On the contrary, economicgrowth and countries price levels have no significant effects on tourism develop-ment. At the country level results; financial development has positive effects on tour-ism development in most countries.

Therefore, the out-come of this study reveals that that visitors do not consider the development and theprice level of the country but rather the facilities available including the facilities inthe financial structures
