Due to urbanization and the need for people to go from one country to another either for commercial purpose or tourism, it is therefore important to determine the extent to which tourism contributes to growth. This article aims to investigate the tourism-led growth hypothesis in a sample of 34 European countries utilizing the yearly data from 1995 to 2015. The research work makes use of 8 tourism indicators, which cover different dimensions of tourism sector development such as foreign visitors' spending, and international tourist arrival. For empirical analysis, the study accounts key determinants of growth such as capital, labor and energy (renewable and non-renewable) consumption. The results from common correlated effects (CCE) augmented mean group (AMG) and groped-mean estimators confirms that there is a positive relationship between tourism, labour, capital and GDP insinuating the presence of tourism-led growth hypothesis in the European countries. Also, findings from the FMOLS show that changes in the variables leads to a proportional change in GDP. Specifically, the evidence shows that the tourism indicators play an indispensable role in promoting economic development, along with energy consumption, capital, and labor. Sustainable Combating environmental issues associated with foreign arrivals, renewable energy consumption should be encouraged to reduce environmental externalities to ensure sustainable environments for businesses and tourists' arrivals.

“…Rightly so, there is a common perception that the infrastructure and the public services, especially the National Health Service (NHS) are unable to cope with the pressure of a growing population (Gietel-Basten, 2016). Carefully crafted stories of EU immigrants jumping the queue for housing or medical care were the final straw and Brexit became without a doubt not only a vote against the European Union but firstly, an anti-immigration vote (Bourne, 2016). Using Gerbner's (1967, 1969a, 1969b, 1998 cultivation theory and Barker's (1981) and van Dijk's (2000) ideas on the new racism as a framework of analysis, this chapter identifies the immigration-related topics that were widely disseminated across the entire news media landscape during the EU referendum campaign in the UK (April-June 2016) and after (July-September 2016).…”

This chapter explores the most discussed immigration-related topics in the news media during the EU referendum campaign in the UK (April-June 2016) and after (July-September 2016) and identifies a pattern of covering immigration topics during and after the EU referendum. The chapter argues that attitudes anti-EU immigration are a wave of 'new(s)' racism (van Dijk, 2000) in the UK and EU immigration is frequently used as an umbrella term for Eastern European immigration being often mixed with non-EU immigration and the Refugee crisis. The results both replicate and extend the findings of earlier work showing how news media have shaped people's attitudes during the EU referendum leading to general hostility to immigration. Our data shows that the prevalence of negative news stories has led to a distinctive immigration-narrative, confirming Hoffner and Cohen (2013)'s claim that members of minority groups are almost always associated with violent and threatening media content. Reflecting on the results of the EU referendum, we argue that 14 years of negative media exposure shaped the public's beliefs, confirming Gerbner (1998)'s theory and also Busselle & Crendall (2002)'s and Fujioka (2005)'s studies, that indicate that exposure to negative media messages can influence the perception of minority groups by the majority.

“…Further research would be necessary to answer this question. However, some studies argued that 33 percent of Leave voters stated that immigration was their most important reason for voting to leave the EU (Bourne, 2016;Ashcroft, 2016).

La inmigración se ha convertido en un arma electoral. La propagación de una imagen negativa sobre la inmigración como estrategia para obtener votos ha sido utilizada en diversas situaciones. El elemento fundamental de este discurso se centra en la vinculación entre inmigración y delito. En este trabajo se discute sobre la utilización de la inmigración y su vinculación con el crimen como instrumento para obtener ventaja electoral durante la campaña del Brexit. En este sentido, se han analizado las portadas de los periódicos y tabloides británicos durante los dos meses previos a las elecciones y las referencias que contenían sobre la inmigración. Además, se han estudiado los vínculos entre esta utilización y la evolución de las encuestas electorales. Puede afirmarse que, durante la campaña electoral del referéndum del Brexit, los partidarios de abandonar la Unión Europea convirtieron la inmigración, especialmente la crimigración, en un elemento trascendental para obtener la victoria.
