Abstract:
Authors        Jonathan Kölemo (890303) and Simon Jensen (870212)                         Title              Goodbye to Inbound and Outbound waste - A case study at IKEA’s Distribution                      Centre, Älmhult   Background The DC in Älmhult is working in two administrative teams; Inbound and Outbound. The relationship between and inside the Inbound and Outbound teams are complex and unclear. This increases the risk for bad and unnecessary work. The teams’ are handling tasks regarding planning and scheduling for unloading and loading shipments. The complexity at the DC in Älmhult also makes it difficult for managers to control and understand the whole flow within the two teams. The problem is based on complicated and unsynchronized tasks, poor utilization of IT systems and lack of integration and standardization within the teams work.   Purpose        The purpose with the thesis is to identify wastes within the teams’ work, and thereby provide suggestions for improvements.                 Method         A positivist approach has been used as a scientific perspective throughout the study. The scientific approach is deductive and the research strategy is qualitative. From the theoretical and empirical material an analysis has been designed that eventually lead to a conclusion.   Results            The study shows that both the Inbound and Outbound teams’ processes consist of a number of wastes. By using One-piece-flow, Standardization, Capacity and FIFO theories, the wastes can be reduced or completely eliminated.   Conclusions The most critical wastes have been chosen and by combining the four improvement theories, reductions of unnecessary activities can be made. By implementing the suggested improvements, the number of unnecessary activities can be reduced, and the total process and lead times will decrease. By doing this, the Flow planners can focus on more important activities and the same amount of staff can handle increased throughput of goods.

Abstract:
Push- and pull forces are considered the most important motivational factors in driving tourism demand. Push forces are motivational forces that arise due to the individual’s need to travel, while pull forces are destination attributes which pull the traveller to the specific destination and in doing so they satisfy the need of the traveller. Understanding why people travel, how they go about selecting their holiday destination and why one country is preferred to the other, is vital to the continued success of the tourism industry. The needs and wants of travellers are constantly changing, therefore, it is imperative that tourism businesses excel at developing new products and services which are better suited to the needs of consumers. The primary objective of this study was to determine the push- and pull forces that influence outbound destination choice in Nelson Mandela Bay Metropole. The study investigated and analysed how the independent variables (push- and pull factors) influence destination choice (dependent variable). From a comprehensive literature review, a hypothetical model was developed to test the relationships between push-and pull forces and destination choice. Twelve hypotheses were formulated to test the relationship between four push forces, eight pull forces and destination choice. The study sought the perceptions of Nelson Mandela Bay Metropole residents and utitised the quantitative research paradigm. A survey was conducted with the aid of a structured self-administered questionnaire, distributed via e-mail and as a hard copy. A combination of convenience- and snowball sampling was utilised. The final sample comprised 302 respondents. The validity of the measuring instrument was ascertained by using exploratory factor analysis. The Cronbach’s alpha values for reliability were calculated for each of the factors identified during the exploratory factor analysis. The top ten destinations visited and intended to be visited were indicated. United Kingdom was the most visited international destination for both leisure and business purposes, while The United States of America was the most popular international destination to visit next for both leisure and business purposes. Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis were used to test the correlation and significance of the relationships hypothesised between the various independent and dependent variables. Three statistically significant relationships were found between the push forces (physical and stature motivators and destination accessibility) and destination choice. Four statistically significant relationships were found between the pull forces (events, natural attractions, political issues and general infrastructure) and destination choice. The empirical findings further confirmed that an inter-relationship between push- and pull forces within destination choice does exist. However, pull forces influence push forces to a larger extent. Analysis of variance calculations were used to identify if significant relationships exist between the twelve demographic variables and nine reliable and valid independent variables. Furthermore, post-hoc Scheffè tests identified where the significant differences occurred between the different categories. Cohen’s d-values were calculated in order to assess the practical significance of the mean scores. A total of sixteen practical significant relationships were identified. Travel companies should compile travel packages and tours that serve the needs of both leisure- and business travellers. They can use social media as a communication- and promotion tool to entice travellers to specific destinations. The business travel packages should be all inclusive and include transportation, accommodation and even entries to events. The visual aids, utilised within the marketing material, should entice travellers to want to visit these destinations, and outline the favourable general infrastructure available. When marketing outbound destinations, travel service providers must pay attention to demographical variables such as gender, age, ethnical affiliation, income and marital status to compile travel packages that satisfy the needs of specific groups.

Full text
Abstract:
The South African automotive industry has been identified as an important influence on the economy of South Africa. In particular, it plays a role in job creation in a country with high unemployment rates. However, being linked to a global industry, its competitive position and future relevance have come into question on numerous occasions. After a period of isolation and protection, the local industry had to enter global competition. The competitive playing field had suddenly widened from companies competing locally amongst each other for local market share, to competing globally for international sales. In addition it was found that competition was not only limited to opposing brands but also existed within the subsidiaries of the same brand. The reason for this was the existence of overcapacity in the manufacturing facilities internationally. Coupled with this, most of the dominant vehicle manufacturers were creating more capacity in developing markets to support demand as well as to benefit from cheaper resources. There are of course many influencing factors on the competitive position of such an important industry. The value chain has been identified as a tool to analyse and compare the activities within rival businesses or industry role players. Two primary activities within the value chain are inbound logistics and outbound logistics. The objective of the research was to investigate the influence of inbound and outbound logistics on the competitiveness of the South African automotive industry. A literature review created the conceptual framework for the research. It was necessary to discuss the automotive industry in a global sense to understand the history and trends of the development within the industry. It was also necessary to understand the South African automotive industry within this context to identify its place and relevance in global terms. It was found that, although important to the local economy, the local industry was not a dominant force to be reckoned with and was in fact being over taken by many of its competitors. Part of this investigation was spent on the development of the local industry in a protected environment and what it meant for the growth of local content and exports. This was also important as the component manufacturers based in South Africa need critical mass to create an efficient platform to be globally competitive. It was found that historic development programmes did not do much to improve this aspect but there is optimism about the latest programme which promotes an increase in production volumes. The state of logistics in South Africa was critically analysed to understand the influence it has on the automotive industry. It was found that although the logistics infrastructure within South Africa is the best in Africa, it is behind the standards of its competitors. This is influencing the automotive industry as a result of inadequate rail infrastructure. The reason for this was that most of the freight which was being transported by road would be more efficiently transported by rail. The cost of logistics was also found to be high in South Africa and skills were also a concern to improve the current situation. A research questionnaire was created from the findings of the literature review. The questionnaire formed the primary research tool for this study. The sample was identified as respondents from vehicle assemblers and component manufacturers who would have sufficient knowledge of this topic. It was found that inbound and outbound logistics costs formed a relatively large component of total costs. The high levels of imported parts being used as well as export levels added to the logistics costs. This also caused uneconomical inventory levels as stock needed to be kept for longer periods before being replenished. The respondents were also aware of the fact that rail would improve the situation if the infrastructure was sufficient. The respondents seemed to be of the opinion that the skills of the employees responsible for logistics were not a major influencing factor and that logistics service providers were in addition, not creating an overwhelming cost improvement. The incentive programmes were also not seen to be doing much to address the influence of logistics on the automotive industry.

Abstract:

The Chinese outbound tourism is expected to boost within a near future. Recently the market has been very closed due to legislation but as China develops and people are getting richer the demand for travelling abroad increases and the government has to let go of the regulations.

In order for the Swedish tourism industry to benefit from the growing market, Sweden has to increase the awareness of the nation as a destination among the Chinese.

Through qualitative research we aim investigate how Sweden through nation branding and marketing can increase its share of the Chinese outbound tourism.

Except for nation branding a variety of marketing and branding tools are available. Two significant concepts are tourism marketing and destination branding. By utilizing all these different tools or concepts Sweden can raise the awareness of the nation as a possible tourism destination for Chinese outbound tourism. In order to create a comprehensive picture of the market we have also researched the general background of China and the nature of Chinese tourism.

VisitSweden and the Swedish Institute are two organizations already working with these concepts and other similar strategies and are herefore a natural part of this study. Scandinavian Perspectives and Miki Travel are two major travel agencies bringing Chinese tourists to Sweden and therefore possess great knowledge of the areas of interest. Therefore representatives from these organisations are involved in the empirical findings.

In order to get the whole picture Chinese citizens and Chinese students are interviewed about their perception of Sweden and tourism preferences.

The main conclusion of the thesis is that the different actors need to cooperate more and promote certain aspects of Sweden, for example Culture. Even a few obstacles that should be alleviated are identified.

Abstract:
The thesis focuses on optimization of inbound and outbound truck scheduling with thegoal of minimizing total operation time of cross docking. A model of cross docking isdeveloped; two different methods are applied on the model in order to find an optimaldocking sequence for receiving and shipping trucks and their assignment to receiving andshipping docks, and product routing from receiving to shipping trucks.The two methods used were mathematical modeling and heuristic algorithm. For the firstmethod, a mixed integer programming model was developed to minimize total operationtime; AMPL modeling language is used for the mathematical modeling for small sizedproblems. For the second method, a heuristic algorithm was developed to find nearoptimal solutions fast and was used for problems of larger size. In order to examine theperformance of heuristic algorithm, small problems were solved by both mathematicalmodel and the heuristic algorithm.The results from the mathematical model and the heuristic algorithm are very close withslight differences in receiving and shipping truck docking sequence, and in productrouting between these two methods. In addition, the heuristic algorithm also calculatesnumber of products transferring from receiving trucks to the temporary storage as well asthe number of products transferring from the temporary storage to shipping truck incontrary to the mathematical model. Total number of units of products passing throughthe temporary storage calculated by heuristic algorithm is presented and it can be seenthat the heuristic algorithm transfers to the temporary storage as few products as possible.Furthermore, in cases that receiving and shipping trucks are divided into groups orclusters in the cross docking operation, heuristic algorithm can be used to calculateoptimal number of receiving and shipping docks based on preferences of total operationtime or total number of products passing through the temporary storage.Another issue which is focused on is the problem of dock door assignment. Closeshipping docks to each receiving dock are determined and the percentage of productstransferred from a receiving dock to its close shipping docks is calculated as a method tomeasure the performance of the dock assignment solution.

Abstract:
The Chinese inbound tourism market to Australia has been acknowledged as an emerging market and a major export earner. However, Australian inbound tour operators experience difficulties in establishing and developing viable partner relationships with Chinese travel agents. Recognising the size, importance and complexity of this market, the major purpose of this research is to explore and investigate the crucial process of developing Sino-Australian partnership relationships in the tourism industry, and to educate Australian tourism operatives about this process to facilitate the establishment of business relationships with Chinese travel agents. Hence, the principal research question posed in this thesis is: How might Australian tourism product suppliers and marketers establish and maintain partnership relationships with Chinese travel agents to help Australia become a preferred tourist destination for Chinese tourists? This study is exploratory in nature and draws on applied marketing, management and cross-cultural theories on networking to explore the process of developing partnership relationships in the Chinese inbound tourism market to Australia. The literature on networking, and the development of networking relationships, has been theorised drawing principally on the marketing and management literature. The impact of cross-cultural differences and the effect of guanxi (connection), a key feature of Chinese business networking, on partnership relations between Chinese travel agents and Australian inbound tour operators, is also reviewed and discussed. One of the main contributions of this research is its multidisciplinary nature, drawing on relationship marketing and network theories and applying them to tourism research. Little research has been undertaken into tourism-based partnership relations in the cross-national context. Given the limited research conducted on this topic and its cross-cultural nature, a qualitative research method was adopted for this study. Specifically, this study utilised in-depth interviewing techniques to explore the relationships between Australian inbound tour operators and Chinese travel agents. This study identifies that the process of developing partnership relationships between Chinese travel agents and Australian inbound tour operators is, as expected, highly culturally embedded but in unexpected ways. Although all the Australian inbound tour operators in the study are of Chinese descent, they have adapted to Australian culture and business ethics, giving rise to communication problems that affect partnership relationships. A new stage model of the development of partnership relationships between Australian inbound tour operators and Chinese travel agents is therefore developed by incorporating cross-cultural factors into Western theories on networking and relationship marketing. In particular, the thesis identifies important factors in each stage of the process of developing business relationships. For example, resilient trust and mutual commitment, the pricing issue, word-of-mouth, and quality of services are all considered crucial in attaining long-term stable partnership relationships. Disproving popular myths about guanxi in some of the previous literature, the findings from this research demonstrate that, in China's economic transition period, guanxi plays a significant, but not decisive role in the process of developing partnership relationships between Chinese travel agents and Australian inbound tour operators. However, guanxi relationships can provide added value to the partnership relationships of Australian operators.

Abstract:
Inbound tour operators play a key role in sustainable tourism development, as they are centrally positioned in the distribution chain and provide the link between the supply and demand of tourism products and services. Embedded in this position, inbound tour operators can put pressure on their suppliers to operate more sustainably, while educating their customers on sustainable tourism practices, and influencing consumers’ decision-making before the purchasing of tourism products and services. Inbound tour operators can further implement sustainable tourism practices as part of their business operations. To date, little research has focussed on inbound tour operators’ contribution to sustainable tourism development, especially in a developing country context. Sustainable inbound tour operators can also become certified by a sustainable tourism certification programme to showcase their commitment to sustainability. Various studies have highlighted the history, benefits and issues related to certification programmes, but few studies have investigated the perspective that inbound tour operators have towards sustainable tourism certification programmes. Making use of a qualitative research approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 22 South African inbound tour operators to investigate and identify the sustainable tourism practices currently being adopted within their organisations. Content analysis was used to analyse the data. The findings produced a list of sustainable tourism practices currently being adopted by inbound tour operators in South Africa. This study proposes that sustainable tourism organisations should become certified by a national or global sustainable tourism certification programme, to prove that they are truly operating sustainably, thus decreasing the effects of greenwashing. In addition, the certification of tourism organisations can assist inbound tour operators in identifying truly sustainable suppliers, fostering the development of a sustainable supply chain management strategy.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT In this thesis, the researcher investigates the implicit and other motivations for Saudi outbound tourism. The Saudi Arabian outbound tourism market is recognised as one of the biggest tourism expenditure. Despite this, research relating to the motivations for Saudi outbound tourism, especially the implicit motives is sparse. It is in response to this that the researcher carried out this study and additionally, examined the influence of Saudi culture, demographic variables and tourists motivations on destination selection. This study employs a model entitled “Integration Model of Explicit and Implicit Motives” of Push and Pull Factors developed by the researcher to examine the explicit and implicit motives of Saudi outbound tourism. Data was collected from 486 Saudi outbound tourists (81% of the total sample) who travelled to three destinations (Bahrain, Egypt and France). Factor analyses were conducted to identify tourism motivation and cultural factors of Saudi society. Pearson correlation was used to find the relationship between push and pull factors of tourism motivation (explicit and implicit) and the relationship between Saudi culture and push and pull factors of tourism motivation (explicit and implicit). A series of ANOVA and T-tests were employed to examine the influence of demographic variables on tourism motivations. Logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression were used to find out the influence of tourism motivations, cultural factors and demographic variables on destination selection. The results of the factor analyses of explicit motives in this study identified seven push factors and four pull factors. The six push factors (intrinsic desire) extracted were: 'escape', 'prestige', 'social and sport', 'experience and excitement', 'enjoying natural resources', 'knowledge' and 'relaxation'. The four pull factors (attributes of destination) identified as underlying dimensions were 'expenditure', 'outdoor activities', 'natural and historical' and 'weather and environment'. In relation to the implicit motives, the factor analysis identified two push factors and three pull factors. The push factors were 'alcohol and sex desires' and 'fun and freedom desires'. On the other hand, the pull factors were 'alcohol and sex attractions', 'drugs attraction' and 'fun and freedom attractions'. The factor analysis of cultural items resulted in seven underlying domains, that include 'uncertainty avoidance', 'individualism', 'differences of groups in society (power distance)', 'social interdependence (collectivism)', 'helping others (collectivism)', 'inequalities and hierarchy (power distance)' and 'family relationship (collectivism)'. The Pearson's correlation analyses found significant correlations between the majority of push and pull dimensions in both explicit and implicit motives in all destinations. Moreover, the Pearson's correlation revealed a significant correlation between tourism motivations (push and pull factors), in both explicit and implicit motives, with cultural factors in all destinations under study (Bahrain, Egypt and France). The results of ANOVA and T-tests indicate significant differences in tourist's motivations according to the differences in demographic variables of tourists (age, income education, gender and martial statues). In other words, the demographic variables have an influence on tourism motivations. The findings of logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression indicate that the tourism motivations, cultural factors and demographic variables have an influence on destination selection. Moreover, the researcher carried out 25 interviewees This was in order to validate the results that were obtained from the quantitative approach regarding to tourism motivation of Saudi outbound tourists (explicit and implicit), cultural factors that describe the Saudi society, and to confirm the usefulness of using the third person technique to investigate sensitive issues. The results obtained from the interviews are similar to the results obtained from the questionnaires (quantitative approach). In relation to the usefulness of using the third person technique in investigating sensitive issues, the result of the interviews revealed that the third person technique has proved as one of the acceptable technique to get information about sensitive issues especially with countries that have values grounded on their religious heritage.

Full text
Abstract:
Open innovation (OI) is currently being applied as a new mode for firms to utilise both internal and external resources for R&D and new product developments. Investigating the impact of OI on China's high-tech firms is becoming increasingly important. Under the guidance of China's national innovation policy and the rise of innovation in high-tech industries, OI is regarded as having a positive impact on the competitiveness of Chinese firms and as bringing a significant innovation outcome. By utilising and integrating external knowledge and resources, OI can promote high-tech firms' R&D development in China's current transitional environment. A key objective of this thesis is to examine the overall relationship between locational factors, ambidexterity in OI and innovation performance given absorptive capacity (ACAP). The thesis reviews the current literature regarding OI, ambidexterity in OI, the cluster effect and ACAP and then integrates these lenses to build links for constructing a new model of the research. This includes the relationships between locational factors, ambidexterity in OI and innovation performance. It also examines the moderating effect of ACAP and, more importantly, the mediation effect of ambidexterity in OI on the relationship between locational factors and innovation performance. The findings of the thesis reveal that locational factors positively affect ambidexterity in OI, while ACAP positively moderates the relationship between the two factors. In addition, ambidexterity in OI - an optimal combination of inbound and outbound OI - can significantly influence innovation performance and is crucial to the ambidextrous conduction of firms. ACAP also positively moderates the relationship between ambidexterity in OI and innovation performance. Finally, ambidexterity in OI can mediate the relationship between locational factors and innovation performance, and ACAP moderates the overall relationship between locational factors, ambidexterity in OI and innovation performance. This thesis makes a number of contributions to the existing OI literature. First, building on the cluster perspective, the thesis contributes to the literature on OI by recognising the influence of locational factors on the balance in OI. The examination of ACAP also contributes to the literature by highlighting the contingent value of ACAP on the relationship between locational factors and the balance in OI. Second, the thesis contributes to the OI literature by bringing a greater conceptual clarity to the view of balance. A more balanced portfolio can bring better innovation performance than those that are less balanced. The thesis also enriches the knowledge in the relationship between the balance in OI and innovation performance, which demonstrates the moderating effect of ACAP on this relationship. Third, the study conceptualises the balance in OI that mediates the relationship between locational factors and innovation performance. It is a key contribution to the existing OI literature by advancing our understanding of the overall relationship among locational factors, the balance in OI and innovation performance.

Abstract:
From 1983 in which year Chinese people started being allowed to travel to the first outbound destination to nowadays that more than 150 countries have signed the ADS (approved destination status) with Chinese government, Chinese outbound tourism had a great progress in 32 years. During these years, more and more Chinese tourists could be seen in different places in the world. In 2014, the number of Chinese outbound tourists firstly achieve to over 100 million. The numbers are predicted to continue by 2020. It is meaningful to put Chinese outbound tourism as an object and discover its future development. Therefore, the aim of this study is set as to analyse the future diffusion of Chinese outbound tourism. The available theoretical foundation is diffusion theory (Rogers, 2003). Its mature and practical theoretical system guides the research framework of this study. This theory is reliable for analysing and discussing the diffusion of Chinese outbound tourism from some aspects such as S-shaped curve, communication channels, adopter classification, etc.  A questionnaire survey and some hypothetical indicators are designed in this study to fulfil the aim and research questions. Results are described from several aspects. The analysis of results prove that Chinese outbound tourism could be reckoned as an innovation. Finally, conclusions show that Chinese outbound tourism is currently going through the developing process between ‘innovators’ and ‘early adopters’. If the influencing factors which derived based on diffusion theory could be developed or solved positively, it is possible for Chinese outbound tourism to develop continually following the S-shaped curve in the future. The influencing factors has been studied out. They are the communication channels, the conscious gap between people who live in cities and people who live in towns and villages, the wealth gap between rich people and poor people. Not many related implementations are given out in this study, which needs future researches to explore.

Abstract:
L'elaborato mostra l'introduzione di un sistema di Key Performance Idicators nel caso aziendale TMHMI, azienda appartenente al gruppo Toyota. La tesi contiene un'introduzione teorica tratta dalla letteratura in materia di KPI, con particolare attenzione a quelli inerenti la funzione logistica. Una sezione dedicata all'azienda presenta il business ed i principi della lean production, sia a livello teorico sia con esempi tratti dall'operatività quotidiana. Il cuore della trattazione è costituito dalla presentazione dei KPI ideati per l'analisi del flusso del materiale in ingresso allo stabilimento TMHMI. Gli indicatori riguardano i flussi di inbound ed outbound della merce del provider logistico. Una prima sezione dell'analisi monitora la performance del fornitore nel rapporto con il provider logistico e consiste di 4 parametri che misurano altrettante aree di performance: la prenotazione dello scarico, l'esecuzione dello stesso, l'etichettatura del materiale ed il flusso dati di prebolla. I singoli contributi confluiscono in un parametro di performance generale calcolato per singolo fornitore. La seconda parte del sistema proposto monitora la puntualità del servizio di navettaggio quotidiano instaurato tra l'operatore logistico e lo stabilimento produttivo TMHMI. Una volta esposti gli indici e le logiche alla base del loro ottenimento, l'investimento nel sistema di indicatori proposto viene quantificato economicamente tramite scenari di costo differenziale e viene calcolata una soglia di break-even relativa alla percentuale di risoluzione delle anomalie. Superato tale valore, il progetto risulta economicamente auto-sostenibile in quanto i benefici generati diventano maggiori dei costi sostenuti. Il metodo di analisi utilizzato segue gli step del problem solving proposti da TMHMI ed un approccio orientato ai principi del Toyota Production System. L'osservazione diretta ed il confronto con gli attori coinvolti sono alla base dell'impostazione del sistema in oggetto.

The South African government has earmarked the Travel and Tourism industry as a key sector for economic growth as it plays an important role in stimulating the South African economy. Over the last few years the industry has placed greater emphasis on tour packages being offered to tourists, with one key group, Inbound Tour Operators, emerging to fulfil this important role. However, there have been limited studies conducted in the South African context which aim to isolate generalizable key success factors (KSFs) in the Travel and Tourism sector. By focusing on two important research streams, competitive advantage and international entrepreneurship, this study identified nine main KSFs. These KSFs were developed using Thomas and Long's KSF model (Thomas and Long, 2000). The general research approach was a qualitative, multiple-case study whereby six firms were selected from the inbound tour operator sub-sector of the SA tourism industry. The research methodology used in-depth interviews which were conducted with an industry expert and owner-managers of small, mediumand large inbound tour operators, serving and operating in international markets. This helped to gain an understanding of the complex and intricate ways that these firms comprehend KSFs and build their international strategy. As a result of this research approach, it was possible to identify how these KSF variables are influenced through management's decisions and how they essentially affect the overall competitive positions of the various firms in the industry. It also led to novel findings which challenged conventional international entrepreneurship thinking, such as the Uppsala approach, on the basis that firms do not only follow sequential steps when internationalising their businesses. It was found that entrepreneurial firms internationalise their businesses from the outset and extensively leverage off of internet-based technology and utilise export-based activities to engage international markets. The implications of the findings show that existing and new tour operators entering the tourism industry have clear KSFs which they can target in order to achieve success. These factors are variables which management can influence through their decision-making and affect the overall competitive positions of their firm in the industry. Nonetheless, further studies are required to identify KSFs in the other sectors within the tourism industry to provide valuable insights regarding how the international competitiveness of the local tourism industry as a whole may be improved.

Abstract:
Tyrimo objektas. Atvykstamojo turizmo paslaugų struktūra Lietuvoje. Problema. Vienas iš efektyviausių Lietuvos tarptautinio konkurencingumo didinimo būdų yra turizmo industrijos plėtotė. Lietuvos geopolitinė padėtis ir turizmo išteklių specifika sąlygoja palankias galimybes plėtoti atvykstamąjį turizmą šalyje, kurio vystymuisi didelis dėmesys skiriamas valstybiniu mastu: Lietuvos vyriausybė, rengdama bendrą Lietuvos vystymosi koncepciją, turizmą priskyrė prie prioritetinių ūkio plėtotės krypčių ir įsipareigojo sudaryti palankias sąlygas turizmo vystymuisi. Tačiau realus turizmo paslaugų plėtojimo skatinimas yra minimalus, o tai lemia dalinę turizmo sektoriaus stagnaciją. Norint kuo geriau išnaudoti atvykstamojo turizmo organizavimo Lietuvoje teikiamas galimybes ekonominiam šalies vystymuisi, būtina tobulinti esamą atvykstamojo turizmo paslaugų struktūrą Lietuvoje, siekiant kuo efektyviau patenkinti užsienio turistų poreikius ir taip padidinti atvykstamojo turizmo Lietuvoje paslaugų paklausą. Tyrimo tikslas. Ištirti atvykstamojo turizmo Lietuvoje organizavimo principus ir paslaugų struktūrą bei numatyti atvykstamojo turizmo paslaugų struktūros Lietuvoje tobulinimo galimybes.

Object of research. The inbound tourism services structure in Lithuania. Issue. The tourism industry development is one of the most effective ways of increasing Lithuania‘s international competitive ability. The geopolitical location and the particularity of tourism resources of Lithuania determine the favorable possibilities of the inbound tourism development in this country; moreover, it is given a great attention on a national scale. Preparing the general conception of Lithuania development the government of Lithuania ascribed the tourism to priority directions of the economy development and undertook to create the favorable conditions for tourism development. However, the encouragement of the real tourism services development is minimum, which decides the partial stagnation of the tourism sector. It is necessary to improve the current inbound tourism services structure in Lithuania in order to use the given possibilities of the inbound tourism organization in Lithuania as soon as possible for the economical development of this country and to satisfy the needs of overseas tourists more effectively and thus to increase the services demand of the arrival tourism in Lithuania.

Abstract:
This paper studies the difference in number of tourist arrivals between the Olympic games and the Paralympic games in the hosting countries. Using the difference-in-differences method, results show that there is a difference in the number of tourist arrivals between the summer games and winter games, and that hosting the games have a bigger impact on smaller city than on bigger one. They also show that since Vancouver 2010 the Olympic games always attracted more tourists than the Paralympic games. The main conclusion of this paper is that there is definitely a difference in the tourist inflow between the Olympic games and Paralympic games and that the Olympic games attract more tourists than the Paralympic games.

Abstract:
Este estudo objetiva compreender a dinâmica origem-destino dos fluxos turísticos a partir de seus fatores causais. Para explicar esse fenômeno, são propostas algumas adaptações dos princípios da gravitação social, constituindo o Modelo Gravitacional do Turismo (MGT). São, inicialmente, estudados os já existentes modelos teóricos e estatísticos que visam a explicar o turismo, além das pesquisas já desenvolvidas sobre a aplicação dos modelos gravitacionais ao turismo. Em seguida, as proposições do MGT são desenvolvidas por meio de discussões verbalizadas, da construção de um diagrama e de descrições matemáticas. Por fim, a validade do MGT é testada por um estudo estatístico empírico dos fluxos turísticos domésticos no Brasil. As conclusões do estudo apontam para a validade do modelo, indicando que a dinâmica origem-destino dos fluxos turísticos pode ser explicada com base na interação das forças repulsiva, atrativa e de atrito definidas pelo estudo.
This study intends to understand the origin-destination dynamics of the tourism flows, based on their causal factors. To explain this phenomenum, the paper proposes some adaptations of the social gravitation principles to the tourism activity, leading to the Tourism Gravitational Model (MGT). Initially, it studies the theoretical and statistical existing models that intend to explain the tourism activity, as well as researches on the application of gravity models to tourism. Then, the propositions of MGT are developed through verbalised argumentations, a diagram construct and a mathematical description. At last, the validity of MGT is tested through an empirical statistical study of domestic tourism flows in Brazil. The conclusions point to the validity of the proposed model, evidencing that the origin-destination dynamics of tourism flows can be explained from the interaction of the repulsive, attractive and friction forces defined by the study.

Abstract:
Up to now, the marketing of the Lambayeque region as a tourist destination has been able to make important progress in the growth of domestic tourists flow. 40% of these tourists come from the capital, mostly they arrive in this region, mainly for business reasons. However, little progress is shown in relation to Incoming tourism, because from 100% of visitors who arrive to this touristic destination only 5% are of foreign origin.Furthermore, in 2011, from the total foreign tourists that visited the Moche Route - La Libertad region and Lambayeque region, 70% remained in the first one and only 30% visited both regions, completing the touristic circuit. The recommendations of the teachers of the Universidad del Pacífico, Universidad Esan and Centrum Católica, who have been interviewed are compared with the businessmen’s opinions in the region, showing the importance of targeting the tourism marketing strategy. Thus, it seeks to create value in different niches of the source markets, to prioritize potential tourists from brotherly countries, to link emotionally the tourist with the city, to build brands for each touristic product, to invest in highly specialized tourism and to improve significantly the clusters organization of the tourism sector in the region.We conclude that, in the region of Lambayeque, isolated efforts have been made regarding the incoming marketing, but, according to the needs, tastes and preferences of the potential tourist, this does not fulfill the international standards. This is demonstrated by the results achieved up to now—in terms of the foreign visitors’ number—. To that extent, It emphasizes the importance of the design and the implementation of a marketing plan connected with market reality.It should profit from the national brand and develop regional and local brand based on the international touristic demand-supply relation to market niches.
A la fecha, el marketing de la región de Lambayeque como destino turístico ha logrado avanzar en el crecimiento del flujo de turistas nacionales. Estos, en un 40%, provienen de la capital y, en su mayoría, arriban a esta región, principalmente, por razones de negocio. Sin embargo, poco avance se muestra en cuanto al turismo receptivo, dado que del 100% de visitantes que llegan a este destino turístico solo el 5% es de origen extranjero. Además, del total de turistas extranjeros que, en el 2011, visitaron la ruta Moche —región de La Libertad y región de Lambayeque—, el 70% se quedó en la primera y solo el 30% visitó ambas regiones, completando el circuito turístico. Las recomendaciones de los profesores entrevistados de la Universidad del Pacífico, Universidad Esan y Centrum Católica —que son comparadas con las opiniones de los empresarios de la región—, muestran la importancia de focalizar la estrategia de marketing turístico. De este modo, se busca generar valor en los diferentes nichos de los mercados emisores, priorizar los potenciales turistas de países hermanos, vincular emocionalmente al turista con la ciudad, desarrollar marcas para cada producto turístico, invertir en turismo altamente especializado y mejorar significativamente la organización de los clusters del sector turismo de la región. Se concluye que, en la región de Lambayeque, se han realizado esfuerzos aislados respecto al marketing receptivo, pero que, de acuerdo a las necesidades, gustos y preferencias del potencial turista, este no cumple con estándares internacionales. Ello se demuestra por los resultados logrados a la fecha —en cuanto al número de visitantes extranjeros—. En esa medida, destaca la importancia del diseño y de la implementación de un plan de marketing conectados con la realidad del mercado. Se debe ubicar bajo la cobertura de la marca país y desarrollar la marca regional y local basándose en la relación demanda-oferta turística internacional por nichos de mercado.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate what marketing measures stores carry out to attract and simplify the purchase for the Chinese customer.  Completion: A qualitative study has been conducted focusing on how Chinese tourism has affected the Swedish retail trade. The study is based on a total of twelve different respondents who are localized in the Stockholm area. A total of 9 semi-structured interviews were conducted and 2 email correspondence. Nine of these consist of retail stores, the rest of which consists of a marketing company that focuses on the Chinese market, a Chinese newspaper independent of China and a communications company for the Swedish tourism industry.  Results: The findings of the study show that there are indications and a rising interest in introducing Chinese social media and payment methods in the future. This is mainly due to the fact of the observed increase of Chinese customers as well as this group accounting for 45% of Sweden’s total tax-free trade. Among the respondents, only three shops have adopted the payment methods today and one has been present on WeChat.
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka marknadsföringsåtgärder butiker genomför för att attrahera och förenkla kinesernas köp Genomförande: En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med fokus på hur den kinesiska turismen har påverkat den svenska detaljhandeln. Studien baseras på totalt tolv olika respondenter som befinner sig i Stockholmsområdet. Nio av dessa består av butiker inom retail branschen, resterande består av ett marknadsföringsföretag som fokuserar på denna marknad, en kinesisk tidning oberoende av Kina samt ett kommunikationsföretag för svensk turistnäring. Det utfördes en systematisk tematisering av det insamlande materialet. Slutsats: Denna studie fann att bland de intervjuade butikerna var det endast 3 butiker idag som har antagit de kinesiskabetalningsmetoderna och att en använder sig av Kinas sociala medieapp, WeChat. Resterande respondenter meddelade att det finns funderingar på att införa dessa i framtiden då det observerat en stor ökning av kinesiska kunder under de senaste åren samt att denna grupp enligt Global Blue står för 45% av Sveriges totala tax free handel.

The tourism industry is now becoming one of the most important drivers of economic recovery through boosting foreign currency exchange. For many countries, the tourism industry helps to deliver economic growth and job creation. Therefore, efficientive prediction and accurate analysis of the number of tourists that visit a country is becoming an important issue in order to make sure the tourism sector can plan ahead to meet the demand. This thesis uses data from the immigration department to analyse the amount of Taiwanese citizens who travel to other countries and number of tourists that arrive in Taiwan from other countries. The inbound tourists are divided into two categories, the tourists from Mainland China and from other countries elsewhere in the world. The purpose of this thesis is to predict the volume of tourists travelling to and from Taiwan. The research methods of this thesis include autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), support vector regression (SVR) and artificial neural network (ANN). Furthmore, this thesis would like to make a comparsion of the prediction ability among thees three research methods. The results of this thesis show that the ANN research method is better than the other two methods for predicting the numbers of inbound tourist. Addtionally, the results indicat that the ARIMA research method has the better performance in the case of prediction of the outbound tourists. The research results can provide a very useful reference to the tourism sector and to government.

Relatório de Estágio do Mestrado em Turismo, Território e Patrimónios apresentado à Faculdade de Letras
O Turismo de Negócios e Eventos ou a Meetings Industry é um nicho de mercado que está a ganhar visibilidade em todo o mundo, principalmente no espaço urbano dos países desenvolvidos tendo em conta o seu grande contributo para o destino onde atua. A eleição do tema em questão surgiu de um estágio curricular realizado no Cluster comercial dos três hotéis Meliá situados na cidade de Palma, em Maiorca.Visto que o desempenho profissional da mestranda tinha uma forte vertente MI, sigla que faz referência ao segmento turístico de eventos, sejam eles encontros, incentivos, conferências e exibições ou feiras, decidiu-se estudar o segmento nos hotéis Meliá de Palma onde a estudante estagiou, através da realização de uma entrevista aos gestores/organizadores de eventos da Meetings Industry. A presente produção escrita inicia-se com um capítulo concetual acerca do fenómeno turístico, seguido de uma contextualização ao nível do turismo internacional, uma análise turística em Espanha e posteriormente ao nível regional, isto é, no arquipélago das Baleares com incidência na cidade de Palma.Segue-se uma apreciação global da Meetings Industry ao nível internacional, nacional e regional, dando a conhecer os principais destinos emissores e recetores desta indústria, as suas principais características e as diferentes componentes que a integram.Por último, as respostas da entrevista são analisadas e estudadas, proporcionando uma ideia geral da presença deste segmento na cidade de Palma, oferecendo a possibilidade de identificar as potencialidades e os pontos débeis da oferta turística do destino insular enquanto destino de MI.
The Business Tourism or the Meetings Industry is a market niche which is increasingly gaining global visibility, especially in the urban spaces of the developed countries due to its massive contribution. The choice of this work’s theme has came up from a traineeship carried out by the student in the Group Sales department of three Meliá hotels located in Palma, in Mallorca island. Bearing in mind that the student professional performance had a strong MI component, an acronym which makes reference to the events tourism segment such as meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, the decision of analysing this segment seemed the most coherent one. Thus, the Melia hotels in Palma were object of study by making an interview to the Meetings Industry hotel managers.The present writing production introduction chapter talks about tourism concepts, forward by an international tourism context, an analysis of the tourism phenomenon in Spain and also in the Balearic archipelago, more precisely in the city of Palma.Afterwards a Meetings Industry global, national and regional appreciation is made, reporting the main outbound and inbound tourism destinations, its main characteristics and the different integrating components.Lastly but certainly not least, the interview data is analysed, providing a general idea about this tourist segment presence in Palma and giving the oportunitty to identify the strengths and the weaknesses of the tourism supply in the island destination as a MI destination.

Cross-docking is an operating strategy at flow consolidation terminals or distribution centers that moves items from the receiving dock to shipping dock directly without putting them into storage. By arranging for immediate cross-docking of incoming product, customers are able to reduce to a minimum in-transit time for their incoming product. However, cross docking requires close synchronization of all inbound and outbound shipments. This research intends to schedule the inbound and outbound vehicle routes serving a cross-docking terminal. In this research vehicles are dispatched according to a fixed schedule (headway). Our problem is to minimize the total system costs of operating a given distribution network, including especially the value of delay time at the consolidation terminal. Three different distribution networks are discussed: one-to-one, many-to-one, and many-to-many distribution. Three strategies including uncoordinated schedules, coordinated schedules with a single common headway and integer-ratio headways are proposed. For integer-ratio headway coordination a heuristic algorithm incorporating branch-and-bound is developed to obtain the optimal (or near optimal) inbound and outbound headways as integer multiples of a base cycle. The base cycle to insure that vehicles on different routes can be operated “in phase” and arrive simultaneously (or nearly so) at the terminal. Three illustrations representing different distribution networks are tested. The results show that as demand decreases (headway increases), coordinated schedules become desirable. They also show, for routes with significantly different characteristics (e.g., demand and route capacity), that the benefit of coordination with integer-ratio headway is large than with a single common headway.

Sourced from governmental data bank, a 10-year-spectrum data for monthly inbound tourists and outbound travellers from 2007 to 2016 for top 10 markets in Taiwan, were collected and analysed by this study to demonstrate, explore, cluster, and monitor the spatiotemporal deficit with respect to different genders. This study, not only explored the static phenomenon that deficit or surplus of different gender occurred in each market, but monitored its dynamic disturbance as well. Statistical procedures including correlation analysis, K-mean clustering, MANOVA analysis, and MDS, were respectively adopted to discover the correlative relation among each different market, determine each observation into proper group, testify the hypotheses of heterogeneous cluster centres significantly exist, and down-level the spatial complexity from high-dimension to 2-dimension in order to better interpret the patterns revealed behind the original space.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Psicologia
Vários estudos têm apontado o impacto do trabalho em call-center em várias dimensões físicas e psicológicas do indivíduo; no entanto pouca investigação tem comparado tipos de serviços neste contexto de trabalho. Assim, este estudo teve dois objetivos: (1) fazer uma análise descritiva das características do trabalho, do nível geral de stress, das principais fontes de stress, do nível de comprometimento com a organização e dos níveis de satisfação com a vida e (2) comparar os serviços inbound e outbound relativamente a estas variáveis para apurar se existem diferenças significativas. Participaram neste estudo 274 operadores de call-center, 191 do serviço inbound e 83 do serviço outbound. Na recolha de dados foi usado um protocolo de investigação constituído por diversas escalas, em formato de papel e online. Verificou-se que participantes do grupo inbound consideraram usar uma maior variedade de competências e ter níveis superiores de stress relacionados com problemas familiares do que os participantes do grupo outbound. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas em relação ao comprometimento com a organização e à satisfação com a vida entre os dois tipos de operadores. Assim, este estudo vem enriquecer a compreensão deste tipo de trabalho e das suas repercussões nos operadores dos serviços inbound e outbound.
Several studies have pointed out the impact that the work in call-center can have in distinct physical and psychological dimensions of the individual; however less research has compared types of services within this work context. Thus, this study had two aims: (1) to perform a descriptive analysis of the work characteristics, the general level of stress, the main reasons for stress, the level of organizational commitment and the levels of satisfaction with life, and (2) to compare inbound and outbound services regarding these variables to see if there are significant differences. 274 call-center operators participated in this study, 191 from the inbound service and 83 from the outbound services. For the data collection, a research protocol was used, constituted by several scales, in paper and online format. Participants from the inbound group considered to use a greater variety of competences and to have higher levels of stress related to family problems than participants from the outbound group. No significant differences were found regarding the organizational commitment and satisfaction with life. This study comes to extend the understanding of this type of work and its consequences on the operators from inbound and outbound services.

Abstract:
O mercado cinematográfico vale mundialmente 32.6 mil milhões de dólares (2011) e as receitas crescem ano após ano, mas o numero de bilhetes vendidos tem vindo a decrescer na maioria dos países. Devido a este facto conjugado com uma concorrência feroz, os estúdios de cinema e os marketeers têm que compreender melhor as necessidades dos seus clientes, a fim de alcança-los da forma mais eficiente possível. Entretanto, os estúdios de cinema ainda gastam quantias enormes de dinheiro em publicidades televisivas e outras técnicas de outbound markting, mesmo que recentemente os estúdios mostrem que o público cinematográfico pode ser melhor alcançado através da Internet. Esta tese tem o propósito de compreender como o público cinematográfico escolhe o filme que irá ver e qual a melhor maneira de publicita-lo. Para melhor compreender o público cinematográfico, foi efectuada um estudo científico, que revelou que o público cinematográfico com menos de 55 anos, usa a Internet e visita as redes sociais diariamente. Este estudo mostra claramente a importância do inbound marketing e que os distribuidores de filmes portugueses devem aumentar a sua presença na Internet.
The worldwide movie market worth 32.6 billion dollars (2011) and its total income keeps growing every year, but the number of sold tickets is decreasing in most countries. Due to this and the fierce competition, film studios and marketers have to understand better their customers‟ need in order to be able to reach them the most efficient way possible. At the same time, movie studios still spend enormous amount of money on TV advertisements and other outbound marketing techniques, even though recent studies show that moviegoers can be better reached on the Internet. This thesis has the purpose to understand how moviegoers choose the film to watch and what are the best ways to advertise a movie. To better understand the Portuguese moviegoers, a primary research was conducted. It revealed that moviegoers younger than 55 years use Internet and visit social media sites on a daily bases. This clearly shows the importance of inbound marketing and that Portuguese distributors should increase their online presence.

Whether International tourism can help the economic growth is an important macroeconomic question for both investors and government. International tourism is one of the most important business sectors in the world. International tourism and transport are the leading industries in the world of services. As a vehicle for economic development. The tourism industry contributes to the economy by attracting tourist from other countries. The attraction of the tourists results in greater employment opportunities that helps to stimulate the growth of tourism industry, also by increased foreign exchange income and as well the overall economic growth. Since 72% of Taiwan GDP comes from service industry this research is mainly directed towards finding out the contribution of international tourism sector towards the GDP in Taiwan. The researcher has used spearman correlation and regression analysis tool to define the relationship between the variables and found out positive outcome. Looking from the world perspective Taiwan international tourism sector do not reach average contribution to GDP. World average direct contribution from tourism sector to GDP is 3.1 % and Northeast Asia region 2.5%, but Taiwan’s direct contribution towards GDP is 2%. While Total tourism contribution of the world to GDP is 10.2 %, Northeast Asia 8.2% but Taiwan’s only 5%. This showcase that there is lots of opportunities for Taiwan’s international sector, and this opportunities have to be reached through government policies and reforms that helps to improve the tourism sector infrastructure and finds new markets.

The tourism industry besteads the transportation, accommodation, catering, entertainment and travel agency all over the world has been blooming in the past few decades. In 1999, global international tourist receipts were around US$455 billion from an estimated 664 million tourists. According to the World Tourism Organization(2000), international tourist arrivals worldwide are forecasted to reach 1.6 billion and tourism receipts will be over US$2 trillion by the year 2020(WTO, 2000). The tourism industry is one of the largest growing industries. In 1999, tourism growth is particularly rapid in East Asia and the Pacific, with a growth rate of 11.5% in tourist arrivals. Tourist arrivals in the East Asia and Pacific regions reached 97.5 million and tourism receipts were over US$73.4 billion (WTO, 2002). In 2000, more than 80% of travel to Asian destinations was via fully package tours. By 2006, this figure had dropped to just over 50% due to preference for Foreign Independent Tours and partial package travel (WTO, 2006). As a result of most of prior studies usually focus on outbound tourists’ motivation, information search behavior, choice of destination, degree of involving buy…etc. But there are seldom researches about the determinants of consumers’ choosing outbound tourism modes. Therefore, this research is going to fill the research gap and base on the framework of Theory of Planned Behavior discussing about the determinants of consumers’ outbound tourism mode. This study utilized the concept of Theory of Planned Behavior to investigate the cause and affect the determinants of customers’ outbound tourism mode. Data was collected from a questionnaire given to students of Hong Kong Baptist University. Multinomial Logistic Regression (MNL) was then used to test the determinants of consumers’ tourism mode among every construct in attitude (including travel budget and content of tourism), with subjective norm and with perceived behavioral control. We also put two control variables destination image and promotion impact to see the effect of the consumers’ outbound tourism mode choices. Empirical results verify that consumers demand assorted content of tourism, have more perceived behavioral control, and promotion impact would choose Foreign Independent Tour as their outbound tourism mode. The managerial implications of this study can provide appropriate strategies for tourism industry or related service industries to develop and execute their tourism product and related activities more efficiently.

Globalization for decade has changed and integrated the supply chain. Cross docking is designed by pursuing the demand of mass transport and time efficiency. In this research, we focus on the short term scheduling problem─scheduling of inbound and outbound trucks in cross docking systems without temporary storage. The short term scheduling problems are more flexible and have key influence on total transport time. In this research, we design three different hybrid PSO algorithms to solve scheduling of inbound and outbound trucks in cross docking systems. We expect to get the better truck scheduling, and in the meanwhile reduce the waiting time and the total operating time for each truck. The setting of the problem parameters is introduced and the results of three hybrid algorithms are analyzed and compared. It can be found that these three hybrid algorithms can obtain the satisfactory solutions effectively for the large-sized problems. Furthermore, we find that the hybrid algorithm which combines with PSO and VNS can find the best solutions in the large-sized problems within these three approaches.

Recently, more and more of research have focused on the topic of cross-docking systems, since the rise of supply chain management for distribution center. Cross-docking system is one of the techniques for supply chain management that reducing inventory cost and increasing cargos delivery efficiency. A wide range of research topics for the cross-docking, include location of cross-docking terminals, layout of the terminal and truck scheduling. Our research concentrates on the operation about the inbound and outbound trucks scheduling in which determines the arrival and departure times for the trucks. In addition, we consider multiple parallel machines that can decompose cargos to small package in system. With the multiple loading and unloading dock doors more than one trucks can simultaneously enter the cross docking system to load or unload cargos. There is a limited capacity space for storing the unloaded products temporarily. The objective is to minimize maximum lateness. A well-planed truck scheduling will increase the efficiency of the cross-docking system, and the outbound trucks can deliver products before due date. For the problem, we construct an integer programming model. We propose a heuristic algorithm to solve a large size problem instance. According to the numerical results our heuristic algorithm can indeed get good solutions in reasonable time.

Recently, more and more research has focused on the topic of cross-docking systems. Adopting a cross-docking system is one of the techniques for supply chain management. The research of the cross-dock system can be divided into three categories: operational, tactical and strategic operations. Our study concentrates on the operational operation about the inbound and outbound trucks scheduling in which determines the arrival and departure times for the inbound and outbound trucks. With the multiple loading and unloading dock doors more than one trucks can simultaneously enter the cross docking system to load or unload cargos. In addition, there is a limited capacity space for storing the unloaded products temporarily, which affects the sequence and the loading operation for the inbound trucks. A well-planed truck scheduling will increase the efficiency of the cross-docking system, and the outbound trucks can deliver products on time to the retailers and improve the customer satisfaction. For the problem, we construct a mixed integer programming model. And then, we propose the heuristic algorithm (CDS Heurisitc Algorithm) to solve the medium and large size problem instance, which result show that our heuristic algorithm can indeed get good solutions in reasonable time.

Using the annual data with 187 trade partners from 1992 to 2015, we explore whether the increase in the inbound tourism helps Taiwan’s export. Recently, the Poisson pseudo maximum likelihood (PPML) approach is believed to be able to deal with the problem of zero trade value and heterogeneity, thus it is employed in this study to compare the empirical results with those obtained from the ordinary least squares (OLS) method, the fixed-effect model and the random-effect model that are commonly used in the traditional gravity model. Since the current inbound tourism may have the endogenous problem with other explanatory variables, we also consider replacing the current tourism flow by the one-year lagged tourism flow. Furthermore, we consider analyses for three different samples: the whole sample of 187 countries, the sample excluding the U.S. and the sample of 31 countries which have tourists visiting Taiwan. We found that the result from the sample excluding the U.S. is the most reasonable one. The empirical results show that PPML is more capable to solve the zero-trade problem and heterogeneity than other estimators. Finally, we conclude that the development of Taiwan's tourism industry has a positive impact on the export growth.

According to the World Tourism Organization noted that since 1950 the number of international tourism shows almost uninterrupted growth, in other words, the demand of travel abroad has been rising, and tourism industry for the countries’ economic is increasingly important issue. However, previous studies were focus on the causal relationship between tourism development and economic growth. Few studies the impact of economic growth on outbound tourism demand, or studies on single-country. This paper applies the Panel smooth transition regression models to investigate the nonlinear relationship between tourism development and economic growth when a threshold variable is used. We use panel data for 102 countries for the 1995-2009 period. The results of the threshold regression show that when the threshold value is 22.5%. The relationship between GDP per capita and international tourism expenditures exists structural change, and forms transition regime, when saving rate is lower than threshold vale, 1 unit increase in GDP per capita will cause international tourism expenditures to increase by 0.0196%; when saving rate is higher than threshold vale, GDP per capita will cause international tourism expenditures to increase by 0.0173% through transition function adjusted. There exists a significantly positive relationship between economic growth and the tourism expenditures no matter saving rate is higher or lower than threshold vale. This paper support Keynes (1936) finds fundamental psychological law, and Rudez (2008) indicates that economic growth causes real income to increase, and lowers sensitiveness of tourism demand to income changes when saving rate is higher than threshold vale.
