dc.description.abstractThe aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between the internal financial and capital structure of an organization in the travel and tourism sector. The study shows how financial constraints on tourism companies affect their ability to finance themselves. The study also shows a relationship between tax shielding and financial leverage. This study analyzes panel data collected over a 21 year period, from 1998 to 2019, from over 100 publicly traded tourism companies in three Asian countries. A panel data methodology and the generalized method of moments estimation (GMM) were used in this empirical study. To support our hypothesis, using a generic method to evaluate parameter estimation will be our most effective method to improve the literature. Overall, the results show that financially stressed tourism firms use their option of debt-free tax avoidance to increase leverage. There is also a positive correlation between tax haven and leverage for firms with limited resources. The correlations between financial leverage and corporate debt supported by the results theoretically support the pecking order. By providing useful insights into the tax shielding of non-debt, which is significantly correlated with leverage for firms operating in tourism, this study closes the gap in firms' capital structure decisions regarding access to finance.JEL Classification: G0, G01, L25
