A literature review on the tourism-led-growth hypothesis (2010, unknown): “Examples of this kind are the Bahamas, the Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands and St Lucia for which the share of tourism of GDP is more than 60% (Vanegas and Croes, 2003).”
Tourism and Economic Growth (2016, background): “For example, Vanegas and Croes (2003) found that in the case of the Caribbean island of Aruba, international tourism has been the most successful growth-oriented sector of the economy since the late 1980s, mainly because it has been part of a broader export-oriented and neoliberal economic policy…”
A comparison of the moderating effect of tourism reliance on the economic development for islands and other countries (2016, background): “Some researchers examined the increasing dependency of islands like Cyprus and Aruba on tourism and the potential positive and negative impacts (e.g., social, cultural, and environmental) related to continued development (Ayres, 2000; Vanegas & Croes, 2003).”

An econometric study of tourist arrivals in Aruba and its implications. (2005, background): “This figure is significantly higher than that of the Caribbean as a whole ( Vanegas & Croes, 2003; Bryan, 2001).”
Time-varying linkages between tourism receipts and economic growth in a small open economy (2011, background): “Taking the relation between export and economic growth into account, it will not be inaccurate to hold that the premise that tourism will lead to economic growth stems from this relationship (Vanegas and Croes, 2003).”
