<![CDATA[This study investigates the determinants of tourism economic resilience by examining the roles of tourism quantity and tourism quality in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. While previous studies predominantly emphasize tourist arrivals as the main driver of regional economic growth, limited attention has been paid to tourism quality indicators such as hotel occupancy rates and average length of stay. Using balanced panel data from five districts/cities during 2015–2024, this study employs panel data regression to analyze the effects of tourist arrivals, hotel occupancy rates, average length of stay, hotel capacity, and the post-pandemic period on the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of the accommodation and food service sector. Model selection through the Chow and Hausman tests indicates that the Fixed Effects Model is the most appropriate estimation approach. The findings reveal that tourist arrivals, average length of stay, and hotel capacity positively and significantly influence sectoral GRDP, whereas hotel occupancy rates exhibit a significant negative relationship. Meanwhile, the post-pandemic recovery period does not have a statistically significant independent effect after controlling for tourism indicators. These findings extend the Tourism-Led Growth Hypothesis by demonstrating that tourism quality, particularly longer visitor stays, contributes more substantially to regional economic resilience than increasing visitor numbers alone. The study provides policy implications for promoting quality-oriented tourism strategies to enhance local value creation and sustainable regional economic development.]]>
