“…In the same note, Kožić [24] refers to another negative effect of tourism development, respectively on human capital. In his research based on two groups of Croatian towns and municipalities, he showed that the development of tourism leads to the deterioration of human capital.…”

“…From the analysis of research published so far, a clear conclusion cannot be distinguished, given that results are sometimes contradictory. Some papers present results that support the positive influence of tourism on improving the quality of life and sustainable performance [17][18][19][20], other authors identify the development of tourism as a factor with negative effects on the overall index of quality of life and the growth of sustainable performance [21][22][23][24], while a third group of studies shows mixed results [25][26][27].…”

Relationships between tourism development, quality of life and sustainable performance are very important topics and benchmarks in long-term policies and strategies at global, regional and local levels. Starting from the concerns expressed by researchers and international organizations, as well as the characteristics of the European region, our research aims to identify these relationships in the context of increasing pressure from stakeholders on the adoption of decisive measures in order to limit the negative effects manifested globally in the context of climate change. Using cluster analysis, we managed to identify relevant groups of countries, based on the selected variables. The results of the study highlight the existence of a positive relationship between the development of tourism and the increase of the quality of life, as between the level of sustainable performance and tourism intensity, opening the possibility of future research on the causal relationships between the selected variables and the promotion of coherent public policies that support the sustainable development.

“…Globalization, indeed, has increased the role of human capital for island states and requires more efforts to contrast outmigration. However, overreliance on tourism may be detrimental to human capital accumulation (Kožić, 2019) since the shift of resources toward tourism-related industries jeopardizes productivity gains obtained in other sectors, which require educated workers holding secondary or tertiary education qualifications (the so-called “beach disease”).…”

“…Islands may benefit from this condition since they could be more sheltered than other economies in case of external shocks, at least in terms of employment (Fratesi and Rodríguez-Pose, 2016). However, such a condition can crowd out investments of the private sector, especially investments in high-tech industries with higher value added, diminishing the prospects for sustainable economic growth (Kožić, 2019). Interestingly, the debate about the role of the economic structure in shaping the impact of exogenous shocks has recently increased in the light of the Great Crisis (Martin et al , 2016).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to verifying the economic resilience of islands and, in particular, the role of the tourism sector in the reaction to the most recent economic crisis. The analysis concerns insular contexts, such as the greater island regions in the Mediterranean basin. Design/methodology/approach Static and dynamic panel data techniques are used for a sample of 13 island economies over a period of 16 years. Findings Results show that the growth factors for regional islands are similar to the ones usually considered for other regions, but the tourism-led growth hypothesis is highly supported. Tourism demand more than supply plays a role together with accessibility. The crisis has reduced the importance of tourism supply, while tourism demand and accessibility have remained crucial for growth together with other traditional engines of growth. Originality/value To the best of authors’ knowledge, none of the current works has considered territorial determinants and tourism indicators inside the same framework analyzing growth in island economies by considering the changes occurred during the crisis explicitly.

“…The use and allocation of resources implies numerous effects not only upon the environment, but it also manages extend its reach to social and behavioural elements, affecting community sustainability and the work-force of regions. Kožić (2019) exemplifies on Croatian municipalities involved in tourism that tourism development can affect human capital. Meleddu et al (2015) have shown that the relationship between the presence of tourists/tourism activities and the quality of life can range from acceptance and openness, to displeasure.…”

The positive impact of the tourism industry on economic growth, revenues, infrastructure, employment, social inclusion and poverty reduction, although widely recognised, has been lately weighted against the appearance and exacerbation of several problems, such as: environmental footprint, increase of income inequality, cost increases related to solid waste collection, energy consumption, increased global CO2 emissions. On the other hand, the tourism sector is not just an active economic, societal, or environmental change agent; in turn, the tourism sector supports or is highly influenced by various factors, such as climate change, economic, political, or social factors. More recently, this industry has been highly impacted by the pandemic, technological developments and cultural trends. In this article we examined both the short and long-run relationship between tourism development and economic growth, CO2 emissions and energy consumption in European Union member states (EU27), by using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique and autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model for panel data. The findings suggest that economic growth and energy consumption have a statistically significant impact on the tourism index both in the short and long-run, whereas CO2 emissions only have a significant impact upon the tourism index on the long run.
