Economic Growth, Energy Mix, and Tourism-Induced EKC Hypothesis: Evidence from Top Ten Tourist Destinations

The tourism sector makes a sizable contribution to a country’s gross domestic product, increasing employment opportunities, foreign currency earnings, and economic diversification strategies. This paper uses the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) model to analyze the effects of tourism on the environment in the world’s top 10 tourist countries from 1972 to 2021. Panel cointegration and second-generation unit root tests are suggested due to the presence of cross-sectional dependence and slope heterogeneity. A cross-sectional-autoregressive-distributed lag (CS-ARDL) model is applied to evaluate the marginal influence of environmental variables other than tourism on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. These variables include fossil fuels, renewable energy, and nuclear energy. For the purpose of testing robustness, both the augmented mean group (AMG) and the common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) estimators are employed. The CS-ARDL supports the EKC hypothesis in the short run and long run, but it is not significant in the short run. The existence of EKC demonstrates that rising income leads to fewer CO2 emissions. All forms of environmental degradation can be accelerated by using fossil fuels. The results of this study indicate that CO2 emissions can be reduced by using renewable energy and nuclear energy. A rise in tourism activity has a positive impact on environmental quality. The best-attended tourist spots around the globe are those that, in the long run, implement clean energy-related technology and promote ecotourism.

Comparison of machine learning algorithms to predict optimal dwelling time for package tour

This paper shows the comparison between several well-known classification algorithms in Machine Learning with the purpose of finding the most suitable algorithm to predict the dwelling time, that is, how long a certain tourist should stay in a particular tourist spot. This dwelling time prediction can be adopted by tour and travel agents to provide optimal scheduling for their package tours. The algorithm in question is strictly for classification because in this case, the dwelling time does not require a very specific number of minutes; thus, the time can be classified and restricted into several time frames. The origin and features of the dataset are described in this paper as well as the comparison methodology to show the procedure of how the comparison was made. Lastly, the performance results will be used to determine which algorithm to use for this specific case and it will be shown in a form of a graph.
