This study examined the relationships between domestic tourism spending, international tourism receipts and the economic growth of eight Southeast Asian countries from 1995-2018 using a Pedroni cointegration test, fully-modified OLS (FMLOS), dynamic OLS (DOLS) and Granger causality tests. The results showed a strong long-term relationship between economic growth, domestic tourism spending and international tourism receipts. Based on the results, Southeast Asian countries should increase tourism development to improve economic growth.Keywords: economic growth, domestic tourism, international tourism, tourism development ER -
