Abstract
Tourism plays a crucial role in the global economy, influencing various sectors, including financial markets. This thesis examines the relationship between tourism and stock market performance, focusing on how tourism-related industries impact stock indices and investor sentiment. Using empirical data and theoretical analysis, this study highlights key factors such as economic cycles, geopolitical events, and consumer spending that link tourism dynamics with stock market fluctuations. The findings provide insights into investment strategies and economic policies that optimize financial stability amidst tourism-driven market changes.
