Abstract: AbstractBy using an error correction model, this study seeks to examine how tourism demand in Singapore depends on the ASEAN region (particularly Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand) besides other traditional factors such as income and prices. Although regional cooperation in trade has been widely researched, regional cooperation in tourism demand has not received much attention from tourism experts and this chapter therefore, breaks new ground by estimating the influence of ‘neighbourhood effects’ on tourism demand. Based on empirical results, this study suggests some policies for future development of Singapore's tourist industry.
