This study is to examine the contribution of tourism to Malaysia’s economic growth. The data collected in this study is from 1998 to 2019. The independent variables in this study are labour, real capital and real tourism receipts per capita, while the dependent variable in this study is economic growth of Malaysia. Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) also included to this study to examine the MM2H’s contribution to Malaysia’s economic growth.
