The impact of tourism industry on the economic growth of Pakistan

The fundamental plan of the study is to explore the impact of tourism receipt on Pakistan’s gross domestic product growth and use the data set from 1995 to 2019. This study employed ARDL techniques for estimation. The study reveals that the economic growth (later on GGDP) has been favourably and significantly affected by the labour force, foreign direct investment, exchange rate, and gross national expenditure. However, gross capital formation and human capital showed an encouraging outcome on the economy in the long period but showed unfavourable and noteworthy effects in the short period. The tourism receipt and inflation rate have a favourable and noteworthy influence on the GGDP in the long run, but they have an inconsequential impact on the GGDP in the near run. This study concluded that tourism receipt has significantly influenced Pakistan’s GGDP. This study recommended that the government should focus on the promotion of tourism in Pakistan to earn more revenue and enhance economic growth. The government also devised feasible and flexible policies and has provided facilities to attract foreign tourists for the country’s economic development.

CRUISE TOURISM: TENDENCIES OF THE INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT IN THE PERIOD OF UNCERTAINTY

The modern cruise industry is a dynamic industry globally integrated into the world economy that is continuously developing. Cruise tours become more and more popular among tourists. Before the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, cruise tourism was highly developed and was one of the most rapidly growing industries of the global tourism. The full-scale russian invasion of Ukraine has affected the cruise industry, especially in the Black Sea region.

The research indicates negative processes of recession and cessation of the development of sea tourism in Ukraine caused by the full-scale attack of russia. The study makes a conclusion that the Black Sea region can definitely become an independent cruise direction in a mid-term perspective, the home port for liners, independent routes will be available and motor ships of different classes will sail in it.

Transfer of Land Ownership and Marginalization as Impact of Tourism Industry

Tourism has emerged as one of the foremost industries experiencing rapid growth. Over the past few decades, the sector has witnessed continuous development in Indonesia, evident from the increasing number of foreign tourist arrivals. The rapid growth of tourism in various regions has undeniably yielded positive impacts on both investment and the overall economy. However, it has also given rise to a multitude of challenges that need to be addressed. One of the challenges pertains to the issue of land ownership, specifically concerning the acquisition of residents' lands surrounding tourist destinations by foreign individuals, which is strictly prohibited under Indonesian law. Therefore, a comparative analysis between Indonesia and Malaysia is needed to identify regulation problems to potentially increase cases of legal smuggling of foreign land ownership transfers. This study explains the practice of land ownership by foreigners in the Pesisir Barat District of Lampung, along with the associated problems analyzed through a socio-legal approach. The results show that tourism undeniably benefits the economic sector, and resulted in legal infringements concerning land ownership, leading to the marginalization and displacement of local communities. This study adopts a comparative law method, elucidating the respective provisions of both Indonesia and Malaysia, supplemented by a normative juridical approach to examine legal principles, regulations, and systematics through the examination of relevant library materials. Consequently, it is essential to enhance the regulations surrounding the transfer of land to foreigners, including Foreign Citizens and Foreign Legal Entities with representatives in Indonesia, emulating the stringent land tenure restrictions imposed by Malaysia on foreign nationals.

Examining the role of tourism industry in green economic and environmental performance: does structural change matter in Asia?

Tourism has become an increasingly significant contributor to economic growth in Asia. However, the rapid expansion of the tourism industry has also raised concerns about its impact on the environment and economic sustainability. Meanwhile, the structural transformation of economies in Asia has also been a major factor in shaping the region's environmental and economic performance. Thus, the present study aims to explore the impact of the tourism industry and structural change on green economic and environmental performance in Asia. Limited empirical evidence exists on the impact of tourism industry and structural change on CO2 emissions and green growth. The objective of this current study is to examine how tourism industry and structural change impact green economic and environmental performance over the period 1993 to 2020. For analyzing short- and long-run results across different quantiles, we have employed a nonlinear QARDL model that can provide estimates across different quantiles. The findings of the CO2 emissions model imply that long-term improvements in tourism and structural changes significantly reduce CO2 emissions. In contrast, the long-term negative changes in tourism and structural changes increase CO2 emissions. In the green growth model, long-term improvements in tourism and structural changes significantly improve green growth; however, the long-term decline in tourism and structural changes significantly reduce green growth. Moreover, the control variable of ICT reduces CO2 emissions and improves green growth, and energy consumption increases CO2 emissions and reduces green growth.

Unleashing the dynamic impact of tourism industry on energy consumption, economic output, and environmental quality in China: A way forward towards environmental sustainability

Tourism industry significantly enhances consumption, creates employment, and becomes a new engine of economic growth worldwide. However, tourism-led growth is attained at the cost of environmental damages, as tourism-related activities require higher energy consumption. We also included globalization, energy consumption, and economic growth to normalize the tourism industry sub-sectors environmental impacts. The ARDL bound testing and Gradual shift causality methods are used to analyze the environmental impacts of the tourism industry for the data spanning from 2001Q1 to 2019Q4. The outcomes indicate that tourism-related food and beverage services contribute to higher greenhouse gas emissions, especially N2O and CH4. However, compared with other sub-sectors, CO2 is primarily contributed by the tourism-traveling sector in the long run. Similarly, the food and beverages services also contribute highly to all air pollutants except PM2.5, while shopping and entertainment is the most significant sector contributing to N2O, CH4, and all other air pollutants in the long run. Moreover, all tourism industry sub-sectors have a significant and favorable impact on energy consumption and economic growth, whereas tourism-linked traveling consumes higher energy. Likewise, shopping and entertainment contribute more to economic growth than other sub-sectors. Interestingly, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollutants are adversely affected by globalization in the long run. Causality results reveal that all the tourism industry sub-sectors Granger cause most of the greenhouse gasses and air pollutants. The key initiatives are also provided for policy implications.

Impact of tourism industry, globalization, and technology innovation on ecological footprints in G-10 countries

In the past couple of years, most of the countries observed an increase in the size of their ecological footprints. Therefore, researchers and policymakers are now more focused on the potential drivers through which the ecological deficiency can be reduced. In the same context, this study evaluates international tourism, globalization, and technology innovation effects on the ecological footprints of G-10 countries over the period of 1995–2019. This study initially applied second-generation cross-sectional dependency, unit root, and cointegration tests. The long-run and short-run estimates were obtained through the Cross-Sectional ARDL method. The study’s empirical findings demonstrate that tourism, globalization, and economic growth significantly contributed to ecological footprint, while technology innovation reduced the environmental burden, thus leads to a decline in ecological footprints of sample countries. These results suggest the use of alternate energy resources and advanced technology in the tourism industry.

Research on the Tourism Industry Impact of the National Games Based on Grayscale Models

In this paper, gray prediction is used to predict the later development data of the year without the participation of the National Games, which is compared with the real value of the later year. Then fit all provinces with tourism data in China with the data in Shaanxi Province, and select the better fitting provinces Jiangxi, Shanxi and Yunnan as the standard to test the gray prediction results. For the area substitution error in gray prediction, Lagrange interpolation is used to calculate a new background value for optimization. Finally, the map line of tourism development growth rate is drawn, and the impact of the National Games on Shaanxi tourism is -15%.
