Abstract
While terrorism brings fear and chaos, tourism is the epitome of peace and happiness. Sri Lanka has always attracted international tourists due to tropical climate and beautiful tourist destinations. However, terrorism and the recent debt crisis have led to chaos and economic failure; in this study, the impact of terrorism, external debt, and military expenditure on international tourism in Sri Lanka have been empirically studied to unravel the dynamics. Dynamic ARDL simulation and cumulative fourier frequency causality results highlight the presence of an inverted N-shaped association between terrorism and tourism, as well as external debt and tourism. The phenomenal results from this analysis provide essential policy suggestions for Sri Lanka for economic recovery through the promotion of international tourism.
恐怖主义带来恐惧和混乱,而旅游业则是和平与幸福的缩影。斯里兰卡的热带气候和美丽的旅游胜地一直吸引着国际游客。然而,恐怖主义和最近的债务危机导致了混乱和经济衰退;本研究通过实证研究恐怖主义、外债和军费开支对斯里兰卡国际旅游业的影响,以揭示其动态变化。动态 ARDL 模拟和累积傅里叶频率因果关系结果突出表明,恐怖主义与旅游业以及外债与旅游业之间存在倒 N 型关联。分析得出的惊人结果为斯里兰卡通过促进国际旅游业实现经济复苏提供了重要的政策建议。
