“…In the second stream, recent studies have considered the institutional hypothesis to be important for tourism inflow. Good governance enhances economic growth and promotes tourism inflow [12,26,41], as demonstrated by the fact that good governance reduces security risks, encourages investments and also stimulates tourism [42]. Ghalia, Fidrmuc, Samargandi, et al [43] use the gravity model to examine the effects of political risks, distance, and socio-economic factors in tourist flow, as well as tourist quality, and factors that stimulate the flow of tourists to the countries of origin and the absence of institutional quality and conflict.…”

Asymmetric Impact of Institutional Quality on Tourism Inflows Among Selected Asian Pacific Countries

From an idealistic viewpoint, the existence of the tourism industry in a country/region is a blessing because of its anticipated sustainable economic benefits. To turn this idealistic state into a realistic one, institutions need to play a pivotal role in optimizing the desired incentives. The present study examines the asymmetric role of institutional quality in stimulating tourism inflows (receipts and arrivals) in selected Asia Pacific countries involved in tourism. The previous literature has established that improving institutional quality attracts tourism inflows to a destination. However, the literature fails to identify the specific point (threshold level) above (below) which the relationship turns positive (negative). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that estimates the asymmetries in the nexus of institutions and tourism inflows, using robust nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag approach. Our results show that the tourism inflow in Asian Pacific countries responds asymmetrically to any changes in institutional quality, and there is a single threshold of 7.52 points, where the impact of institutional quality reverses. We conclude that our findings are robust to the alternative measures of tourism inflows. The study offers useful policy inputs for devising short and long-run policies for the betterment of the institutional framework in the region by understanding the asymmetric impact of institutional quality on tourism inflow.

“…International integrative projects and strategies of cross-border cooperation (CBC) in low-density territories have the objective of creating a global network of people in order to ensure benefits for everyone involved [97][98][99]. An example of what is at stake was the creation of the European Trade Association (EFTA), on the 4 January 1960, by the states of Austria, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, when they joined the "Common Market".…”

“…An example of what is at stake was the creation of the European Trade Association (EFTA), on the 4 January 1960, by the states of Austria, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, when they joined the "Common Market". This agreement allowed for the establishment of a free trade area, in which products imported from member states were not subject to customs duties, which facilitated exchanges between territories within the European area [98][99][100][101]. Furthermore, the cohesion politics developed by the European Union were crucial at the beginning of several CBC projects [102], as more than fifty operational programs of Interreg A were developed (2007-2013) for territorial cooperation [101,103].…”

Return Migration and Tourism Sustainability in Portugal: Extracting Opportunities for Sustainable Common Planning in Southern Europe

This study contributes to the knowledge of decision-makers on how tourism, small and medium-sized enterprises, return migration, and cooperation strategies can contribute to growth and sustainable development in rural areas. More specifically, it uses the Portuguese case to answer the following question: can the expectations and perceptions of emigrants provide directions for sustainable tourism development and common planning in order to contribute to rural development? The results obtained in a study developed in Portugal, through the application of a questionnaire survey of 5157 Portuguese emigrants, confirm the validity of this question. It is concluded that there are the emigrants at an active age (29–39 years old) and with a house in a rural area that have a greater propensity of returning, investing, and gaining employment in the area of tourism in Portugal, and they also have more training and professional experience in this area. Similarly, considering the experiences and migratory characteristics of these emigrants, it is argued that there is a strong probability that the return of emigrants from Southern European countries will contribute to the development of tourism in the rural areas of these countries. Besides, the study enables the identification of recommendations and directions for sustainable common planning in the political–strategic, financial–economic, resource sustainability, and sociocultural fields.

“…Furthermore, the powerful relationship between planning and cohesion policies within EU is reinforced by the efforts of DG Regio (Commission Directorate-General for Regional Cohesion), which has a leadership position on European spatial planning initiatives [21,[23][24][25]. In fact, in European urban territories, one of the tendencies is to focus on improving competitiveness through clustering, networking, as well as fostering a more balanced development between the most successful EU economic urban agglomerations and their networks [23][24][25][26][27][28]. According to Rabé, Toto, and Dhima [10]: "Priorities are promoting entrepreneurship, local employment, and community development and measures to rehabilitate the physical environment, redevelop brownfield sites, and preserve and develop historical and cultural heritage".…”

Nowadays, especially in a European environment, it is almost given that border cities cooperate, or should cooperate. Nevertheless, several obstacles are jeopardizing the cities cooperation prosperity. Therefore, the understanding of most of the factors and processes possible involved in the success or failure of Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) strategies and projects are pivotal to seek long-lasting territorial sustainability. Contextually, the study enables to identify three most influential factors and processes that should be considered to achieve territorial sustainability of CBC projects of City-to-City Cooperation (C2C) from a political-strategic perspective, being: Connectivity—movement between cities; political commitment; and the developing of common planning master plans.
