Abstract
The influx of international tourists may affect the economic growth of destination countries by influencing the quality of life (QoL) of residents, the effects of which are unclear ex ante. Therefore, this study utilises the autoregressive distributed lag model to examine tourism-induced growth by taking into consideration the residents' QoL using Singapore as a case study. We also consider the factor of heterogeneous tourism demand by regions of origin in a market-based analysis using seemingly unrelated regression, motivated by the assumption that consumers from different markets differ widely over their preferences. This study seeks to contribute to an understanding of tourism as a source of sustainable economic development and as such provides important policy implications for practitioners and scholars alike.
国际游客的涌入可能会通过影响居民的生活质量(QoL)来影响目的地国家的经济增长,而这种影响在事前并不明确。因此,本研究利用自回归分布滞后模型,以新加坡为例,通过考虑居民的 QoL 来研究旅游业引发的经济增长。在基于市场的分析中,我们还使用了看似无关的回归方法,考虑了原籍地区的异质性旅游需求因素,其动机是假设来自不同市场的消费者在偏好上存在很大差异。本研究旨在促进对旅游业作为可持续经济发展来源的理解,从而为从业人员和学者提供重要的政策影响。
