Abstract: This paper investigates the time-varying interaction between tourist arrivals (TA) and unemployment rate (UE) in Hong Kong. We find that TA negatively influence UE, implying that lack of tourism hurts employment prospects. We also document a positive influence on TA from UE, indicating that unemployment stimulates related authorities to promote tourism.
