“…In other terms, people working in tourism-related occupations are more prone to establish positive perceptions and perceptions about their benefits and to have less worry about the detrimental effects of tourism development. Many other reports, such as Tohmo, 2018;Garidzira and Pasara, 2020;Li et al, 2005;Hwang and Lee, 2015;Song et al, 2012;Gozgor and Ongan, 2017;Song and Li, 2008, reported similar facts. It may also be concluded that the larger the economic reliance on tourism, the more likely it is for people to see the beneficial results of tourism.…”

The research aims to examine the shared effect of tourism in Aqaba and the Jordanian host culture. Despite the presence of preferences and developments in tourism opportunities and problems, despite the fact that these circumstances are marked by, uncertainty, and personal shifts, the local community's behaviour and attitudes towards the tourism industry are highly dependent on them. A questionnaire was circulated to a group of (1200) people living in Aqaba to accomplish this goal. From 1/1/2019 until 30/12/2019, the allocation and restitution took one year, taking into account the low and high tourism seasons. In order to assess the most important facets of the socio-cultural and economic impacts of tourism in these regions, the questionnaire was circulated to the survey participants in order to measure attitudes towards tourism. This analysis is an exploratory, empirical study that follows the process of obtaining and reviewing knowledge to draw conclusions. To assess the degree of significance for the study questions, the researchers used the arithmetic mean, standard deviation, T-test and ANOVA test. The findings revealed that the economic sub-scale was the highest degree of attitudes towards tourism, while the lowest was the social sub-scale. This research provides a better understanding of the social and cultural effects of tourism and the host culture in Jordan, in order to establish a holistic growth of sustainable tourism in Aqaba. It is possible to submit and further test the new model at another destination in Jordan.

“…For instance, if the variables are stationary at levels, a panel least square is estimated while if the variables are of different level; levels and first difference then a Panel Autoregressive Distributive Lag is deemed fit [26]. In the event that the variables are integrated at first difference, a Panel -VAR or Panel -VECM is appropriate [27]. Since the panel unit root tests indicate a combination of zero and one a Panel Autoregressive Distributive Lag under the Pooled Mean Group is deemed fit (Table 3).…”

The relationship between macroeconomic objectives and crime is intertwined and cannot be overemphasized. This subject has created an endless debate and at the centre of this debate is what causes the other? In contributing to this academic debate, the current study investigates the impact of macroeconomic objectives on crime. Furthermore, the study examined the question “what causes the other?”. In achieving these two aims, the study employed a Pooled Mean Group and the Granger Causality analysis from 1996–2019. The Pooled Mean Group results reveal that poverty and inequality are the main causes of crime in the Gauteng province. On the other hand, economic growth, education and employment reduces crime. Since Gauteng is the economic harbor of Africa, many jobs should be created therein to reduce poverty and inequality that have a negative impact on crime.

“…Sport tourism, however, is described in this paper as all types of passive and active participation in sporting activity, involved casually or in an organized manner for business reasons that require travel from home and work locations (Standeven and De Knop, 1999: 12). Nyikana and Tichaawa (2020) seeks to examine the nature of sport and tourism interrelationships in Central Africa, using Cameroon as a case study area. The key findings indicate that the interrelationships between sport and tourism in this context are relatively weak, especially at the policy and planning levels, despite there being potential for strengthening of these at the local operational level for sustainable tourism development.…”
