“…We expect that tourists from safe countries will prefer to travel to other safe countries, while tourists from countries with high rates of terrorism, crime or corruption will be more tolerant of similar problems in a destination country. Demir and Gozgor (2017) find that tourists traveling from very corrupt countries to other very corrupt countries do not feel as uncomfortable as tourists traveling from not very corrupt countries to very corrupt countries. Consequently, we expect corruption to have a more negative effect on a destination country's tourism market if that market comes from less corrupt countries.…”

“…Using bilateral tourism data, Balli, Balli, and Rosmy (2016) define a gravity model for bilateral tourism and find that the quality of institutions, measured in terms of perceived corruption, is important to tourists when selecting destinations while Demir and Gozgor (2017) explore the effect on Turkish inbound tourism of relative corruption, measured as the difference between the levels of corruption in the origin country and Turkey, and find that corruption does affect inbound tourism to Turkey.…”

“…It is also often limited to case studies, the results of which are not necessarily generalizable. Moreover, beside the paper by Demir and Gozgor (2017), previous research does not take into account the role of safety and security at origin country. The possible existence of a nonlinear relationship between security threats and inbound tourism remains under-researched as well as the mechanism that might affect this negative link, such as the cultural distance.…”

This article investigates the effects of security threats, namely terrorism, crime, and corruption, on international tourist flows. We estimate a gravity model to evaluate differences in the instability measures between country pairs quantifying not only how security threats in the host country have a negative effect on inbound tourism but also how conditions in the origin country also determine tourism flows to a particular destination. Results show that tourists prefer traveling to countries with similar levels of safety and security as exist in their origin country. Moreover, an asymmetric effect has been found. That is, tourists from stable countries prefer traveling to countries with the same conditions, while tourists from unstable countries are more tolerant with insecurity at the destination country. Finally, we find that greater knowledge about the destination country reduces the negative effect of security threats on inbound tourism.

“…To assist in controlling for omitted variable bias, the current study performs the fixed regression. Because of its robustness, the fixed regression has been frequently used by both governance (e.g., V. Z. Chen, Li, & Shapiro, ; Prommin, Jumreornvong, & Jiraporn, ; Schultz et al, ) and tourism researchers (e.g., Demir & Gozgor, ; Llorca‐Rodriguez, Casas‐Jurado, & García‐Fernández, ; Saha & Yap, ) to tackle the issue of omitted variable bias. The second bias is an endogeneity, which is the issue of simultaneous causation between variables (Agrawal & Knoeber, ; Campbell & Minguez‐Vera, ; C. M. Yeh & Trejos, ).…”

Ownership structure has been identified as a critical governance component due to its effect on firm performance. Within ownership structure, issues of institutional shareholders, cash flow rights of controlling owners, and ownership discrepancy have not been examined in the tourism sector. The current study uses listed tourism firms in Taiwan to empirically examine how these three variables influence firm performance.Results show a positive effect on return on assets and Tobin's Q from the presence of institutional shareholders and cash flow rights of controlling owners. Ownership discrepancy has a negative effect on Tobin's Q. The present results can make contributions to agency theory and principles for good governance.

“…Most of scholars at home and abroad started their researches on the factors of influencing the inbound tourism from the prospective of the economic development of the source of tourists, economic and trade exchanges with China, and transportation costs in China. They usually chose indicators such as the per capita national income, the level of urbanization, trade and investment and transportation costs to conduct their researches [2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, China has a profound culture.…”

Since 2015, the inbound visitors of most sources of tourists such as Japan, Russia and Malaysia in China have been on a growing decrease. While the inbound visitors of some sources of tourists such as the United States, Germany and Thailand have only shown some subtle changes. Therefore, China's inbound tourism is facing an increasingly great downward pressure. On the basis of existing researches, this paper screens indicators in light of the economic development of the source of tourists, the appeal of Chinese culture, the economic and trade exchanges with China and transportation costs in China. In consideration of cultural appeal, this paper establishes a new indicator system to evaluate the potential of inbound tourism of major sources of tourists. It finds out the problems in the process of their development and figures out some solutions in order to improve the competitiveness of China's tourism. At the same time, this paper utilizes the principal component analysis to evaluate the potential of inbound tourism for nineteen sources of tourists with the help of cross-section data in 2015. It also ranks in a comprehensive way the major influencing factors of their potential of inbound tourism with direct oblimin. The ranking in order of importance is the rate of outbound tourism, the per capita national income, the proportion of the 25-64 age group, the number of Confucius Institutes, the number of overseas students in China, as well as investment in China. The evaluation result shows that South Korea, the United States and India are the sources of tourists with the highest potential in China. These countries such as Singapore, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and France have certain potential to be the sources of tourists. Moreover, Philippines, Indonesia, and Mongolia are at the end of the ranking.
