Sažetak
Tourism development contributes to higher economic output and
is highly integrated with environmental quality and associated
technologies. Although many studies explore the impact of tourism on carbon emissions; however, little is known regarding the
effects of environmental pollution and technology innovation on
tourism growth. Therefore, this study examines the impact of
technology innovation and environmental pollution on inbound
tourism in emerging economies. In doing so, we employ a
recently developed panel quantiles regression and found that
technology innovation and economic growth stimulate inbound
tourism while increasing emissions limit tourist arrivals. These
effects are not equally observed across all quantiles. Particularly,
the impact of technology innovation is highest at higher quantiles, while the impact of the emissions is highest at lower quantiles. These results suggest that inbound tourism is asymmetrically
affected by technology innovation and environmental quality of
host destinations. Hence, emerging economies should encourage
sustainable tourism by integrating green technologies and minimizing ecological hazards.
