Abstract

This study primarily aimed to reveal the nature of the relationship between Jordan’s economic growth and tourism during (1995 - 2022). Therefore, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model was used to achieve this objective,. Through the empirical findings, a long-run equilibrium relationship was revealed to exist between international tourism revenues and the gross domestic product (GDP). A unidirectional relationship was unveiled through the Granger causality test, which flows from international tourism revenues to GDP but not the reverse. Regarding Jordan, the tourism-led growth hypothesis was confirmed according to the relationship revealed to exist between tourism and economic growth.
