Growth in tourism earnings, aside from adding real resources in terms of foreign exchange and rising income in the organized sector of the hospitality industry, has given rise to employment opportunities in the informal sectors of the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). The spread of information and communication technology (ICT), on the other hand, has facilitated faster and smoother international tourism and provides greater opportunities for tourists travelling in interior islands for ecotourism and home stays at affordable costs. In this article, we assess the role of tourism with ICT as a contingent factor on economic growth in a panel study of five selected PICs. The results show that in the long run, tourism and ICT contribute around 0.25 and 0.02%, respectively. The interaction term of tourism with ICT is positive and statistically significant, indicating they act as complements. The complementary relationship begins to work when ICT reaches a certain threshold level.

The continuous development of the new-generation Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has drawn increased focus and investment from China. However, will China’s investment in the ICT bring a long-term positive impact on China’s economic growth? Will such impact be changed by any external factors? These questions bear strong significance for the academic cycle and require urgent solutions. Given such concerns, the paper introduced a partial dynamic adjustment model and selected the panel data of China from 2001 to 2016 to study how China’s investment in ICT affected its economic performance. The study found that such investment has significantly promoted the economic growth of China with gradually shortened gap between physical capital and the ICT investment, while human capital still played a vital role in economic growth; there is a mutual and harmonious influence between macrovariable and the speed of adjustment, and only their effective combination can improve economic performance to the maximum extent.

The variables used in this study are Economic Growth, ICT Trade Export, ICT Trade Import, Landline Telephone, Mobile Phone, Internet Users, Internet Secure Servers, Fixed Broadband, and Foreign Direct Investment. This study forms three models, namely model 1 for research on Trade Export of ICT, model 2 for research on Trade Import of ICT and model 3 for research on Economic Growth and ICT. The results showed that model 1 found only Fixed Broadband which had a significant influence on ICT exports. In model 2 there are Mobile Phone and Fixed Boradband which have a significant influence on the import of ICT. While in model 3 only Foreign Direct Investment has a significant influence on economic growth.
