CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

The internalization of an economy that was once characterized by its foreign trade flows (imports and exports) and by the movement of people, nowadays results in an intensification of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) movements. Globalization and neo-liberal policies, including liberalization and privatization, have generated a significant growth of FDI in recent years (Mwillima, 2003). Despite the increase of globalization in the Tourism industry, there is surprisingly little empirical research on the impact of FDI. Many studies about FDI exist, but only a few analyze the Tourism sector and its hospitality (Osuala 2007). Even though FDI plays an important role in the development of world Tourism, the analysis and its impacts on hospitality sector has been neglected and has attracted less attention than what was expected. Most countries worldwide try to attract FDI to promote their growth. FDI is a means to finance new structures and equipment and allow a transfer of more advanced technology and forms of management, in addition to the multiplier effects it provides. It is crucial for countries to understand what drives companies to invest abroad, given that FDI contributes to their economic growth and development. The aim of this study is to identify the impacts of foreign direct investment on the hospitality sector, from a comprehensive review of literature. Accordingly, the paper begins with a brief summary of international trade theories and their connection with FDI; followed by a theoretical framework of FDI, identifying the positive and negative impacts that it has on the hospitality sector and the determinant factors in the attraction process. In the second part of the paper, the connection between FDI and its impact on the hospitality sector is analyzed, concluding that the factors considered determinant in FDI attraction are similar to Tourism and other sectors, but varying in their importance. Lastly, some strategies are suggested to attract FDI.

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The financial system in North Cyprus is relatively underdeveloped by western standards, even though progress has been made. Despite some recent improvement, business freedom remains constrained by some factors. For example, corruption and political unrest in North Cyprus remains in high levels. This is evident in all the sectors and levels of government. North Cyprus is still considered a transit country. The economy remains vulnerable on several fronts due to tax evasion and the lack of anti-money laundering laws. The resolution of the property problem in North Cyprus is obstructing foreign investors. The process of the denationalization of land and national buildings, medium and large-sized national enterprises in industrial sectors with intensive capital, and strategic sectors like energy, water and transport, has been slow, thereby reducing its impact on the hospitality sector

  1. to determine the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI)and the hospitality industry in northern Cyprus

  5. to proffer solution to the above problem

1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

The study came up with research questions so as to ascertain the above stated objectives of the study. The research questions for the study are:

  1. What is the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the hospitality industry in northern Cyprus?

1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has become an increasingly important element for economic development. Specifically in the Tourism and Hospitality Sectors, it is paramount to know which factors affect FDI inflows. This work offers a comprehensive review of articles that were published, and to determine if the impacts of FDI on the Hospitality Sector are similar to the determinants of FDI in other sectors. The information obtained is a starting point for the implementation of strategies to attract foreign investment. The study will also serve as a repository of information to other researchers that desire to carry out similar research on the above topic. Finally the study will contribute to the body of existing literature and knowledge in this field of study and provide a basis for further research

1.7 SCOPE OF STUDY

This study on the impact of foreign direct investment on the hospitality sector in North Cyprus will cover various approaches to the study and its impact on the area of study from the year 2000 to 2017.

Financial constraint- Insufficient funds tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature/information and in the process of data collection (statistical data from World Bank).

Time constraint- The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. Consequently, this will cut reduce the time devoted for the research work.
