ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of China risk on subsequent tourism demand and hospitality industry performance in Korea. A VARX model, an impulse response analysis and a conditional forecasting analysis were used on monthly time series data from January 2000 to December 2016, to realize the study objectives. Results of the analysis reveal that all three macro economic variables relating to China have no influence on Chinese tourism demand in Korea. However, the total number of Chinese tourist arrivals affects the performance of three major hospitality industries in Korea: airlines, lodging, and travel agencies. The outcome of conditional forecasting shows that the impact of China risk on Korean hospitality industries is greater than expected.
