“…Given this importance, it is no surprise that numerous international tourism demand studies have been conducted (Crouch, 1992;De Vita, 2014;Lee, Var, & Blaine, 1996;Song & Li, 2008). These studies focus on various determinants of tourism demand, including government-supported tourism (Balli, Balli, & Cebeci, 2013;Lee, Song, & Bendle, 2010), mega-events (Kang & Perdue, 1994;Lee, Song, & Mjelde, 2008), marketing efforts through National Tourism Organizations (Webster & Ivanov, 2007), and destination promotion (Law, Goh, & Pine, 2004;Lee, 1996). In addition to these determinants, economic conditions are significant determinants of international tourism demand (Prideaux, 2005).…”
