Abstract

The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) was formed with the aim of achieving the perfect economic integration in the ASEAN region which is believed to provide tangible benefits for all elements of society. Export activities are needed in the AEC to increase purchasing power. Digital technology is needed to help increase the number of goods produced. This will also affect the tourism sector. The higher the value of exports, the better the impact on the tourism sector. Digital technology is needed to improve the tourism sector to better introduce tourism places to tourists. This study uses a quantitative method with panel data secondary to the 2011-2015 period by combining 10 ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos, Cambodia). From the calculation of T-Test, it can be concluded that the export variable partially influences the significance of the tourism variable and Digital variable partially influences the positive significance of the Tourism variable. From the calculation of F value, that simultaneously or together the independent variables have a significant effect on the dependent variable. The influence of export, digital on the number of arrival of ASEAN countries needs to be improved even though it is good. Tourism (Number of Arrivals) growth in all ASEAN countries experiencing good growth. The problem is how to keep this Number of Arrival getting better. Export activities are one of the things to maintain the number of arrival in order to create a quality product so that it will have high purchasing power. Of course the role of the digital economy is urgently needed, the growing internet users will have a positive impact on increasing tourism in ASEAN countries which will help better economic openness in ASEAN countries.
