Does biodiversity matters in the tourism demand model? International evidence

This study examines the role of natural attractions, measured by biodiversity, in drawing international tourists. This study examines a global sample of 120 countries from 2010 to 2016. Several static approaches such as Pooled Ordinary Least Square (POLS), Random Effect (RE) and Fixed Effect (FE) mo...
