Document Type : Research Paper

Authors

Abstract

The phenomenon of tourism has a positive and negative effect on the life of the host communities in economic, social, and cultural dimensions, which has been investigated in many studies. This phenomenon also affects the health status of residents, which has been considered in previous studies with indicators such as quality of life and residents' perception. This study aims to investigate the impact of inbound tourism on the health of the host community using the life expectancy index. Therefore, the effect of tourism on life expectancy with an emphasis on the food production index as a representative of food security in 30 OIC and Oil Exporting selected countries (based on the maximum available data) during the period of 2004-2018 through using of the GMM method has been investigated. The results reveal that there is a cointegration and long-term relationship between the variables. The variables of inbound tourism, GDP per capita, health expenditures per capita, and food security have a positive and significant effect on life expectancy at birth. The variable of carbon dioxide emission has a negative and significant effect on life expectancy. According to the results, it is recommended that governments pay more attention to the effective attraction of international tourists by controlling the adverse effects of tourism. Food security as an effective factor in increasing the life expectancy should be considered by policymakers.
