Abstract
This paper analyzes the nonlinear impact of political risk and economic development on tourism revenues. A dynamic threshold panel model is applied to a sample of 119 countries over 8 years. A positive association between economic development and tourism revenues is identified. The results also show that the impact of improvements in political stability on growth in tourism revenues is dependent on the current level of economic development. For highly developed countries, increased political stability does not impact tourism revenues. However, there is a significant positive impact of improved political stability on tourism revenues for less-developed countries.
期刊介绍:
Tourism Economics, published quarterly, covers the business aspects of tourism in the wider context. It takes account of constraints on development, such as social and community interests and the sustainable use of tourism and recreation resources, and inputs into the production process. The definition of tourism used includes tourist trips taken for all purposes, embracing both stay and day visitors. Articles address the components of the tourism product (accommodation; restaurants; merchandizing; attractions; transport; entertainment; tourist activities); and the economic organization of tourism at micro and macro levels (market structure; role of public/private sectors; community interests; strategic planning; marketing; finance; economic development).
