Determinan Permintaan Pariwisata di ASEAN (Analisis Data Panel Dinamis 2000-2015) [Tourism Demand Determinants in ASEAN (Dynamic Panel Data Analysis 2000-2015)]

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the determinants of tourism demands in ASEAN during the period of 2000-2015. This study uses Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to measure the impact of tourism price, infrastructure, health, openness, government spending on education, risk of tourism and word of mouth effect to the number of tourist arrivals in ASEAN. The result shows that the significant determinants are physical investment, health, openness, risk of tourism and word of mouth effect. Meanwhile, tourism price and government expenditure on education do not significantly affect the number of tourist arrivals. This study recommends the need for ASEAN member countries to enhance cooperation in developing infrastructure, training on safety and health, trade negotiations and tourism promotion.
