A waste Kuznet curve: The negative shadows of tourism industry in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia using fully modified and dynamic ordinary least squares
This empirical study investigates the relationship between the tourism industry and municipal solid waste (MSW) creation in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, to determine whether a Waste Kuznet Curve (WKC) exists. The study runs from 2014 to 2020, using data acquired from several government official websites in ten Regencies/Districts. Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) and Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) regression approaches were employed to analyze this relationship. This inquiry yielded three important discoveries. First, a significant and negative link is seen between the development of the tourism business and the increase in MSW output. This demonstrates that the booming tourism sector hurts environmental conditions, exacerbating environmental issues that require government intervention. This empirical study investigates the relationship between the tourism industry and MSW creation in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, to determine whether a WKC exists.
