Abstract
Overlooking the importance of non-stationarity and normally distributed
models in previous studies, this paper aims to fill the
gap in literature based on time series between 2000 and 2019 for
an Alps Adriatic country on tourism-led employment. Before
implementing the Granger Causality Test, the vector autoregressive
model is applied. The results confirmed that tourist arrivals
significantly impact the hospitality labour market in Slovenia as
employment in the lodging industry was driven in bi-causal directions
to overall tourist arrivals. The demonstrated validity of substantial
tourism-led employment has implications for job creation
and economic growth, focusing on domestic tourists.
