“…From Granger Causality Test, the findings show that inbound tourism influences on energy demand. It is consistent with the study of Lee (2013). The study indicated that electricity demand impact on inbound visitors was positive because the facilities in hotel were required by electricity.…”

Tourism activities affect the environment of different destinations, which is influenced by different tourists' consumption. The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between inbound tourist expenditures and three main environmental dimensions, which are carbon dioxide emission from transport, energy demand, and water usage, in Thailand. This paper employs Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models to determine the relationship of variables.

“…The variable ELPC refers to the per capita electricity consumption measured in terms of kilowatt hours per capita. Since sufficient availability of electricity, particularly across the tourist spots, influences the travel decisions of the international tourists, it is pertinent to control for this key macroeconomic aggregate in modeling the IITD [2]. Thus, a positive association between electricity use and IITD can be anticipated.…”

“…This can be understood from the statistical estimates that the International Inbound Tourism Demand (IITD), in terms of the number of tourist arrivals in South Asia, has surged by almost six-fold over the last decade or so [1]. Simultaneously, this growth in the IITD, to some extent, has also amplified the overall demand for energy across this region [2]. Therefore, the sustainability of international tourism influx into South Asia can be hypothesized to be influenced by the reliability of the energy supplies within the South Asian economies of concern.…”

Calibrating the Impacts of Regional Trade Integration and Renewable Energy Transition on the Sustainability of International Inbound Tourism Demand in South Asia

This paper aims to evaluate the overarching relationships between International Inbound Tourism Demand (IITD), regional trade integration and Renewable Energy Transition (RET) in the context of selected South Asian economies between 1990 and 2016. The results from the panel data econometric analyses, accounting for cross-sectional dependency and slope heterogeneity issues, showed that higher degrees of intra-regional trade between the South Asian economies exert positive impacts on the IITD in South Asia. Similarly, undergoing a RET was found to stimulate the IITD further. Besides, the joint favorable impacts of regional trade integration and RET on South Asia’s IITD were also ascertained. Therefore, these findings impose key policy implications concerning the pertinence of strengthening regional trade cooperation between the South Asian neighbors and boosting renewable energy consumption for enhancing the IITD further.

This research note provides an examination of the hotel industry as a determinant of electricity consumption in Singapore. The GARCH-M(1, 1) model has been adopted to model the relationship between electricity consumption and the hotel industry in Singapore, together with a control variable (industrial production). This study identifies industrial production, gross lettings in terms of room nights, and the variability of electricity consumption as the key determinants that affect electricity consumption. All these variables exhibit positive effects on electricity consumption in Singapore.
