“…Kadir et al, 2008;Kadir & Karim, 2009;Ooi et al, 2013;Salleh et al, 2007;Tan et al, 2002) highlighted that the impact of own price of tourism on demand tends to be negative and statistically significant at the conventional levels of 1, 5, and 10%. However, Arsad and Johor (2010) and Kusni et al (2013) found a significant positive relationship between own price of tourism and tourism demand in Malaysia, while the impact of price of tourism in other destinations on demand for tourism is found to be positive and statistically significant. In contrast to most studies, those of Kadir et al (2013) and Salleh et al (2010) suggest a negative relationship between the price of tourism in other destinations and the tourism demand in Malaysia.…”

“…Song & Li (2008) and Song et al (2012) in their survey of literature related to tourism demand studies have concluded that tourist arrival is the leading measurement in measuring tourism demand followed by other measurements such as tourism receipts and length of stay. Some examples of studies that measured tourism demand in terms of tourist arrivals include those of Dritsakis & Gialitaki (2001), Garin-Munoz (2006), Kuo, Chen, Tseng, Ju, & Huang (2008), Mohd Hanafiah, Mohd Harun, & Jamaluddin (2010), Kusni, Kadir, & Nayan (2013), and Puah, Thien, & Arip (2014).…”

Tourism sector in Malaysia has always been one of its focal service industries not only in the past, but in the future as well in which Malaysian government has been focusing on diverting its economic activities from a resource-based to a service-based economy in its new economic model. China, a strongly emerging economy has been ranked as the third main tourist generating country for Malaysia since 2012. Hence, this study empirically identifies the macroeconomic determinants affecting the tourism demand from China to Malaysia. These determinants include real income, travel cost, exchange rate and trade openness. Particularly, real income and trade openness are evident to positively affect Chinese tourism demand while travel cost and exchange rate are found to adversely influence Chinese tourists' decision to travel to Malaysia.

“…The substantial effect of the selected economic and non-economic factors in detecting international tourist arrivals from ASEAN countries to Malaysia was accomplished by Kusni et al (2013). They reported that the relative price of tourism, personal income, substitute price, and dummy variables for the Asian Financial Crisis and Tsunami aftermath were meaningful in describing the international tourist arrivals from ASEAN countries to Malaysia.…”

Tourism has emerged as a major industry worldwide and a sector in many countries. This sector has experienced a rapid growth and has become a key driver for sustainable socioeconomic developments globally. However, tourism is also a vector of environmental degradation through the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the main factors that are affecting the tourism demand in ASEAN-5 countries. Using a panel of five ASEAN countries over a 44-year period and applying the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) approach, the empirical results have shown that the major determinants of tourism demand in these countries are income, trade, tourism price, and carbon dioxide emission. The results have also shown that the PMG performed better than the Mean Group (MG) estimator. This paper refers to the PMG estimator because it constrains the long run coefficients to be identical, but allows the short run coefficients and error variances to differ across groups. Income and trade appeared to exert significant positive impacts on tourism demand, whereas tourism price and carbon dioxide emissions have negative impacts on tourism demand in these ASEAN-5 countries. The results would be a good reference for policy makers in these specific countries.
