| description | The steadily increasing international tourism has grown to become one of the largest export categories in the world. In this paper I study the effect of security on international tourism flow from the G-7 countries to low-income countries. I use a gravity type approach for cross-sectional data, the year 2014, with 10 variables among them two security variables. My results suggest that no relationship exists between security and tourism flows. However, I am reluctant to draw any type of definite conclusion due to possible weaknesses in method. By highlighting the economic contribution of international tourism, I feel it is necessary to continue with similar studies at both global and regional levels. |

Den ständigt ökade internationella turismen har vuxit till att bli en av de största export-kategorierna i världen. Genom att studera turistflödet från G-7 länder till låginkomstländer har denna uppsats syftat till att påvisa effekten av säkerhet, specifikt på turism till låginkomstländer. Med hjälp av gravitationsmodellen för året 2014, estimeras effekten via tio förklaringsvariabler, varav två av dessa är säkerhetsvariabler. Resultatet påvisar att det inte existerar en korrelation mellan säkerhet och turistflöden, dock bör resultatet inte generaliseras på grund av potentiella svagheter i metod. Genom att belysa det ekonomiska bidraget av internationell turism hävdar jag att det är viktigt med fortsatta studier inom området, både på global och regional nivå. 2016-07-12 First cycle, G2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/9406/1/merza_s_160711.pdf Merza, Stefan, 2016.
