Modelling Chinese Outbound Tourism Demand to OBOR Countries

Abstract
With the development of “One Belt One Road” initiative, more and more Chinese tourists would like to travel OBOR countries. This study used panel-ARDL approach to show the impact determinants affecting Chinese outbound tourism demand to OBOR countries. Due to data limited, this study only analysis the top ten OBOR countries based on Chinese tourist arrivals. The evidence shows that income, relative price and FDI have positive effect on Chinese outbound tourism demand to OBOR countries in the long-run, however, FDI has a negative influence on Chinese outbound tourism demand in the short-run. And trade openness has no any influence for Chinese tourist arrivals. Keywords - OBOR Countries, Chinese Outbound tourism, Panel-ARDL Model
