This study empirically examines the impact of the tourism endowments, institution quality, and its sub-components on inbound tourists in the Association of Southeast Asia Nation (ASEAN) member states using the fixed-effect model and panel data set from 2007–2017. The results show that the tourism endowment index and institution quality are essential factors that encourage inbound tourists to visit individual ASEAN member states. I further examine inbound tourists’ responses to each sub-component of institution quality. I corroborate that most of the sub-components of institution quality play an essential role in promoting inbound tourism in individual ASEAN member states. Other variables, such as China’s GDP per capita, foreign direct investment (FDIs), and single-entry visa schemes, show positive and significant impacts on inbound tourists in individual ASEAN member states. Therefore, these results aid the government and the policymakers in ASEAN member states to provide additional, appropriate tourism strategic development plans and policies.

This study employs the SAM-based model combining with Multiplier Production Matrix and Field of Influence Approach. Under three Input-Output Transaction Table Matrices of the year 2005, 2010, and 2015, these approaches use to assess the dynamic tourism inter-industry linkages and structural economic changes in Cambodia. We find that the overall inter-industry connection is relatively low. The textile, other manufacturing, and transportation and communication are key sectors. They have the largest coefficient field of influence of changes in the economic system. Tourism has shifted to be a key sector in 2010 and 2015. However, its backward and forward linkages are still small. It is a relatively promising sector in terms of generating a large coefficient field of influence of changes, showing less strength of overall connection with other industries. This study may suggest that there would be a need for promoting, encouraging, and investing in key economic sectors. Policies intervention should focus on developing domestic tourism linkages and strengthening inter-industry ties for the success of diversifying tourism benefits to the local economy.

This study uses fixed–effect and random–effect models to analyze six sets of panel data over the period of 17 years (1996–2012) in order to investigate determinant factors that could affect international tourism demand for Cambodia. We find that the GDP per capita of the origin countries in the previous year has a significant and positive effect on international tourist arrivals to Cambodia, except for tourist arrivals from ASEAN and Europe. Higher relative prices in Cambodia have a significant and negative effect on tourist arrivals to Cambodia, except for tourist arrivals from Oceania and Europe. Appreciated Cambodian riel has a significant and negative effect on tourist arrivals from Oceania and North America, but has a significant and positive effect on tourist arrivals from Europe. Transportation cost has a significant and positive effect on tourist arrivals from Asia and Europe. This may suggest that tourists from these two regions are less sensitive to the transportation cost compared with other factors that drive them to visit Cambodia. The dummy variables which represent the significant events all yield the expected signs.
