Turizm endüstrisinde, turistlerin talepleri doğrultusunda; konaklama, yiyecek, eğlence ve ulaşım gibi sektörlerde artan üretimler hem istihdamın artmasına sebep olmakta hem de döviz geliri elde edildiği için ödemeler dengesinde önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Turizm endüstrisi yoğun şekilde yabancı yatırımlara ev sahipliği yaptığı için büyümeye çalışan ekonomilerde kilit bir unsurdur. Çalışmada merkezi planlamadan serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçen ve 1 May 2004’te Avrupa Birliğine üye olan Çek Cumhuriyeti, Estonya, Macaristan, Letonya, Litvanya, Polonya, Slovakya, ve Slovenya ekonomilerinde, 1995-2018 döneminde turizm gelirlerinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi panel veri yöntemi ile incelenmektedir. Ampirik analizler sonucunda turizm geliri ile ekonomik büyüme arasında pozitif ve orta derecede korelasyon bulunduğu tespit edilmiş, bununla birlikte Çek Cumhuriyeti, Macaristan, Letonya ve Polonya ekonomilerinde turizm gelirlerinden ekonomik büyümeye doğru nedensellik olduğu belirlenmiştir.
