3、ultural capital emerged as significant.This is a result that corresponds toexpectations,given that foods and beverages are the primary source of demand in thetourism economy.Hence,investments in agricultural technology may foment linkageswith the tourism market.It is also worth mentioning that for s
4、ignificant backwardlinkages to emerge with local agriculture,a larger scale of tourism may be important.According to the regression results,a strong tourismagriculture nexus will notnecessarily develop at a small scale of tourism demand.It appears that variables related to the entrepreneurial capita
5、l of the hosteconomy are of notable explanatory significance.The human development index(HDI),which is used to measure a countrys general level of development,is significantlyand positively associated with tourism linkages.One plausible explanation for thisis that international tourists,who often or
6、iginate in high-income countries,mayfeel more comfortable and thus be inclined to consume more in a host country thathas a life-style to which they can relate easily.Moreover,it is important to rememberthat the HDI also captures the relative achievements of countries in the level ofhealth and educat
7、ion of the population.Therefore,a higher HDI reflects a healthierand more educated workforce,and thus,the quality of local entrepreneurship.Relatedto this point,it is important to underscore that the level of participation of womenin the host economy also has a significantly positive effect on linka
8、ges.In sum,enhancing local entrepreneurial capital may expand the linkages between tourism andother sectors of the host country.Formal institutions and their regulatory control of the market,proxied by thesize of the government and price controls,were not found to have significant effectson linkages
9、 formation.Despite the importance of democratic governance,this was notidentified as a key determinant either.On the other hand,the significance ofinformal institutions accords with the clustering dynamics inherent in tourism,inwhich linkages are formed on the basis of self-enforcing“relations-based
10、”governance.Also,informalstructurescostlessthanformal,rules-driveninstitutionalframeworksforentrepreneurship.Therefore,highlyformalizedregulations can deter the spontaneous and cost-driven coordination among potentiallocal suppliers and the potential buyers of the tourism economy.One type of formal
11、institutions that does matter is policing and vigilance.Aswould be expected,the results show that countries with higher incidence of violenceor crime are significantly associated with lower levels of tourism linkages.Indeed,the coordination of providers in tourism clusters depends fundamentally on t

13、her foreigninvestors in the tourism economy will be less inclined to maintain productiverelations with the host economy in the absence of predictability and stability.Therefore,investments in institutions that maintain safety and a perception ofsafety,in the host economy appear critical for spawning
14、 coordination.While all country domains may be playing a role in fostering or hindering linkages,the business environment seems to exert an overriding influence on linkages.Aftercontrollingforacountrysnaturalendowments,levelofdevelopment,andinstitutional maturity,the business environment on its own
