| Abstract: | The objective of the present study is to explore the factors affecting domestic tourists’ satisfaction with the quality of ecotourism services. Survey data collected from 457 visitors visiting Mekong Delta, Vietnam were analyzed to provide evidence. Results from multiple regression analysis using SPSS software have determined that Food and beverage Shopping & entertainment services, Perceived price, Nature destination landscape, Security and Safety, Transportation had positive associations with domestic travelers’ satisfaction. Besides, this research also showed that female tourists tend to be more satisfied than male tourists. The main findings of this study provide practical implications for travel agencies and tourism managers. It implies that they should improve these factors in order to maintain and enhance domestic tourist satisfaction with the quality of ecotourism services in Mekong Delta, Vietnam. |

| Abstract: | The paper investigates empirically the tourism-growth relationship in Greece, over the period 1960-2020. We find that the long-run relationship between tourism and output is positive and is characterized by a substantially faster convergence of output after a negative shock than after a positive one. Using asymmetric error-correction model analysis the results show that the short-term adjustment path occurs through the level of output for negative deviations from the long-run equilibrium, thus supporting the tourism-led growth hypothesis. Linear quantile regression analysis indicates that while the impact of tourism remains positive and significant across the output distribution it is stronger at lower quantiles of output than at higher ones. Our results have important policy implications, since the tourism-led growth hypothesis is a useful policy recommendation, but it should not be considered a cure-all policy. |
