Corruption and its related indicators are influential factors in the promotion and development of tourism in a country or region. In other words, the security and fragility of corruption is the first and most basic need of a tourist. Various studies indicate a decline in tourism entry rates as a result of political corruption and conflicts around the world. This research examined the role of some indicators of corruption such as corruption perception and good governance on tourism by Panel-Vector Autoregressive Model among the 30 developing countries during 2006-2015. The results show the positive and significant impact of economic growth, control of corruption, good governance and political stability on increasing tourism incomes, but, the significant negative effect of corruption on tourism in the countries under study.
