Description The hypothesis that political violence deters tourism is mainly based on case study evidence and a few
quantitative studies confined to a small sample of countries. Two estimation techniques—a fixed-effects
panel estimator with contemporaneous effects only and a dynamic generalized method of moments estimator—are
used to test the impact of various forms of political violence on tourism. Both models show strong
evidence that human rights violations, conflict, and other politically motivated violent events negatively
affect tourist arrivals. In a dynamic model, even if autocratic regimes do not resort to violence, they have
lower numbers of tourist arrivals than more democratic regimes. Results also show evidence for
intraregional, negative spillover, and cross-regional substitution effects.
