Description
Summary:This study uses panel data from 1997 to 2017 to explain the current situation and trends of inbound tourism in some Asian countries and to analyze the relationship between tourism and Asian sustainability. In this study, growth decomposition method and Granger causality test are used. The growth decomposition methodology studies the contribution of tourism to the Asian economy. The results show that, in addition to the financial crisis and epidemic in a special period, the per capita real GDP of eight countries in Southeast Asia shows a positive growth trend. The Granger causality group studies the Dynamic Causality between tourism demand and economic, social and environmental sustainability. The results show that there is a one-way Granger causality between tourism and real GDP per capita. Then test each country's Granger causality. According to the Granger causality test results of these eight countries, the right management can bring wealth to the country, but the wrong management will destroy the ecology and cause social conflicts. Sustainable tourism management policies should aim to maximize the economic benefits of tourists and minimize the related adverse environmental impacts.
