“…This is likely because the tourism goods and services in developing countries can better satisfy tourists' demand in terms of price and quality. Puah et al (2014) reported that pricing strategy influences tourist expenditure behavior in Malaysia. In addition, Mbaiwa (2003) claimed that the establishment of tourism facilities, such as wholesale and retail industries, transportation, and camps, is influenced by the development of the tourism industry in the Okavango Delta.…”

The local and international communities play an important role in the sustainable growth of the Malaysian tourism industry. The principle of sustainable growth in the tourism industry was proposed by the World Tourism Organization (WTO) in 1988. As the tourism industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries in Malaysia, the government has poured considerable effort into promoting this industry consistent with the objective of the Economic Transformation Program (ETP) to transform from a resource-based economy to a service-based economy. This study aimed to test the hypothesis of tourism-led growth from Malaysia’s perspective. The tourism revenue earned by the government can be used to invest in industry to further promote economic growth in Malaysia. Hence, tourist receipts and capital investment in the tourism industry are important factors that can affect the nation’s economic growth. Utilizing Malaysian data from 1995 to 2016, the study employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to examine whether the tourism-led growth is valid in this study. Empirical findings indicated that both variables have a significant positive impact on economic growth and the hypothesis of tourism-led growth is accepted in Malaysia.

“…Saayman and Botha (2015) adopted the Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) model to forecast tourist arrivals that exhibit seasonality. Furthermore, Lin et al (2015) and Puah et al (2018a) employed an econometric approach and Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach, respectively, to predict China outbound tourism; China is regarded as the largest outbound tourism market that contributes significantly to the global tourism industry. Puah et al (2018b) also employed the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach that validated the tourism-led-growth hypothesis.…”

This study attempts to scrutinize the fluctuations of the Fijian tourism market and forecast the early warning signals of tourism market vulnerability using the tourism composite indicator (TCI). The data employed on a monthly basis from 2000M01 to 2017M12 and the indicator construction steps were adopted from the ideology of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). A parsimonious macroeconomic and non-economic fundamental determinant are included for the construction of TCI. Subsequently, the procedure then employed the seasonal adjustment using Census X-12, Christiano-Fitzgerald filtering approach, and Bry-Boschan dating algorithm. Empirical evidence highlighted the signalling attributes against Fijian tourism demand with an average lead time of 2.75 months and around 54 percent of directional accuracy rate, which is significant at 5 percent significance level. Thus, the non-parametric technique can forecast the tourism market outlook and the constructed TCI can provide information content from a macroeconomic perspective for policymakers, tourism market players and investors.

“…Hence, some tourist travel in groups and the group with which the tourist is travelling affects the individual's spending patterns (Long-Yi & Chen, 2009). Moreover, Puah et al (2018) analysing the tourism determinants by achieving the Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) test of co-integration to examine the dynamic association between tourism demand and its determinants. In addition, Puah et al, (2014) found that, there are negative association between tourism demand with both exchange rate and travelling costs whereas there the real income and trade openness had positively affect tourism demand.…”
