Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The health economy is driven by tourism in many destinations, countries and even regions. Therefore, it is of great importance to analyse this part of the economy accordingly, and to predict future events credibly without misleading stories or discussions. Moreover, analysing past events could bring tourism to a higher level of productivity, customer satisfaction and price adjustment. Therefore, this Special Issue focuses on various strategies and methods for the tourism and hospitality industry.

It is of great importance to address the gaps in the strategic economic analysis of the tourism and hospitality sector by including the main economic and econometric findings in this Special Issue, in support of this research field. We encourage all scholars to contribute with their academic research, analysis or practical dissemination; thus, original papers not previously published elsewhere are sought after for the Special Issue. Topics include tourism economics, econometrics and tourism, quantitative research in tourism, hospitality and inflation, prices in tourism, inflation risks, volatility in cryptocurrencies, urban tourism, spatial tourism, strategies in tourism, time series and forecasting in tourism and unit root tests in tourism.

This research aims to study the relationship between economic growth and the increase in the tourism sector in Italy. Unlike most of the literature, we use the value added in the main economic sectors involved in tourism activity as a proxy for tourism development. The use of the tourism value added allows us to analyze the effect of both international and domestic tourism on per capita GDP growth. The main working hypothesis we tested is whether the relationship between GDP growth and the expansion of the tourism sector is in any way influenced by the geographic area referenced and/or the time period considered. Accordingly, we conducted our analysis at both the national and subnational (cluster) levels, splitting the original sample into two equal subperiods (1997–2008 and 2009–2019). The panel VAR analysis shows that for the country as a whole, tourism growth depends on the past value of the economic growth rate, especially for the subperiod 2009–2019. The cluster analysis clarifies that these outcomes are strongly determined by the cluster that covers the wealthiest Italian regions. Full article

Carbon Tax and Tourism Employment: Is There An Interplay?

The impact of the climate change response on the labour market is an important question for policymakers, while the net positive effect of green policies on the labour market is seen as one of the arguments in favour of a green transition. This is particularly important for the tourism labour market, which was severely hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the effect of carbon taxes on tourism employment for European countries that have levied a carbon tax over the past thirty years. A macroeconomic panel data regression model ex-post study was applied by contrasting the obtained results via a robustness check. The estimation results indicate a slightly positive and significant association between the carbon tax and tourism employment, which was additionally tested by considering revenue recycling, early adopters of the carbon tax, and a higher carbon tax compared to countries with a lower carbon tax. We cannot conclude that these factors matter for tourism employment, proving the robustness of the results. Revenue-neutral carbon taxation, policies to address the skills gap, push and pull incentives, and active labour market policies to facilitate the quick re-integration of jobseekers into employment are viewed as pivotal to ensure a smoother transition toward a sustainable tourism labour market.
