博士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 國際企業學系 === 107 === Tourism development always deserves much attention for many governments. The development of tourism industry is related and relates to other sectors, such as transportation and hotels. It involves many merits such as raising foreign exchange earnings and increasing job opportunities. Therefore, tourism development has an influence on economic growth and attracts many concerns for authorities and scholars. This theme includes two different stages. One is to analyze the competitiveness of hotel markets in Taiwan via Porter five forces analysis and principal components analysis so as to fill the gap in previous studies. The other is to explore the effects of tourism development on economic growth and the environment in the OECD countries. Furthermore, I discuss some influences of policies to them. The results indicate that the developed quantified analysis helps to realize how some hotels often capture the top position of the markets that benefits hotels’ managers. Tourism development has a positive and persistent influence on economic growth to which the conditions of domestic and foreign investments can affect it. However, tourism development can reduce environmental quality and then reduce the number of tourists, but the improvement of energy use efficiency can mitigate the negative effect and thereby enhance the sustainability of tourism development.
