The study aims to explain the economic impact of Internet implication in tourism sector by takingsample of mega project listed countries (which provide big pitch to boost tourism business). Ourwork find the volatility cause of tourism revenue at country i, by examining the inbound touristexpenditures as a factor of technological infrastructure. We deploy data ranging from 1990 to 2017and uses error correction model as representative of Autoregressive-Distributed Lag (ARDL)model after addressing diagnostic tests (for data reliability concern). We found long- and short-runassociation between tourism expenditure and information and communication technology (ICT)proxies in case of developed economies, while only short-run association in underdevelopedcountries. The startling scenario about underdeveloped economies are also confirmed by one-waycausation in our analysis. After sensitive analysis at each slot, the study concludes that tourismrevenue is streaming low across those boundaries where tourists are suffered by paying more dueto technological inaccessibility and its underdeveloped infrastructure. The suffered economies arerecommended to upgrade their ICT sector to facilitate inbound tourist.
