“…Economists have emphasized the importance of tourism to the economy, with rapid tourism growth bringing about an increase of household incomes and government revenues through multiplier effects and improvements in the balance of payments. As such, the development of tourism has usually been considered as a positive contribution to economic growth (Dritsakis 2004;Brida et al, 2008;Cortes-Jimenez and Pulma, 2010;Cortes-Jimenez et al, 2011;Xie et al, 2011;Ivanov and Webster, 2013). According to estimates of the World Tourism Organization ( 2009) the scale of the world tourism industry will reach roughly 11% of the world's GDP in 2014.…”

This study examines the tourism-led growth hypothesis (TLGH) in Vietnam during the period 1992–2011. The authors use two-step procedures to test the hypothesis. They first apply cointegration and the Granger causality test to identify the relationships between tourism earning and gross domestic product (GDP). Second, they use growth decomposition methodology to measure the contribution of tourism to economic growth. The results indicate that it is worthwhile for the government to implement economic policies to stimulate economic growth through the tourism sector in Vietnam.

Esta nota de investigación estudia el impacto de la competitividad de un destino en la contribución del turismo al crecimiento económico, para lo cual se usa una intersección de 131 países. La competitividad del destino se mide según el índice de competitividad de viajes y turismo del Foro Económico Mundial, mientras que la contribución del turismo al crecimiento económico se mide con la metodología de la descomposición del crecimiento. Los resultados revelan que la competitividad de los destinos no tiene un impacto estadístico significativo en la contribución del turismo al crecimiento económico. Las implicaciones para las políticas de turismo y las direcciones para investigaciones futuras también se discuten.

“…while the definition of international tourism has been the focus of extensive long-term effort (UNwtO, 2008a), the interest in defining and measuring domestic tourism is relatively new (Archer, 1978;Coenen & Van Eekeren, 2003;Gunawan, 1996;jafari, 1986;mena, 2004;mena, Chon, & Alampay, 2004;Oppermann, 1992;Seckelman, 2002;Sheykhi, 2009;UNwtO, 2008a;Xie, Lacher, & Nepal, 2010;Xu, 1999). with no international borders this task of defining domestic tourism is inherently more complex (rogers, 2002a, 2002bUNwtO, 2008a).…”

¶Department of hospitality and tourism management, Virginia tech, Blacksburg, VA, USA Using a large-scale visitors' survey data, this study empirically investigates the question of who is a tourist from the tourist's perspective, and contrasts the findings with elements of more formal definitions. the study contributes to the literature on tourism definition and measurement by demon strating how tripographic and socioeconomic factors affect visitors' propensity to self-categorize as tourists. the results point to a clear distance threshold of around 75 miles and provide support for the technical approach to the definition of tourism. First-time visitors, visitors whose main purpose was pleasure, women, and lower middle class income are more inclined to self-categorize as tourists, while those who visit friends and relatives are not. these findings could be used to further improve the definition and measurement of tourism, as well as enhance destination marketing practices.
