Minitab, Excel and E-views software were used for data analysis. Time-series econometrics techniques were used, namely Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) for unit root test, Engle–Granger for co-integration, and Granger causality test for causal relationships. The findings of the study showed that there is a positive relationship between tourism receipts and economic growth in the long-run and Granger causality test results revealed that the unidirectional causality from tourism earnings helped the economic growth.
