“…For example, Leiper and Hing (1998) find that the Asian financial crisis and outbreaks of forest fires have negative effects on Malaysia's international tourism. Additionally, Tan et al (2002) find that the Asian financial crisis and the gulf war have negative effects on international tourism in Indonesia. Changes in political risk are also believed to contribute to tourism demand shocks, as high political risks discourage visits to high risk destinations.…”

Drivers of international tourism demand in Africa

2017

Despite Africa's potential for tourism, the continent's tourism endowments are still largely underdeveloped and underutilized. The identification and enquiry into the drivers of international tourism demand in Africa is, therefore, key to any effort to understand and explain changes in tourism demand in Africa. This study, therefore, uses Poisson regression model to determine the key drivers of international tourism demand in 44 African countries, employing annual data over the period 1995-2015. The outcomes of the Poisson regression show that taste formation, real exchange rate, infrastructure, political stability and absence of violence, per capita income, FDI, and trade openness are significant drivers of international tourism into Africa. However, travel costs and domestic prices are not significant drivers of the decision to travel to Africa.

“…Malaysia's tourism literature can be classifi ed into three major groups: (i) a descriptive analysis of the tourism industry (for example, Wells, 1982;Wong, 1990;Smith, 1992;Cartier, 1998;Henderson, 2003;Syed Mustapa, 2005;Liu, 2006); (ii) the demand function for tourism (for example, Tan et al, 2003;Salleh et al, 2007Salleh et al, , 2008; and (iii) the dynamic of tourist arrivals and the impact of shocks (for example, Lean and Smyth, 2008;Lean and Smyth, 2009).…”

“…Anaman and Ismail (2002) analyzing the tourism demand from Brunei to Eastern Malaysia indicated that the main factors including personal income, exchange rate, the availability of lower price and better quality of goods and services in Malaysia relatively to Brunei are the driving force of tourist coming to Malaysia. Tan et al (2002) examined the determinants of tourist coming to Malaysia and Indonesia. They found that the income per capita is an important factor that influences the decisions of tourists to travel to Indonesia and Malaysia.…”

This study aims to analyse the determinants of foreign tourists coming to Indonesia. Tourism sector is important in Indonesian economy because it is one of potential sources of foreign exchange and promotes economic growth. Decrease in number of domestic tourists is not as important as foreign ones since the later can be a potential source of foreign exchange. Model of travel cost demand for tourism is estimated using panel data, consisting of 34 countries across the globe during 2002-2011. Data were compiled from Indonesian Statistical Agency and the World Bank database. The result shows that distance is a one of significant factors that reduces the number of foreign tourists coming to Indonesia. The richer and larger countries boost greater amount of tourists traveling to Indonesia. Bomb attack reduced the number of foreign tourists. Tourists from western and ASEAN countries were more likely to visit Indonesia than others. Last, the trend of foreign tourists increased after significant fall because of bomb attacks. Indonesian policy should provide a guarantee of safety to tourists in order to attract more arrivals. Increase in such visit will lead to increase in job creation and share of GDP, and eventually strengthen Indonesian economy.
