ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the relationship between the tourism activities and price level in Pakistan by using monthly data set from 1972 to 2016. In this study, aggregated as well as disaggregated price level have been considered. Co-integration results suggest significant long-run relationship between tourism and all price level of goods and services except fuel and lightning. Results of the wavelet transformation show a strong variation in short-run. The results of the wavelet transformation coherence also show an in-phase as well as out-phase both associations between the prices and tourism receipts in the mid-term and long-term periods.

8. Structural break unit root test indicated that ITR and consumer prices contain a unit root with structural breaks.
9. The results of Gregory and Hansen (Citation1996) structural break test confirms the long run co-integration among the ITR and consumer prices with structural break.
14. Arrows directed towards the left shows that the variables (prices and tourism receipts) are out of phase and are having anti cyclic effect on each other.
15. When Small arrows are moving to the right, it means that the variables (prices and tourism receipts) are in-phase and are having cyclical effect on each other.
