MACROECONOMIC DETERMINANTS OF TOURISM FLOWS IN THE PHILIPPINES: AN APPLICATION OF SEEMINGLY UNRELATED REGRESSION AND MULTIPLE REGRESSION Tourism is one of the two foundations of the Philippine economy, which accounts for over half a million new jobs and contributes to gaining foreign exchange earnings and increasing economic growth. Policymakers and industry stakeholders need to understand the macroeconomic factors that determine the volume of international travel flows to encourage the country to bacome a more attrative destination. This thesis focuses on the key source countries of tourism flows to the Philippines: Japan, South Korea, the United State of America, Singapore, and China. In particular, it concerns the role of actual per capita income in these countries, relative price levels, exchange rara fluctuations, and infrastructure-related factors such as hotel rooms and several operating airports/airlines. This research employs Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR) and Multiple Regression to evaluate the interrelationships between the variables and their overall influence on tourist arrivals using data from 1990 to 2025. An individual's mobility is limited by his or her ability to travel in response to higher income fluctuations in the origin country and relative prices and exchange rates between the Philippines and the origin countries. Moreover, due to airport infrastructure-related accessibility, it is adequate, and the feature available significantly reduces factors in terms of convenience and desirability when travelling. An important effort to gain empirical insights into the most important factors that explain tourism demand in the Philippines is made in this study through a robust econometric approach, which is imperative in promoting the sustainable development of the tourism sector and in place of the economic policy formulation. The following data is requested would greatly help me in my research endeavours. 1. Number of Hotel rooms in the Philippines: Annual data from 1990 to 2025. 2. Number of Airlines operating in the Philippines: Annual data from 1990 to 2025. 3. Number of Tourist Arrivals: Annual data from 1990 to 2025, specifically from South Korea, USA, Japan, China, and Singapore.
