Focusing on annual data, this paper utilized the bounds testing approach to cointegration and error-correction modeling to evaluate if tourism and exchange rates promote economic growth in BIMP-EAGA. The results revealed that Philippines is the only country that has a positive short and long impact from tourism's industry and exchange rates.
