Peter Forsyth and Larry Dwyer

Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, 1996, vol. 10, issue 1, 13-22

Abstract: Tourism has been growing rapidly in the Asian‐Pacific region, outward tourism propelled by rising incomes and inward tourism by falling airfares. This article draws on recent literature to describe the development of the tourist industry in the region and government policies concerning tourism. It discusses some of the industry's problems, such as environmental effects, shortage of appropriate skills and changes in competitiveness, especially for Japan and Singapore.
