<![CDATA[This study was conducted to analyze the effects of the number of tourists, the number of hotels, and hotel occupancy rates on the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of regencies and cities in Jambi Province. This study is important because there is a discrepancy between Jambi Province’s tourism potential and its contribution to the regional economy, as reflected in the regional gross domestic product (GRDP); meanwhile, the results of previous studies on the factors influencing this discrepancy have also yielded inconsistent findings. This study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Jambi Province. The data used consists of panel data covering 11 regencies and cities in Jambi Province for the period 2017–2024. Data analysis was performed using panel data regression with EViews 14, involving model selection and hypothesis testing. The results indicate that, taken together, the variables number of tourists, number of hotels, and hotel room occupancy rate have a significant effect on the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of regencies and cities in Jambi Province. Partially, the number of tourists has a positive and significant effect on RDP, with a coefficient of 0.020447 and a p-value of 0.0086 < 0.05. The number of hotels has a positive but insignificant effect on RDP, with a coefficient of 0.046588 and a p-value of 0.2182 > 0.05. Meanwhile, the hotel room occupancy rate has a positive and significant effect on GRDP, with a coefficient of 0.000625 and a p-value of 0.0000 < 0.05. ]]>
