Mechanism of influence of the digital economy on tourism industry development
The digital economy is an important driver of the development of the tourism industry.In order to analyze the multidimensional transmission mechanism and spatial spillover effect of the digital economy on the development of the tourism industry,this study used the panel data of 30 provinces(data of Xizang,Hong Kong,Macao and Taiwan are temporarily unavailable)in China's mainland from 2012 to 2019,and the panel benchmark regression model,the mediation effect model,and the spatial econometric model to conduct an empirical analysis.The results show that:1)The digital economy played a significant role in promoting the development of the tourism industry.2)Consumer demand,technological innovation,and institutional change were the important pathways of the digital economy affecting the development of the tourism industry.Among these three factors,consumer demand and technological innovation had a partial mediation effect,and institutional change had a masking effect.3)Under the condition of a certain spatial weight,the digital economy had a spatial spillover effect on the development of the tourism industry,and the digital economy had a siphon effect on the development of the tourism industry in the adjacent areas of informatization,but had no obvious spatial spillover effect on the geographically adjacent areas.This paper can provide theoretical references and practical guidance for further deepening the integration of digital economy and tourism industry,and promoting high-quality development of the tourism industry.
