“…But still, one can argue that all these studies have in common a positive effect of EU entry on tourism in different countries. For example, Kapera (2013) reports that the number of tourist arrivals in Poland increased by 1.5 million or 10.8 percent in the first year after EU entry when compared to the pre-treatment year. Similar is found for Croatia and overnight tourists, 1.3 million and 12.1 percent (for arrivals the figures are much larger, 4 million and 8.4 percent).…”

“…Using qualitative data, namely interviews, Hughes and Allen (2009) studied eight post-transition economies that joined the EU in 2004 and found favourable tourism outcomes. Kapera (2013) uses simple descriptive statistics to claim that tourism in Poland developed significantly after EU entry. However, possible confounding factors with EU accession remain an issue in these studies, and the goal of their research was not to estimate the causal effect of EU accession on the outcomes in the tourism sector.…”

This study examines the impact of EU membership on tourism in Croatia, one of the most important economic sectors in the country. Using the counterfactual synthetic control method, the causal effect of EU membership on overnight tourists in Croatia in the period from 2013 to 2021 is estimated. The results suggest there is a large, positive, and long-term effect of the EU joining on overnight visitors in Croatia, with European tourists being the main contributors to tourism growth. In the period before COVID-19, the maximum discrepancy between the observed number of tourists and the synthetic value was achieved in 2017, with Croatia receiving an additional 3 million visitors, or 23 percent more than the value of the synthetic. Although these results are context-specific, the resemblance of Croatia to some EU candidate countries provides insights into possible tourism outcomes of integration in Europe.

Specificity of Sustainable Structural Dynamics of Local Economy in Romanian Tourist Resorts

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The lack of sustainable development strategies of the tourist resorts from Romania caused the structural dynamics of their economy to record large fluctuations under the impact of determinants with unpredictable developments. The spectacular dynamics have led to developments difficult to predict, in many situations that generate environmental conflicts, where the economic pressure has exceeded the support capacity of the natural environment. In this study, we aim to analyze the dynamic relationship between tourism and the other components of the economy, from each resort from Romania. The significant growth of tourism in recent years requires new approaches, relevant for understanding the role of tourism in increasing the complexity of the local economy. Measuring the role of tourism in the development of local economy was achieved by building an economic database for all tourist resorts from Romania (according to Government Decision No. 107 of 2018), at the four-digit NACE code level (Classification of National Economy Activities), for the economic indicators considered relevant: number of companies, number of employees, and turnover and profit, for the period 2000–2016, as well as at territorial administrative unit level. Detailed analyses revealed very different structural dynamics, the spectacular dynamics, lacking a coherent strategic framework, led in all situations to the emergence of environmental conflicts. Tourist resorts in which tourism has become an essential component of economic development have based their development on capitalization of local resources, which led to multiplication effects, materialized in a spectacular evolution of the local economy, and an increasing pressure on the natural environment.
