The impact of post-9/11 visa policies on travel to the United States

American and foreign businesses, politicians, and media have all pointed to post-9/11 changes in visa policies as being responsible for the sharp decline in travel to the United States following the attacks. Using an empirical model which distinguishes the impact of visa policy from economic and country-specific factors, we find that changes in visa policy were not important contributors to the decrease in travel to the United States. Rather, the reduction in entries was largest among travelers who were not required to obtain a visa.     

大湄公河次区域旅游手续便利化探讨

旅游活动的异地性决定了旅游手续办理是国际游客不可避免的。旅游手续便利化已成为目的地国家／地区吸引游客的一项重要举措。自大湄公河次区域旅游合作开展以来，如何在次区域内简化旅游手续一直受到各界关注，然而目前次区域旅游手续便利化程度与无障碍旅游的嗣标还相差较远。从次区域旅游手续便利化的现状出发，在分析了次区域旅游手续便利化的必要性的基础上，从签证的角度探讨了在次区域内进一步简化旅游手续的2种途径：犹如欧洲“申根签证”的形式；基于交通干线或经济走廊的廊道形式。     

Passport,please! Travels,travails and trade

A country’s visa policies are widely assumed to have economic consequences. In this short paper, I examine the effect of the ease with which a country’s citizens can enter foreign countries on international trade. Using a specification of the gravity model that avoids the endogeneity problems that typically arise when analyzing the association between ease of travel and the extent of bilateral interactions, I find that countries which issue powerful passports experience more international trade.     

The role of United States Visa Waiver Program on cross-border travel

This study investigates the role of the United States Visa Waiver Program on inbound travel. We employ Difference-in-Difference estimation using panel data on US inbound travel. We conclude, ceteris paribus, that admitting a country to the programme increases inbound travel from the origin country to the US by between 29% and 44% depending on the specification.     

The role of visa exemption in Chinese tourists’ decision-making: a model of goal-directed behavior

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of visa exemption in tourist decision-making using the extended model of goal-directed behavior (EMGB). Surveys were administered to Chinese tourists interested in traveling to South Korea. The structural equation model indicates that the inclusion of the expectation of tourist visa exemption enhanced Chinese tourists’ behavioral intention. Specifically, positive and negative anticipated emotions, perceived behavioral control, and the notion of a subjective norm were important antecedents of travel intention. Desire was the only significant factor affecting Chinese tourists’ travel intention. This study enhances our understanding of Chinese tourists’ intention to travel to South Korea.
