“…Considering the asymmetric coefficients of good governance on tourism development, it is undoubtedly confirmed that governmental effectiveness ensures economic and financial stability for fostering equitable development, eventually supporting tourism development in the long and short runs. Our findings align with existing literature, for instance, Sou and Vinnicombe (2021), Xu et al (2021). Existing literature has postulated that inefficient institutional quality, corruption, and political instability unmined tourism growth prospects in the long run, which eventually degraded equitable tourism-led economic growth (Del Monte and Papagni, 2001;de Vaal and EbbenInstitutions, 2011;Faheem et al, 2019;Andriamahery and Qamruzzaman, 2022;Xia et al, 2022;Zhuo and Qamruzzaman, 2022).…”

The motivation of the study was to gauge the impact of environmental quality (EQ), good governance (GG), and globalization (GLO) on tourism development in BRIC nations for the period 1990–2021. The study implements linear and nonlinear frameworks for evaluating the elasticity of explanatory variables on tourism and the directional association by using the non-granger causality test. Combined cointegration test statistics show a long-run association between EQ, GG, and GLO and tourism development in BRIC nations. Furthermore, the long-run association in the empirical estimation is established in both linear and nonlinear framework assessments. Referring to linear assessment, the study documents the positive, statistically significant linkage between good governance, globalization, and tourism development, implying that political stability, governmental effectiveness, and accountability foster tourism development. Furthermore, global economic and financial integration opens a window for tourism development by inducing the economy’s international tourism. On the other hand, environmental degradation reveals adverse statistically significant influences on tourism development, suggesting that the environmental stability in the form of healthy and amicable ambiance positively triggers tourism development, especially in the long run. According to the test statistics of the standard Wald test, it is obvious that there is an asymmetric association between explanatory variables such as EQ, GG, and GLO and tourism development in the long-run and short-run assessment. The directional causality test documented bidirectional causality in explaining the causality between environmental quality and tourism development in Brazil, India, and China, good governance and tourism development in India, and globalization and tourism development in China. On a policy note, the study advocated that BRIC has to ensure environmental protection and governmental effectiveness to promote sustainable development in the tourism sector.

“…Our results have been corroborated by the argument ofXu et al (2021) who argued that increasing corruption in the African continent has undermined the policy towards reducing income inequality and improving social welfare and income distribution. This results support the view ofXu et al (2022) who posited that the failure of African governments to control corruption has limited the flow of foreign direct investment and retarded economic growth which by extension, could undermine the improvement of income distribution.Most interestingly, the coefficients of the interaction of governance quality and ICT enter with positive and significant impacts. It means that ICT could exert a significant influence on governance quality to minimize income inequality.…”

“…For example, Dossou et al (2021) use the PCSE to explore the linkage between tourism, governance quality and poverty reduction in 15 different Latin American countries between 2003 and 2015. Also, Xu et al (2022) based on a panel data model estimated with PCSE parameters to stablish the linkages between tourism development and corruption in 30 African countries over the period 1996–2020. However, the findings of this kind of studies should be considered to identify only generalized relationship patterns among variables that a posteriori should be analyzed individually in each country.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to contrast the capacity of tourism-specialized and non-tourism-specialized systems in small developing insular societies to achieve a well-being model aligned with the Agenda 2030. Design/methodology/approach The empirical method of this work consists of a panel-corrected standard errors analysis for a total of seven Caribbean Small Island Developing States (SIDS) to measure the contribution of both economic diversification and tourism specialization to well-being in the Agenda 2030 framework. Time period considered in the analysis include 2005–2019. Findings Linear and nonlinear relationships reveal the need to conjugate both tourism specialization and economic diversification in the 2030-development agendas of small developing insular societies as both represent a means to achieve a well-being model aligned with the Agenda 2030. Originality/value One of the main novelties of this work is that development is analyzed from a multidimensional point of view (standard of living, access to education and health services), as an integrated thinking that considers any tourism development model that defines a route with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Agenda 2030 as main destination in SIDS. Specifically, practical implications are given combining recommendations to foster development and face poverty (SDG-1), while inequalities situations are reduced (SDG-10) and decent jobs are generated (SDG-8). These implications also focus on strengthening local suppliers of goods and services from other sectors to be integrated into the destination value chain (SDG-2), ensuring access to education (SDG-4) and contributing to gender equality (SDG-5).
