“…Habibi () argued that government should integrate hotel development in tourism planning and provide sufficient incentives for the private sector to invest in hotels and its services. In the investigation of demand for tourism in Greece, Chasapopoulos, den Butter, and Mihaylov () argued that sufficient provision of infrastructure and tourism facilities influences tourists' holiday destination choice. They used the statistics on gross investment spending in infrastructure as a proxy and found the estimated coefficient to be insignificant.…”

The paper examines the effect of tourism infrastructure on inbound tourism demand along with other known factors influencing tourism. The study is undertaken in the context of Singapore where revitalization of infrastructure has been an important policy aimed at urban redevelopment and tourism growth. Using a panel of 30 origin markets between 2000 and 2015, the paper applied a dynamic generalized method of moments estimation showing that tourism infrastructure increases tourism demand above trend. The relatively price insensitive and income sensitive nature of tourism demand appear to be favourable conditions to use tourism as a strategy to enhance the city state's competitiveness.

“…Crampon [21] firstly proposed the tourism gravity model based on Newton's law of gravitation, and held the opinion that tourism for a place depends on the population size and wealth of the tourism-generating region, the attraction of the destination, and the distance between the tourism-generating region and the destination. Scholars also support this opinion in their study of tourism demand [22,23], destination accessibility [16], and distance decay [24], and eastern European countries' potential trade [25]. The tourism gravity model is a typical paradigm to study distance decay in tourism and to analyze the corresponding influence factors.…”

Agritourism is a newly developed type of tourism, which is significant in promoting the sustainable development of rural economies and ecological environments. The spatial distribution of agritourism consumption is an important basis on which to formulate an agritourism development plan. This paper introduces the concept of agritourism consumption, which is applied to develop a theoretical model of spatial distribution based on the analogy that the attraction to agritourism by urban residents is similar to the attraction among charges in physics. With this model, the spatial distribution characteristics of agritourism consumption are investigated under the superposition of multifield sources arising from metropolitan regions. The results indicate that the field strength of agritourism consumption is gradually attenuated with spatial distance. The trend that field strength under multifield sources varies with distance is generally similar to that under a single field source, but the decay rate under multifield sources tends to slow down slightly in different directions. Due to the superposition of multifield sources, the spatial distribution of field strength is no longer in a pattern of concentric circles, but an uneven distribution of contour lines. In addition, there is a positive correlation between field strength distribution and the consumption demand of agritourism.

“…Mariyono (2017) utilized a dummy to explain the importance of providing policies that guarantee security for tourists. Chasapopoulos et al (2014) stated that Greek policy to become an Olympic event was not favorable for tourism. Kareem (2008) found that democratic political instability impeded tourist visits to Africa.…”

Tourism industry has experienced a significant development. This can be seen from several indicators, such as the number of foreign and domestic tourist visits, tourist spending, employment opportunities and the tourism sector's contribution to national income (GDP). Indonesian Tourist Policy has been combined with Law No.10 of 2009 concerning Tourism, and operationalized by Government Regulation No. 50 of 2011 concerning the National Tourism Development Master Plan (RIPPARNAS). It coincides with the ASEAN liberalization policies. Previous economic tourism research has not accommodated the role of economic institutions as a determinant of foreign tourism demand in Indonesia. This study focuses on tourism demand from ASEAN countries. The model is expected to explain the optimization of tourism resources for development. This data panel study revealed that Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is the most appropriate econometrical model used to estimate tourism in Indonesia in ten years (2006-2015). This study revealed some similarities with previous studies, especially in strengthening the theory of demand. The relative cost of tourism which tends to be more efficient will increase the number of tourist visits. Access to communication infrastructure and the proportion of city residents in the country of origin will increase tourism demand to Indonesia. Liberalization of policies need not be feared by many people, because the institutional aspects of the market which include rules, regulations, fiscal strength and market openness will encourage the acceleration of tourism. However, this study found that tourism services in Indonesia are still inferior compare to those of ASEAN countries. This requires international tourism marketing that changes perceptions and develops adequate destinations to facilitate ASEAN community members. In addition, this study considers that modernization in rural areas and the strengthening of related policies are related to the implementation of tourism master plans to improve tourism optimization.
