The Impact

This paper investigates the impacts of avian flu on global and Asian tourism using panel data procedures. Both static and dynamic fixed effects panel data models are adopted to estimate the impacts of this infectious disease. The empirical results from static and dynamic fixed effects panel data models are consistent and indicate that the number of affected poultry outbreaks has significant impacts on the international tourism of global and Asian affected countries. The high mortality rate among humans, the potential of a global flu pandemic and some media frenzy with hype and speculation might adversely affect the images of these infected destinations as a safe tourist destination. Moreover, it was found that the average damage to Asian tourism was more serious, which might have been induced by an ineffective suppression in numerous Asian infected countries. In addition, Asia was the earliest affected region and the area infected most seriously by avian flu, both in humans and in poultry. Since the potential risks and damage arising from avian flu and the subsequent pandemic influenza are much greater than for previous diseases, the need to take necessary precautions in the event of an outbreak of avian flu and pandemic influenza warrants further attention and action in modelling and managing international tourism demand and risk.

The Impact

The present study investigates the impact of freedom (i.e. the effects of political rights and civil liberties) on tourist arrivals for the eight countries with the highest tourist arrivals in 2016 (France, the United States, Spain, China, Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Mexico), using annual data from 1998 to 2016, through advanced panel data methods. Notably, the key strengths of this study are as follows: (i) it examines the impact of institutional quality on international tourism demand for the most visited countries and (ii) it employs advanced panel data techniques, which have been suggested in recent years. We first constituted a freedom index using political rights and civil liberties data. Second, we performed cross-sectional dependence (CD) tests to examine whether there existed CD in the panel data set. After detecting the presence of CD, we used panel unit root and cointegration tests, which are robust to CD to avoid problems from spurious regression. Finally, we estimated long-run parameters of the empirical model through a panel data estimator that is capable of presenting efficient and unbiased output in the presence of CD. Our empirical findings show that the level of freedom may play a role in explaining the volume of international tourist arrivals. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed in the study, particularly with respect to the importance of rights and freedom in the context of international inbound tourist arrivals.

Economic Determinants

Tourism is one of the main sectors that is rapidly growing across the world, especially for developing countries that yields considerable foreign exchange. In this sense, tourism has become a significant factor in the development processes that have been introduced in order to bring especially developing countries which have begun to develop aftermath of World War II closer to developed countries. Tourism is an important source of development for Turkey which has a high tourism potential. The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of international tourism demand for Turkey with panel data method. Within this aim, the factors which affect movements of tourism have been tried to determine by using socio-economic data of 22 countries which generate the largest number of tourist from 2000 to 2014. The number of tourists from each selected country which come Turkey has been used as dependent variable in the study. As the independent variables; income levels and relative price levels of tourist sending countries, exchange rate variable between the two countries, political stability variable of tourist sending country and tourism expenditures per capita have included in the study. Within using panel data method, the findings of the study show that all the variables have received the expected sign. Therefore, these findings have indicated that they are effective on the tourism demand.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study determining factors of international tourism demand in Middle Eastern countries. Design/methodology/approach Panel data pattern is used for data analysis of 1995 to 2013. Findings Results indicate variables like trade freedom index and gross domestic product (GDP) have positive and significant impact upon tourism demand of the countries of the region. Purchasing power parity (PPP) and GDP per capita are indicators which affect the tourism demand rate in Middle East negatively. Originality/value It is estimated that Middle East region will claim for the bulk of tourist arrivals in following years. Therefore, this study is vital for destination managers to plan for demand in future.
