An Empirical Analysis Of The Determinants Of Public Revenue In Algeria's Tourism Sector

Authors : Bendjouad Messaoud .

Abstract

This study aims to empirically analyze the determinants of public revenue in Algeria’s tourism sector by conducting an analytical and econometric examination based on annual data from the period 2000 to 2023. The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was employed to explore the relationship between public tourism revenue and key explanatory variables, including total tourist nights, total tourist arrivals, and employment in the tourism sector. The results reveal a positive relationship, both in the short and long term, between public tourism revenue and both total tourist nights and tourist arrivals. In contrast, a negative relationship was found between public tourism revenue and the number of employees in the tourism sector during the same period.
