    Tourism, foreign direct investment and economic growth in India
    (Africa Journals, 2020) Mishra P.K.; Rout H.B.; Kestwal A.K.
    This paper studied the association between tourism sector development, FDI flows to the tourism sector and real economic growth in India for the period 2000 to 2018. The findings support the occurrence of the tourism-led growth hypothesis in India. But we did not find any significant impact of FDI flows to the tourism sector on the economic growth in the country. Such a finding may be due to the low quantum of FDI equity flows to hotel and tourism sector in India. It is recommended that the policy circle in the country should focus on tourism sector development and its promotion in the international market.

    Tourism-energy-environment-growth nexus: Evidence from India
    (ASERS Publishing House, 2019) Mishra P.K.; Rout H.B.; Kestwal A.K.
    This paper examined the dynamic linkages between tourism development, energy consumption, environmental degradation and economic growth in the context of the Indian economy. The short-run findings establish a chain-link between tourism development, economic growth, energy consumption and environmental degradation. Foreign tourist arrivals positively contribute to economic growth which in turn increases per capita energy use thereby raising CO2 emissions – a major cause of environmental degradation and consequential adverse effects on tourism development. The long-run findings, although inconclusive, are only indicative of short-run observations. Therefore, the policy focus should be on devising promotional strategies for encouraging the extensive use of clean energy for environmental protection. Such a policy base can be instrumental in fostering the development of India tourism and also, be pivotal for achieving sustainable economic growth.
