Abstract

The relationship between renewable energy, tourism and economic growth in E7 countries is of great importance in line with sustainable development goals. The use of renewable energy sources contributes to economic growth by reducing energy dependency while increasing environmental sustainability. The tourism sector, on the other hand, creates an important source of income by promoting natural beauties and clean energy. E7 countries can support their economic growth through renewable energy investments and the development of the tourism sector. The synergy between these sectors is of strategic importance to increase economic prosperity and reduce environmental impacts. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between renewable energy, tourism and economic growth in E7 countries. For this purpose, annual data for the period 1995-2019 were tested with panel data analysis. According to the analysis results, a long-term relationship was determined between the variables used in the analysis for the E7 countries. In the panel causality analysis, a bidirectional causality relationship was detected between all variables. It is important that renewable energy, tourism and economic growth factors support each other in achieving sustainable development goals. According to the study results, it is recommended that strategies to achieve sustainable development and economic growth goals are produced by E7 countries.

Özet

E7 ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji, turizm ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki, sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedefleri doğrultusunda büyük bir önem taşımaktadır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı, çevresel sürdürülebilirliği artırırken enerji bağımlılığını azaltarak ekonomik büyümeye katkıda bulunmaktadır. Turizm sektörü ise doğal güzelliklerin ve temiz enerjinin teşviki ile birlikte önemli bir gelir kaynağı oluşturur. E7 ülkeleri, yenilenebilir enerji yatırımları ve turizm sektörünün gelişimi sayesinde ekonomik büyümelerini destekleyebilirler. Bu sektörler arasındaki sinerji, ekonomik refahı artırmak ve çevresel etkileri azaltmak adına stratejik bir öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışmanın amacı E7 ülkelerinde yenilenebilir enerji, turizm ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkisinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda 1995-2019 dönemi yıllık verileri panel veri analizi ile test edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre E7 ülkeleri için analizde kullanılan değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Panel nedensellik analizinde ise tüm değişkenler arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişki olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Çalışmada ele alınan yenilenebilir enerji, turizm ve ekonomik büyüme faktörlerinin birbirini desteklemesi sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmada önem arz etmektedir. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre sürdürülebilir kalkınma ve ekonomik büyüme hedeflerine ulaşmada stratejilerin E7 ülkeleri tarafından üretilmesi önerilmektedir.
