The identified research problem in this study can be classified into three dimensions. The first dimension is linked to the practical problem prompting the need for diversification.Secondly, the problem is also linked to the identified inconsistency regarding the Tourism-led Growth Hypothesis (TLGH) based on findings by contemporary empirical studies in literature. With regards to this, the Tourism-Led Growth Hypothesis (TLGH) postulates that more resources should be allocated to the tourism industry relative to other sectors in order to accelerate economic growth rates (Terzi, 2015). Furthermore, the third dimension of the research problem is linked to the identified gap in empirical literature based on the phenomenon that even though many studies have investigated the impact of tourism on economic growth, none of the studies have considered investigating the impact of the interaction between the tourism sector and other sectors such as the travel services sector on economic growth. tate the possible research topic and identify THREE (3) possible regressors based on the narrative above.
