description | This paper focuses on the changes of state-level tourism demand in Malaysia
over three crisis events in Asia, i.e. 2003 SARS outbreak, 2004 Indonesian
tsunami and 2005 Bali bombing. Among the 13 states in Malaysia, tourism
demand in every state is varied. We find that the four highest demanding
states, namely Selangor, Penang, Malacca and Pahang, together with Perak
and Terengganu are significantly affected by the crises, with only Penang
has positive relationship, but negative relationships are found for the others.
We further find that the negative impacts of 2005 Bali bombings towards
Malaysian tourism demand are not less than the other two crises although
Malaysia is not implicated into the crisis. This may suggest that spillover
effect of tourism crisis is possible. |
