The Effect of Exchange Rates Volatility on International Tourism Demand to South Korea - An Empirical Analysis using VAR Model and Impulse Response Function -
This paper examines the effect of exchange rate volatility on international tourism demand in South Korea using econometric models. The empirical results show that the exchange rate volatility is a determinant factor in the fluctuation of South Korea’s inbound international tourism demand and affects different tourist behavioral intentions from the studied countries. As a result researchers but most importantly policymakers should pay close attention to exchange rates when implementing policies designed to stimulate tourism. This research has significant both theoretical and practical implications as it helps to understand the effect of exchange rates on South Korea's international tourism demand and provides a complementary academic approach to evaluating the role of exchange rates in tourist behavioral intention.
