AB This study proposes a methodology to construct a Tourism Economic Dependence Index for asample of 144 countries spanning the period 1995–2019. This index aims to serve as a summarymeasure of countries’ dependence on tourism while controlling for differences in economic developmentlevels across countries. Findings suggest that an index value of 20% may be considered athreshold for identifying highly tourism-dependent countries. Furthermore, the results of the indexindicate that economies have experienced a slight trend toward higher levels of dependence ontourism since the global financial crisis. However, estimates from a panel convergence modelsuggest that the hypothesis of convergence toward a common long-run equilibrium in index levelsacross countries can be rejected. Instead, different groups of countries converging toward the samelong-run equilibrium level of the index have been identified.
