Abstract

This article explores the relationship between tourism development and financial development by incorporating economic growth and the real effective exchange rate as additional determinants in the finance demand function of the Malaysian economy. Thus, the analysis relies on the bounds testing approach by accommodating structural breaks to examine the cointegration among the variables and investigates the causal direction between the variables by applying the Toda–Yamamoto Granger causality approach. The results show that all the variables are cointegrated over the period from 1975 to 2016; tourism development is positively related to financial development; economic growth is positively linked with financial development; and real exchange rate is negatively associated with financial development. The Granger causality analysis demonstrates the presence of bidirectional causality between tourism development and financial development as well as a unidirectional causal relationship running from financial development and tourism development to economic growth.
