“…By using panel data for developing countries in the vector error correction model (VECM) framework, Samimi, Sadeghi [27] reported bidirectional causality between tourism and FDI in the long run, proposing that tourism potential in developing nations attract FDI, and FDI has improved tourism infrastructure and amenities. Rabindra [28] suggested a significant long-term association between capital formation and tourism in Nepal. The literature also shows that little research has been conducted to investigate the relationship between tourism and FDI.…”

Tourism is considered a competent driver of development in emerging economies. This study assesses the role of tourism in shaping the fundamental pillars of development in developing economies by targeting the case of Pakistan. Various econometric techniques and approaches were used to investigate the causal relationships of tourism with economic growth, energy and agriculture development, and poverty. This study highlights the important role of tourism in the development of emerging economies. The findings of our study suggest that a 1% increase in tourism significantly enhances gross domestic product (GPD) by 0.051%, foreign direct investment by 2.647%, energy development by 0.134%, and agriculture development by 0.26%, and reduces poverty by 0.51% in the long run. Hence, policy-makers should be informed that through public interventions, tourism can advance development by the design and implementation of integrated policies in developing economies. In addition, policy consistency and coherence are essential for competitiveness, sustainability, and maximizing benefits from tourism.

“…The existing trend of globalization is a mere subdivision of massive operational alterations which are the results of the Schumpeterian progression in the technology, the spatial strength and possibility of connections between many factors at different levels of the economy [5,6]. However, there are a lot of confusion and differences over discussions as the process of globalization has diverse implications to various people [7][8][9]. Once there were hopes that globalization would provide benefits to everybody universally.…”

What Are the Implications of Globalization on Sustainability?—A Comprehensive Study

It is becoming more and more certain that globalization is not just purely an economical phenomenon; it is exhibiting itself on a worldwide level. Amid globalization’s observable appearances, the most obvious are the larger international mobility of goods and services, flows of finance capital, data and information and most importantly people. On top of that, there are technological progresses and more international cultural interactions, which are facilitated by the enhancement of free trade of large quantities of more differentiated goods and also through immigration and tourism. The political changes and ecological concerns play an important part in this regard. In the current study, sustainability Indices are linked with the KOF Globalization Index to understand if more globalized countries are performing better in terms of sustainable development and its dimensions, especially environmental sustainability. Sustainability indices such as Human Development Index (HDI) and Environmental Performance Index (EPI) showed a stronger relation with different levels of globalization while others (Red List Index (RLI), Environment Sustainability Index (ESI)) did not. The results reveal that globalization has a positive implication on sustainability in the overall perspective.

“…However, these studies do not evaluate carbon emissions damage on INTL_TOUR in relation population density and economic growth, which is incorporated in this study. Second, earlier studies are limited to include energy associated emissions [7,47,48] in eco-tourism agenda, while in this study, we used carbon emissions damage, methane emissions, and nitrous oxide emissions in carbon-tourism modelling to identify the costs of different emissions on INTL_TOUR. Finally, previous studies rarely calculated the share of carbon emissions damage in decreasing inbound tourism, INTL_TOUR receipts, and expenditures [49,50].…”

The importance of sustainable tourism is largely discussed in environmental literature under two different main streams: first, an ample amount of literature is available on the role of international tourism in economic development; second, the existing literature mainly focused on estimating tourism carbon footprints across countries. Limited work has been done on identifying the cost of carbon emissions on the tourism industry, which is evaluated in this study to fill the existing literature gap by using a large panel of 132 countries between 1995 and 2018. The results show that carbon emissions damage, methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, and population density substantially decrease inbound tourism and international tourism receipts that result in an impact on the increase in international tourism expenditures across countries. The ex-ante analysis shows that inbound tourism will likely decrease from 19.546% to 16.854% due to an increase in carbon emissions damage of 0.357% to 1.349% for the period 2020–2028. Subsequently, international tourism expenditures will decrease from 19.758% to 12.384% by increasing carbon emissions damage from0.832% to 1.025%. Finally, international tourism revenues will subsequently decline from23.362% to 18.197% due to lowering carbon emissions damage from 0.397% to −0.113% over a time horizon.
