“…Besides TLGH studies focusing on a single country, some researchers have attempted to validate the hypothesis by bringing together several countries. Such studies include Bouzahzah and El Menyari (2013); Brida et al (2016); Dritsakis (2012); Nene and Taivan (2017); and Shahzad et al (2017). For instance, Dritsakis (2012) carried out a study to examine the dynamic relationship between tourism income and economic growth in 7 Mediterranean countries using the Panel Cointegration and Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) approaches on panel data, real per capita tourism receipts, number of international tourist arrivals, real effective exchange rate, and real GDP over 1980-2007 period.…”

After the economic liberalization in mid-2000, Tanzania has assumed that tourism growth spars economic growth due to the consistent significant contribution of tourism sector to the country's annual income. However, there are limited empirical studies that investigated tourism-economic growth relationship in Tanzania. This study aims to investigate an empirical insight into the actual nature of tourism-economic growth in Tanzania by applying the Granger causality and Wald test methods where annual time series data on international tourism receipt, real Gross Domestic Product, and real effective exchange rate over the period 1989-2018 are used. Further, the Impulse Response Function approach is utilized to provide insight into the qualitative nature of the relationships and the length of time necessary for the causal effect to take place. The findings confirm a unidirectional causality from tourism development to economic growth. The study concludes that Tanzania ought to focus on economic strategies that encourage sustainable tourism development as a feasible source of economic growth.

“…In his another study,Brida et al (2008) found causality going from tourism expenditures to real GDP per capita in Columbia by applying Johansen and the Granger Causality test. Sokhanvara, Çiftçioğlu and Javid (2018) highlighted that the direction of causality is country dependent, showing that TLGH is supported in case of Brazil and Mexico, while the reverse hypothesis (EDLH) holds for Peru and reciprocal hypothesis is proven for Chile.Salifou and Haq (2016) have examined the relationship for 11 countries of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) in presence of FDI and economic globalization index as control variables along with physical capital and confi rmed TLGH for ECOWAS Nene and Taivan (2017). has gained mixed results for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, supporting TLGH and EDTH for 60% and 40% of the SSA countries respectively.…”

This paper empirically investigates a causal relationship between tourism and economic growth in Georgia for 1997-2018 period by employing ARDLBT approach to cointegration. Results reject economic-driven tourism growth hypothesis for Georgia and reveal that impact of tourism development over economic growth is negative in the long-run, in contrary positive in the short-run. Obtained results suggest that there is a possibility to have a tourism resource curse in the long-term in Georgia. Georgian government should build a tourism strategy to avoid crowding out of human capital from industrial production and decrease the share of imports for the needs of tourism sector

“…Por su parte, también es señalado que es el desarrollo de sectores distintos al turismo el que contribuye al desarrollo socioeconómico de un país, y como desencadenante de este desarrollo, tiene lugar la actividad turística en dicho destino (Lin et al, 2019;Nene & Taivan, 2017;Sharif et al, 2017).…”

The notable growth of tourism in emerging destinations generates controversy regarding the socioeconomic benefits it brings to the population. The objectives of this work are to contrast the capacity of the tourist phenomenon to become a driver of socioeconomic development in emerging Latin American destinations and to analyze the effect of tourism specialization on the living conditions of the population. For this, an econometric model with panel data has been estimated, based on a sample of 20 emerging destinations between 2005 and 2015. The results show that both tourism and non-tourism specialization have a direct and significant on the conditions of socioeconomic development
