Abstract: | The tourism sector is sensitive to the exchange rates between travelers' home countries and their destinations. Suspecting that the exposure of domestic tourism-related (herein as: t-rtd.) firms to foreign exchange (hereafter as: f-exg.) risk results from price elasticity of demand, this study tested the cash flow exposure of sample firms, accounting for non-linearity, asymmetry, and lagged effects. As a result, 78 per cent of U.S. domestic t-rtd. firms was found to have significant f-exg. exposure. In addition, f-exg. exposure for t-rtd. firms was also found to be non-linear, asymmetric, and lagged etc. |
