Tourism-Led Growth in Nigeria: A Time-Series and Structural Equation Modelling Approach to International Tourist Arrivals, Receipts, and GDP Contribution (2010–2025)
This study investigates the relationship between tourism demand and economic growth in Nigeria over the period 2010–2025, employing an integrated analytical framework that combines time-series econometric techniques and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Using annual data on international tourist arrivals, tourism receipts, tourist spending, and tourism contribution to GDP, the study applies the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) unit root test, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing, and Error Correction Model (ECM) to examine both short-run and long-run d…
