealed that Caribbean dependent territories show the tendency to the highest penetration in both dimensions. Further analysis was made into the economic assessment of the phenomenon of ‘tourism monoculture’ and the dangers of this extreme form of export-oriented specialisation in the context of socio-economic development. Despite presenting positive premises, the phenomenon was critically assessed.

Akdeniz Ülkelerinde Turizm Sektörünün Ekonomik Etkinliğinin Değerlendirilmesi

Countries in the Mediterranean basin have an important place in world tourism in terms of tourism destinations. The contribution of these countries, which are an important part of world tourism mobility, to the national economy in the context of tourism sector has been examined in many studies. However, there is no study about the economic activities of the countries in this basin. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the economic activities of the tourism sector in the countries whose data can be accessed from international tourism destinations evaluated within the scope of the Mediterranean country. In the study, efficiency comparison was made by using four input and two output variables related to the economic efficiency of the tourism sector of the nineteen countries whose data are available. In this study, domestic tourism expenditures, leisure time expenditures, business travel expenditures and investments in travel and tourism industry were used as input variables. In order to ensure the homogeneity of the variables, the data of the countries for 2017 are taken from the Travel and Tourism Economic Impact (WTTC 2018) reports. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to measure the economic efficiency of countries. DEA is a non-parametric linear programming method used to estimate efficiency and capacity utilization, effectively defining the production limit. According to the findings, the top five countries are Cyprus, Algeria, Libya, Italy and Albania, respectively.

Explaining cruisers’ shore expenditure through a latent class tobit model: Evidence from the Canary Islands

This study analyzes the expenditure patterns of cruise ship passengers during stopovers in the Canary Islands, which is a key variable for evaluating the economic impact of this type of tourism from the point of view of local key stakeholders and residents. Information on cruisers’ expenditure was collected in each port of call by survey responses for six cruise seasons, during the period 2001–2015. Through a latent class model in a framework of censured regression, three distinct groups of passengers were identified. This approach fills a gap in the empirical tourism literature in order to achieve more accurate results to deal with cruise travelers’ heterogeneity. Moreover, the identification of these homogeneous groups is important so as to better design policies that allow for higher tourism economic impact onshore. Our findings suggest that it would be ideal to attract more class 1 cruise passengers.

Assessing the Dynamic Economic Impact of Tourism in a Developing Region in South Africa

According to the National Development Plan (NDP), the three main developmental problems South Africa is facing include: high levels of unemployment, poverty and inequality. Tourism, as an economic sector, has been cited as a possible solution to create much-needed employment and income which could lead to reduced poverty and improved inequality. Tourism could be used in developing regions as a driver of economic growth. The objective of this study is to determine the dynamic impact of the tourism sector on economic growth in a developing region in South Africa, namely the Vaal-Triangle region. The research methodology followed a quantitative design, using a pooled panel approach including the two municipal areas of Metsimaholo and Emfuleni which comprises the Vaal region. Annual data from 2001 to 2017 were used to analyse the impact of growth in tourism on economic growth. Economic growth was set as the dependent variable and tourism measurements such as tourism spending and trips as the independent variables. Results from the analysis confirm the original hypothesis that tourism growth has a significant impact on economic growth. The sector therefore, has the potential to create employment opportunities and alleviate poverty in a developing region if promoted and supported to its full potential.

The economic impact of tourism in Central Finland: a regional input–output study

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the total economic impact of tourism at the regional level in Central Finland. This paper aims to clarify the extent to which tourism contributes to regional output, employment, income and taxes in tourism-related sectors.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on a regional input–output analysis. The author calculates the effects of tourism on regional output, demand, wages, employment and national and regional taxes in Central Finland.FindingsThe author’s regional input–output analysis reveals that tourism has a substantial impact on production in Central Finland (including the direct and indirect effects of consumption by tourists in different sectors). Moreover, the effects of tourism expenditures on employment and residents’ incomes in tourism-related sectors in Central Finland are quite significant.Research limitations/implicationsMany limitations of this study stem from the assumptions of the input–output model. Other limitations relate to the analysis of the impacts of tourism on household taxes, savings, consumption and net income. Our study uses average figures, which may overstate the effect of tourist expenditures on taxes because tourism jobs are often low paying.Practical implicationsThe study yields results that can be used to frame regional policy. The results may be useful for policymakers in planning for tourist attractions. Furthermore, local authorities may use the results to guide decisions regarding infrastructure investments or improvements to the operating environment of tourism industries.Originality/valueMany studies analyse the economic impact of events at the regional level using input–output analysis. National-level tourism impact studies using the input–output technique have also been conducted. Studies focussed on the economic impact of tourism at the regional level typically examine the macroeconomic (income, output and employment) effects of tourism. Consequently, these studies have focussed on estimating output, employment and income multipliers (Mazumder et al., 2012). The author’s contribution is a regional input–output analysis of direct and indirect impacts of tourism expenditures on production, demand, wages, income and employment in the whole economy at the regional level (in Central Finland). The author also analyses the impacts of tourism on national and regional taxes. The results of this study could be used by planners and policymakers involved in regional planning and development.

TANTANGAN PENGEMBANGAN PARIWISATA DI DAERAH PINGGIRAN

The development of tourism in peripheral areas is seen as a product diversification in the tourism destination and an appropriate strategy for developing the peripheral areas itself. Tourism is considered to address the main issues of development in peripheral areas, themselves particularly unemployment and urbanization. However, there are challenges of tourism development in peripheral areas due to the relationship with the center of tourism development areas. Based on the case of tourism development in “Taman Nasional Bali Barat” (TNBB), this article examines the challenges of tourism development in peripheral areas. The examination showed that tourism in TNBB has a dependence on the center of tourism development in Bali. This is shown that the economic impact of tourism in TNBB toward local community has not been significant. Tourism in TNBB have not been able to diversify the economic based of local community, so that the surrounding communities in TNBB still depends on the utilization of natural resources in the conservation area.

Local Communities Perceptions on Rural Tourism Competitive Advantage: A Study on Kampung Bako (Bako National Park), Kuching, Sarawak

Rural tourism in Malaysia has been designated as a potential segment to give a boost to the tourism industry in further up the value chain; it is also a natural and ready-made vehicle for the rural community to develop their local area economically and infrastructurally. The development of tourism destination, however, should own a capacity in maximising the competitive advantage to be effective and yet sustainable. This study examines the perspective of local community on the relationship between economic, socio-cultural, and environmental impacts on tourism, stakeholder involvement, and community tourism knowledge with rural competitive advantage. 150 residents of a rural tourism destination in Sarawak, Malaysia voluntarily took part in this study. SmartPLS 2.0 (M3) was applied, to assess the developed model, based on path modelling. Subsequently, to generate the standard error of the estimate and t-values, bootstrapping with 500 re-samples was applied. The findings suggested that stakeholder’s involvement in tourism, community support for tourism, and economic impact of tourism have had a significant positive impact on rural competitive advantage; community knowledge of tourism and environmental and socio-cultural impacts of tourism, did not have a significant impact on the same. The implications arising from these findings are then been further discussed.

Sustainability Analysis of Tourism in India

In the recent past, understanding and practice of sustainability in tourism are becoming increasingly important to both academicians and tourism planners. In the last two decades, the attainment of sustainable development and the protection of touristic assets have been at the forefront of central policy issues in global tourism development. In addition to social and economic impact of tourism, overuse of natural resources and climate change are leading to the importance of drive for sustainable tourism development. Consequently, there is a growing research interest in investigating the performance of countries, especially in terms of environmental efficiency. In this article, the authors have empirically explored socio-economic efficiency of the top ten performing countries and India. Their basic content is summarised, along with the major findings. In this way, both measurement of countries' performance and the nonparametric approach of DEA have been given deserved attention. Tourism benchmarking and the assessment of tourism management performances are a crucial and challenging task in the direction of evaluating tourism sustainability and reshaping tourism activities. The proposed efficiency assessment procedure is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a methodology for evaluating the relative efficiency when facing multiple input and output. Although the methodology is extremely versatile, for the sake of exemplification, in this article it is applied to the evaluation and comparison of sustainable tourism management of India.

The influence of Malaysian students’ travel motives on their intentions to discover new places and things

ABSTRACTAccording to the WTTC [2015. “Travel and Tourism Economic Impact 2015 Malaysia”] Economic Impact Report on Malaysia, outbound tourism expenditure in 2014 was 37.3 billion Malaysian Ringgit (approximately USD 9 billion). It is expected to reach 78.7 billion Malaysian Ringgit by 2025 (approximately USD 19 billion). This study adapts the Leisure Motivation Scale and proposes a theoretical model with seven hypotheses. Structural equation modelling with maximum likelihood method is used to test all relationships simultaneously from the 569 responses using Amos 20.0. The findings suggest that pursuing challenge and exploration, relaxation and building relationships on vacation influence the perception of the importance of experiencing adventure. Additionally, the positive effect of the perception of the importance of experiencing adventure on the intention to discover new places and things was also verified. The new insights generated from these test findings are unique as they reflect on an unexplored market segment in the Association of South East Asian Nations Region.

The impact of private accommodation on economic development of tourist destination-the case of Dubrovnik-Neretva County

Private accommodation capacities are a growing segment of the lodging industry in Croatia. In private accommodation capacities 2,684 million tourists were registered in 2010, there were 19,4 million overnight stays, which makes 25% of total arrivals and 34% of total overnights. Although studies have been made on economic impact of tourism on a destination (at the national level), the issues of the impact of private accommodation haven't been given due attention. Consequently, the aim of this paper is to estimate the importance of private accommodation in development of tourist destination on regional level through consumption of tourists accommodated in private capacities, as well as to confirm that tourism receipts realised in private capacities have a positive impact on regional economic development.
