TY - JOUR PY - 1991// TI - Causality between transnational terrorism and tourism: the case of Spain JO - Terrorism A1 - Enders, Walter A1 - Sandler, Todd SP - 49 EP - 58 VL - 14 IS - 1 N2 - The purpose of this paper is to devise a methodology for estimating the impact of transnational terrorism on tourism. Using monthly data from 1970-1988, we estimate the relationship between terrorism and tourism for Spain. We find that terrorist events have had a significant negative impact on the number of tourists visiting Spain. A typical incident is estimated as scaring away just over 140,000 tourists when all monthly impacts are combined. Moreover, the causality is unidirectional: terrorism affects tourism, but not the reverse.
