| Abstract: |
No effort has been made to connect good governance and the perfor- mance of
the tourism industry at the country level. We take a first step to provide
empirical evidence of this positive effect. Based on a data set of 100
countries between 2002 and 2012, the impact of the Worldwide Governance
Indicators (WGI) on the tourism industry is analyzed. Us- ing a dynamic panel
data approach, we highlight the role played by good governance in explaining
differences in countries’ tourism performances. |
